[solved] customer accounts "titles"

[justdogwalking.com]

Hi

Is there a way of adding "Miss and Mrs" to the title check boxes in the cutomer registration process?

I have had feedback from a female tester that this facility should be there.

in themes/yourcurrenttheme/ folder
open files authentication.tpl and identity.tpl by Notepad or Dramweaver or similiar software,

Find

{l s='Mr.'}

change to

{l s='Miss and Mrs.'}

Save and upload to your server. done.

Actually, I think change to Miss is enough.
Good luck.

Hi Alex

Thanks for coming back.

When a customer wants to create their account - to make a purchase

The personal information page asks if you are a "MR" or "MS" using a radio button to select.

However, a lady that was testing the create account made the point that there is no opportunity to select

"MRS" or "MISS" which are other catagories for a female.

So Ideally I would like to modify the personal information to allow a choice of

Mr: Mrs; Miss and Ms.

I presume this is possible but I am not familiar with coding.
Though I could probably insert code where it is needed.

Does thisn help?

Thanks

hello, I think it is possible but a little bit complicated. I recommend that you combine Mrs, Miss and Ms. together as one button since there are only two gender categories (M or F) in Back Office of prestashop customer section. So if you add more "gender" for customer, PS will not recoganise it.

This is my opinion. For expert answer, developers will do.

Thank you.

Hi

Thanks for the response

You have, I think, confirmed my thinking that the Titles are really there to just establish "gender"
I presume this issue has arisen through incomplete translation.

I will try and change the code to male and female rather than Mr and Ms etc.

Thanks for your input

good luck....

Hi can I just make a supplemental on this subject.

My preference now would be not to use this question at all.

Is there a simple way I can disable this bit of code?

Does it link to anything else?

Thanks

[AlexYao]

you can comment out the code of this part like this

{*your code here*} 

to disable of this option.

It link to customer gender column at Customer tab in BO. Also it link to statistic part of customer.

However, it depends on you to disable the code if you think it is no important for you.

Surely this is another little annoyance that the PS developers could put right by use of a drop down list or a blank text box as there are an ever increasing number of people visiting our websites that want to use a different title to just the two of Mr or Ms.

If someone is a doctor they want to put Dr. there, if they are a Miss they want to put Miss there. Why not make it a drop down menu with selections or a blank box for people to fill in.

It is not much use if you make it read Ms, Miss or Mrs as you still won't know which one to use on receipts.

It is not for us to judge why someone would want to put a different title in there but for us to allow them to do so if they wish to.

Hi Darren

As I said earlier when I was trying to sort this out.

The "titles" element is a poor translation for "Gender" the two buttons should read male & female and the title should read gender.

I went into the code and changed it to gender and male female - but I intend to disable it alltogether when I feel more confident.

I could do some code changes or have it done but I think the PS team need to look at it being in the core files as you have to please every single customer you can in every way to keep their custom.

There is so much competition on the Internet that even small things like these can make the difference to a sale or not.

[darren62]

So come on Prestashop developers.

Having just won the award the least you can do is sort this out for us so that customers can use the titles they wish to use when ordering from our websites.

Don't for one minute think that it doesn't matter because it does and there are a lot of customers out there who get annoyed by something so trivial to others.

As I said, we need to satisfy as many aspects as possible so that customers feel happy with their experience and this problem doesn't help us do that at all.

I too would also like the user to be able to select their own titles from a dropdown list. This would be a welcome addition to the core files.

Hey guys,

I have added Miss and Mrs to the titles. I have started a new topic of how to do it here. Hope it is helpful!
