[SOLVED] Remove fields from the Registration Process

[robkwal]

Hi all...

I am looking to remove a couple of fields from the registration process, 1st being the "Receive special offers from our partners", the 2nd being The additional Info box, as they can provide addition info in the checkout process.

Also is it possible to have the months abbreviated to say Jan, Feb etc. How would i go about that?

To remove "Receive special offers from our partners", you'll need to edit lines 137-140 of authentication.tpl and 101-104 of identity.tpl in your theme's directory (in PrestaShop v1.3.1) and {* comment out *} the following lines:

   <input type="checkbox" name="optin" id="optin" value="1" {if $smarty.post.optin == 1} checked="checked"{/if} />
{l s='Receive special offers from our partners'}

To remove the "Additional information" box, you'll need to {* comment out *} lines 194-197 of authentication.tpl and lines 84-87 of address.tpl in your theme's directory:

{l s='Additional information'}
   <textarea id="other" name="other" cols="26" rows="3">{if isset($smarty.post.other)}{$smarty.post.other}{else}{$address->other|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}</textarea>

To abbreviate the months, go to Tools > Translations > Front Office translations, click the USA flag, then scroll down to the "authentication" section and enter "Jan" in the "January" field, "Feb" in the "February" field, etc. Do the same in the "identity" section, then click "Update translations" at the bottom of the page.

Thanks Rocky!!!

I went in and deleted those lines. Works Ok. Is this wrong?

[rocky]

It is better to comment out code instead of delete it, since it makes it easier to see what you have deleted and to undelete it if needed in the future.

[nuchie1]

how do you commit out a code?

[rocky]

It depends on the type of code. In a PHP file, you can add // to the front of a line to comment it out or wrap /* */ around the code. In TPL files, you should wrap the code in {* *}. In CSS files, you should wrap the code in /* */.

For prestashop 1.4 it`s still the ugly old fashion product ? Half of us do not need birthday or 2 numbers, zip code, etc

Same procedure in Prestashop 1.4.x.x?
I mean is it stille the files authentication.tpl and identity.tpl in your theme's directory you should edit?

Hi there,

I just did this for my PS 1.4x installation using the one page checkout. You'll want to grab the order-opc-new-account.tpl in your theme's directory. Look for line 171 and comment out that block.

I took out the birthday and the newsletter stuff too.

Hope this helps!

The fix doesnt work for me...

 

I have commented out/removed/changed the following lines of code and the recieve special offers from our partners is still there!! it doesnt go away....

 

<p class="checkbox" >
   <input type="checkbox"name="optin" id="optin" value="1" {if isset($smarty.post.optin) AND $smarty.post.optin == 1} checked="checked"{/if} />
   <label for="optin">{l s='Receive special offers from our partners'}</label>
  </p>

 

in both authentication and indentity in my theme folder

 

What am i doing wrong am i forgetting something??

 

i have 1.3.2.3 if that matters

Hi Saray,

Have you emptied /tools/smarty/compile folder after the modifications? If not then you have to do it before refreshing your page. Actually you have to do it every time you modify a .tpl file.

Hope it'll help you.
