How to set firstname and lastname not required if company is set

[shaft]

Hello,

 

I would need advice on how to set not required fields for first name and last name, if the customer fills the company field.

--------------------------------

For example 1:

 

The customer fills in the order:

Company: XYZ

First name: "empty"  // not required

Last name: "empty" // not required

Adress line: XYZ

ZIP CODE: XYZ

City: XYZ

State : XYZ

etc....

 

For example 2:

 

Company: XYZ

First name: XYZ // they can fill, but not required

Last name: XYZ // they can fill, but not required

Adress line: XYZ

ZIP CODE: XYZ

City: XYZ

State : XYZ

etc....

 

For example 3:

 

Company: "empty"

First name: XYZ //now it is required

Last name: XYZ //now it is required

Adress line: XYZ

ZIP CODE: XYZ

City: XYZ

State : XYZ

etc....

 

-----------

Anybody know, how to do that?

 

Prestashop version 1.6.0.7.

 

I think this will help more people.

 

Thank you, for your answer.

 

Best regards,

Shaft

It would not really be a simple change, it is something that would take a lot of time basically and might include changing payment modules to, depending on what modules you are using.

I was trying do something in "controllers/front/AddressController.php" and "controllers/front/AuthController.php" like:

 

If company is set, no need to validate a first name and last name, else first name and last name is required. But withnout success... :/

I have the same problem. It takes something like

if (Tools::getValue('company')!= '')

but what next?

Any ideas?

Maybe I solved this...

First, make "firstname" and "lastname" not required.

 

In Customer.php and Address.php:

delete

'required' => true,

from

'lastname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),
'firstname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),

Then, in /controllers/front/AddressController.php add in function processSubmitAddress()

below

protected function processSubmitAddress()
	{
		$address = new Address();
		$this->errors = $address->validateController();
		$address->id_customer = (int)$this->context->customer->id;

		// Check page token
		if ($this->context->customer->isLogged() && !$this->isTokenValid())
			$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Invalid token.');

add this

if (Tools::getValue('company') == '') {
	       $nameone = Tools::getValue('firstname');
				if(empty($nameone))
					$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('firstname is required');
	       $nametwo = Tools::getValue('lastname');
				if(empty($nametwo))
					$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('lastname is required'); }

And the same code add in AuthController.php

below

protected function processSubmitAccount()
	{
		Hook::exec('actionBeforeSubmitAccount');
		$this->create_account = true;
		if (Tools::isSubmit('submitAccount'))
			$this->context->smarty->assign('email_create', 1);
		// New Guest customer
