remove birthdate from sign up

[audreysmith]

Hi

 

I lost a sale because the customer did not want to give his birth date to sign up on the site.

 

Please let me know exactly what file/page this is on in Prestashop so that I can edit the coding

 

Thanks

Hi Audrey,

 

The date of birth is optional, so the customer could have just clicked Register without filling it in, but I guess they didn't realise that. Assuming you're using PrestaShop v1.6.1.5 with the default theme, you can remove the birthday by editing themes/default-bootstrap/authentication.tpl and adding {if false} before and {/if} after lines 132-174:

			<div class="form-group">
				<label>{l s='Date of Birth'}</label>
				<div class="row">
					<div class="col-xs-4">
						<select id="days" name="days" class="form-control">
							<option value="">-</option>
							{foreach from=$days item=day}
								<option value="{$day}" {if ($sl_day == $day)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$day}  </option>
							{/foreach}
						</select>
						{*
							{l s='January'}
							{l s='February'}
							{l s='March'}
							{l s='April'}
							{l s='May'}
							{l s='June'}
							{l s='July'}
							{l s='August'}
							{l s='September'}
							{l s='October'}
							{l s='November'}
							{l s='December'}
						*}
					</div>
					<div class="col-xs-4">
						<select id="months" name="months" class="form-control">
							<option value="">-</option>
							{foreach from=$months key=k item=month}
								<option value="{$k}" {if ($sl_month == $k)} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s=$month} </option>
							{/foreach}
						</select>
					</div>
					<div class="col-xs-4">
						<select id="years" name="years" class="form-control">
							<option value="">-</option>
							{foreach from=$years item=year}
								<option value="{$year}" {if ($sl_year == $year)} selected="selected"{/if}>{$year}  </option>
							{/foreach}
						</select>
					</div>
				</div>
			</div>

You should do the same to lines 132-174 of authentication.tpl, lines 87-131 of identity.tpl, lines 87-129 of order-opc-new-account-advanced.tpl and lines 88-130 of order-opc-new-account.tpl.

Hi Rocky

 

Thanks for the great, detailed explanation.

 

The only problem is that I am using PrestaShop version 1.6.0.14

 

Will your instructions work for PrestaShop version 1.6.0.14?

 

Thanks again

Audrey

They should work, but the line numbers and code may be slightly different. Just look for similar-looking code and you should be fine.

Hi Rocky

Take Care

Hi Rocky

 

Unfortunately it did not work.

 

The changes made the register and login form fields completely disappear.

 

I changed for authentication.tpl, identity.tpl and lines  order-opc-new-account.tpl

 

There is no file called

 

order-opc-new-account-advanced.tpl

 

I put the .tpl pages back the way they were and all is working again.

 

I tried to paste in the files to this post-but-they were too large.
Is there an email address that I can email them to you I will email them to you or ?

 

Thanks

 

Audrey
