How can I make email and password not required?

[Jessie K. Jepsen]

Prestashop 1.5.1

 

I get lots of customers who call and fax me in orders and I don't have emails for them.

 

I would like to make it so email and passwords are not required on the back office "Optional"

 

Or another way around it..

 

Can someone please point me to a solution?

 

Thank you.

Hi Jessie,

 

Do you want those two fields not mandatory?

Hi,

I am also looking for a solution to this, is it possible to make those two fields not mandatory when entering orders in the back office? I'm using prestashop 1.5.4.1.

 

Thanks!

Hi

By default you can not to do this

you must override AuthController and CustomerCore and Auth.tpl and order.tpl

if you know php and smarty it's smiple

if you don't know programming you must tell the prestashop developers

Can anyone provide instructions for this?

Hi

 

I can suggest a workaround to manage this.

 

With this workaround, email and password field will come pre-filled, so you won't need to think about it

 

Note that these instructions are for Prestashop 1.5.4.1

 

Open controllers>admin>AdminCustomersController.php

 

Find line 302

 

 'type' => 'password',

 

change it to

 

 'type' => 'text',

 

then find line 386-393

 

 if (Tools::isSubmit('addcustomer') && Tools::isSubmit('submitFormAjax'))
 {
  $visitor_group = Configuration::get('PS_UNIDENTIFIED_GROUP');
  $guest_group = Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_GROUP');
  foreach ($groups as $key => $g)
   if (in_array($g['id_group'], array($visitor_group, $guest_group)))
 unset($groups[$key]);
 }

 

And change it to

 

 if (Tools::isSubmit('addcustomer') && Tools::isSubmit('submitFormAjax'))
 {
  $visitor_group = Configuration::get('PS_UNIDENTIFIED_GROUP');
  $guest_group = Configuration::get('PS_GUEST_GROUP');
  foreach ($groups as $key => $g)
   if (in_array($g['id_group'], array($visitor_group, $guest_group)))
 unset($groups[$key]);

  if (!$this->object->email){
  $this->object->email =  rand(1, 100000).'@megventure.com';
  $this->object->passwd = 'megventure';
  }	
 }

 

Instead of 'megventure' you can write anything.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Regards.

I dont get the fields pre-filled when I create a new customer but I have upgraded to 1.5.6.1

 

Any thoughts?

Ignore that

 

It does work after a logout / in. 

 

Thanks v much

 

How could I do the same thing when adding a customer address? 

 

Many thanks in advance

In fact I noticed this works from the add customer button in a new order.

How to get it to work from the Add New Customer button

 

or for adding a prefilled customer address?

 

Many thanks

Hello

 

Is this solution still applicable to v1.6.0.5?

 

Thanks
