How to change required address information

[PaulJW]

I'm using PS 1.4.0.17 and when a customer creates an account they are forced to fill in many address and phone number fields.

How can I change the 'required' fields? In particular I want to remove the need for a postcode.

Would appreciate any help!

Thanks Angora. Was hoping to try and avoid that as my site is working fine as and I'm concerned by all the upgrade problems people seem to be having.

follow this steps and it should work. I removed adresss, phone and zip code according this.

But in this tutorial was one mistake(it took me little bit time to find it)
In AuthoController.php

it is line 120 and 121 //in original file
Delete this instead ( instead what is writeen in pdf for this)

elseif ($zip_code_format)
$this->errors[] = ''.Tools::displayError('Zip/ Postal code').' '.Tools::displayError('is required.');
