Remove required fields in prestashop 1.4

[Biobi]

HI,

I would like to delete some required fields in the different authentification forms. I have 1.4.3 prestashop version.

Thanks !

You can change theme file only by pre-populating the field
in your page theme file (tpl), find the your field, set style="display:none;" at the filed tag
then pre-populate it will a default value

Thanks for your answer but if I want to delete some fields how can I do this ?

Regards,

[shokinro]

you have to related class such as /classes/Customer.php

remove the fields from the list of required fields of the class

 
   protected     $fieldsRequired = array('lastname', 'passwd', 'firstname', 'email');

and also remove it from tpl file

I don't find where to delete the required newsletter checkbox.

[shokinro]

I don't think "newsletter checkbox" is required field. It is not a required field. user does not has to select.

[Biobi]

I have always the error with the "newsletter is required"

[shokinro]

by default it it not included in the 1.4.3.
I guess it is introduced from some of news letter related module?
I see a few news letter related module in 1.4.3, have you installed any of those modules?

[Biobi]

yes I have but after deleting it, the checkbox disapeared but not the required message.

Thanks for your help !

In Address.php found in classes, I needed to remove the required term lastname from the address part of the signup, because I only wanted to request this once.

 

This might be the same for newsletter or whatever, but here are the steps I made with lastname, which should be the same.

 

Don't touch the protected $fieldsRequired = array fields, but rather protected $fieldsValidate = array fields.

 

 

If you touch the first one, no last name will be viewable in backoffice, but touch the last one and it will, but only once, which is enough.

always make sure to have a backup, because in my case if I did not, I would have destroyed the website :/
