Customizing the signup.pdt to remove unnecessary registration fields.

[Incog]

I have modified signup.pdt ( /plugins/order/views/templates/wizard ) to display as below. I have removed the un-needed fields from view as they're not needed for our business. The trouble I am having is that removing fields, even those that are NOT "required" results in the inability to proceed with the registration process. The page simply does not progress to the next step, and I can not determine why, as I do not believe any relevant code has been snipped. I only want to display the absolute minimum amount of forms required to process an order.

 

 

I have CHANGED this ORIGINAL section:

Is there any particular forms that have to be displayed in order for the information in the others to get processed?

 

For example, if I wanted to remove the company, title, and address 1 and address 2 forms I'd snip this, but doing so means that clicking "Create Account" does nothing but verify the CAPTCHA (if incorrect, you get warning. If correct, the page reloads and the button to "Create Account" is no longer clickable.

I know this may beyond the traditional support given here but I don't want to display registration fields that I don't need. First, Last, and Email are the only hard-coded required fields and those forms have not changed.

[Incog]

Upon further review, it appears that removing the Phone Number field causes the registration process to break... Even if the phone number is NOT a required option.

 

                    <div class="form-group">
                        <?php
                        $this->Form->label($this->_('Signup.index.field_phone', true), 'phone');
                        $this->Form->fieldHidden('numbers[type][0]', 'phone');
                        $this->Form->fieldHidden('numbers[location][0]', 'work');
                        $this->Form->fieldText('numbers[number][0]', $this->Html->ifSet($vars->numbers['number'][0]), ['id' => 'phone', 'class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => $this->_('Signup.index.field_phone', true)]);
                        ?>
                    </div>

 

I'm still going through and removing things form by form until I can figure out the minimum amount required to get the page to still function properly.... Though I'd prefer that the ones that aren't required not be visible.

 

I'm not planning on calling my customers to tell them happy birthday or mailing them Christmas cards. =]

[Incog]

Okay, I got it stripped down finally to only requesting: First / Last name and email address. Those three fields are hard-coded as default required fields. For some reason you can't remove the Country or Phone fields without it breaking the registration process, though I'm not certain why.

[Jono]

I'd have to look more to see why removing breaks it.  But for now you could add the 'hidden' class to the div containing them.

Ah, hadn't really considered that.

 

For quick reference, it seems that removing the: Phone and the Country fields breaks the order process. I tested with CAPTCHA on, and if you fail the captcha, you get the normal message/warning. If you complete it properly the page just reloads and the "Create Account" button becomes non-clickable.
