DNI tax number not required but the field shall appear

[xfdisco]

Hello,

we like to use the field DNI id number but we do not want make it required. We figured out the following settings can be made:

• Localization > Countries > Country-XYZ > DNI necessary? --> is need to be switched on to make the field appear
• Customer > Addresses > Additional required fields ---> Does not make a difference whether the DNI field is to set to required here ... when the previour option is switched on

Does anyone have an idea how we can make the field appear and not make it required?

 

We found this solution but it didn't help. There was no change to see. Did we make something wrong?

 

Thanks in advance

I am not a programmer but I found a solution. Use it on your own risk...

 

1. Make sure in country setting, DNI necessary is off. and add dni field into address format.

2. Edit file address.tpl.

     Search for dni, you will find something like this.. on the <div class=.....    just remove everything so it is just form-group. Like below.

{if $field_name eq 'dni'}
			{assign var="dniExist" value=true}
			<div class="form-group">
				<label for="dni">{l s='Identification number'} <sup>*</sup></label>
				<input class="validate form-control" data-validate="{$address_validation.$field_name.validate}" type="text" name="dni" id="dni" value="{if isset($smarty.post.dni)}{$smarty.post.dni}{else}{if isset($address->dni)}{$address->dni|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}{/if}" />
				<span class="form_info">{l s='DNI / NIF / NIE'}</span>
			</div>

3. Do the same for order-opc-new-account.tpl.
