Removing username and password on checkout
 

I want to remove the whole section at the bottom of the first checkout page where it allows you to pick a username and password and membership.
Is commenting that out good enough?

Thanks

Yep, just make sure 'Disable Anon Checkout' is NOT checked in General Settings.

Ok I thought I could track down where to remove this but I figured wrong. What file holds this?

Thanks

Customer/main/register.tpl

Beware... you may get an error 36 when you try to modify the profile after the details have already been entered... well i do on 411

"The problem arises because of the custom change you made in the template 'skin1/customer/main/register.tpl': you replaced the line

{include file="main/register_account.tpl" userinfo=$userinfo}

with



To solve the problem you should restore the original line."

I am now looking at editing the register_account.tpl itself

I see this is an old post, but I too am having this issue and have yet to figure out a fix. Does anyone know how to remove the username/password section from customer/main/register.tpl and NOT run into the error when modifying the information and clicking submit? Rather than fully deleting the include of main/register_account.tpl I've tried the following if statement as well:

{if $usertype eq "A"}
{include file="main/register_account.tpl" userinfo=$userinfo}
{/if}

This is also effective in removing the section, but I still get the Access Denied your are not allowed to access that resource error id #36 message when trying to modify account information.

Any ideas on how to remove the username/password area the correct way would be great!

You probably don't want to remove the template, just comment out the part the customer sees about "You don't have to register and can checkout without creating an account...(or whatever you have)" and then commenting out the portions that the customer enters a username and password. By enabling Anon checkout the customer doesn't need to see it. Be aware that you will still see customers labeled as anon...1, anon..2, etc. Also, be ready to answer questions about "where is my order?"

Hi J,

I've tried commenting out the username and password field section, and it does effectively take it away, but the problem is that on the page directly after the personal info page (verify order) if you click the modify button and try to save a change it spits out the "Access Denied your are not allowed to access that resource error id #36" error message. I definitely have anan checkout enabled - it seems like some sort of a session error or something as if it doesn't think it's the same person that just filled in the information.

I'm sure there must be a way to do this so if anyone has a tip on how to avoid this error that would be great!
