Removing address part from login page

[vineshkumar]

Hi friends,

 

I wanted some changed in authentication file. Currently when user clicks on login, he is being made to register along with his address. At this point of time, the user has not decided whether to buy or not from the shop. Making the user share the additional information right at the beginning can be dangerous as he may walk out.

 

When user has added few products to the cart and clicked on checkout, then asking him makes a point.

 

Please have a look at below sites

http://www.letsbuy.com/login.php

http://www.flipkart.com/

 

These are India's best etailing sites.

 

So how do I make that part non-mandatory? That would require making changes in some javascript that checks whether values are entered or not.

 

Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

first thing this is not checked by js,

you need to change address class, if you really do not want them as mandatory,(this will effect all address updation processes in entire prestashop)

and need to change the authcontroller and related files, if you dont want to show the form.
