Instant Checkout

[runtime123]

HI there

 

I am trying to change the "required" option on my one page checkout form fields in Presta Shop

 

I think I have found the file in which to do so?

 

"order-opc-new-account.tpl" - in my themes folder.    

 

_

I have removed the asterisk (*) from the field labels, "First Name" and "Last name" however the fields still remain as "required" - even with the (*) removed ?

 

Please can you assist me in changing the code so that these fields are NOT required. 

 

thank you

<div class="required form-group">
<label for="firstname">{l s='First name'} <sup></sup></label>
<input type="text" class="text form-control validate" id="customer_firstname" name="customer_firstname" onblur="$('#firstname').val($(this).val());" data-validate="isName" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && isset($guestInformations.customer_firstname) && $guestInformations.customer_firstname}{$guestInformations.customer_firstname}{/if}" />
</div>
<div class="required form-group">
<label for="lastname">{l s='Last name'} <sup></sup></label>
<input type="text" class="form-control validate" id="customer_lastname" name="customer_lastname" onblur="$('#lastname').val($(this).val());" data-validate="isName" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && isset($guestInformations.customer_lastname) && $guestInformations.customer_lastname}{$guestInformations.customer_lastname}{/if}" />
</div>

My client would like as few fields to be "required" as possible.   The fields still need to remain on the form, however they must not be "required"

Thank you Crezzur  however now I get an error :

1. An error occurred while creating your account.

 

If I fill in the first name and last name fields, then the error goes away and it allows me to proceed?

No - I will enable it now.  I tested it again and I get this error:

 

1. The Zip/Postal code you've entered is invalid. It must follow this format: 0000

thank you Jaimy - is there a way to disable that so that you don't need to fill it in at all ?

This is what is in Address.php (there is no required - true)

 'postcode' =>            array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isPostCode', 'size' => 12),

Is there something I can change in the "validate.php"

 

 /**
     * Check for zip code format validity
     *
     * @param string $zip_code zip code format to validate
     * @return bool Validity is ok or not
   
    public static function isZipCodeFormat($zip_code)
    {
        if (!empty($zip_code)) {
            return preg_match('/^[NLCnlc 0-9-]+$/', $zip_code);
        }
        return true;
    }
