removing multiple customer name entries on register page
 

Anybody know how to do this without it causing errors?

go to profile options and select / de select options.

General setting - profile options

Or better still can somebody tell me all of the relevant files that I will need to edit so I can do it myself?

For instance what file is calling the 'required' fields?

No I don't want to delete customers - sorry maybe I worded it wrongly.

I'm trying to get rid of the stupid triple name entry on the customer registration form. Where they have to enter their name 3 times.

Once for details, and then again for shipping and billing address'.

Edit. ahh you edited so I shall too ;)

That doesn't work. I've done that so they are not required but it still leaves the boxes there.

Go this is tedious, nothing works unless I select the name fields as 'un required' in the back end.

Where are the required fields being called from so I can hard code them out?

may be this will do it.

/customer/main/customer_details.tpl

Nope, the templates you are looking for are:

main/register_billing_address.tpl
main/register_shipping_address.tpl
main/register_personal_info.tpl

Thats the kiddies...

Ok now how do I code out the required bit?


Which parts do I lose or comment out?

After looking at this code I can't see how these templates have anything to do with the required fields apart from adding a red asterisk next to the field.

I need to find the code that actually lablels the fields as required and returns errors when they are not completed

Ah sorry, thought you were looking how to hide the fields. The whole registration process is controlled by include/register.php
