Edit "account_create"

[Jacob]

I would like change the login form, where do I do this and would this cause any problems? I looked in administration but didn't see any option for this.


Not Mandatory
Telephone

Make Mandatory
Post code


Thanks

Assume by login you mean "account_create"

EDIT: catalog/controller/account_create.php
FIND (Line 188):

Code: Select all

       if ((strlen($request->gethtml('telephone', 'post')) < 3) || (strlen($request->gethtml('telephone', 'post')) > 32)) {
            $this->error['telephone'] = $language->get('error_telephone');
       }


REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

       if ((strlen($request->gethtml('[color=red]postcode[/color]', 'post')) < 3) || (strlen($request->gethtml('[color=red]postcode[/color]', 'post')) > [color=red]10[/color])) {
            $this->error['[color=red]postcode[/color]'] = $language->get('error_[color=red]postcode[/color]');
       }


EDIT: catalog/langauge/english/controller/account_create.php
FIND:

Code: Select all

$_['error_telephone']      = '* Telephone must be greater than 3 and less than 32 characters!';

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

$_['error_[color=red]postcode[/color]']      = '* [color=red]Postcode[/color] must be at least 3 and less than 10 characters!';

EDIT: catalog/template/default/content/account_create.tpl
FIND:

Code: Select all

<td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_telephone; ?></td>

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

<td><?php echo $entry_telephone; ?></td>

FIND:

Code: Select all

<td><?php echo $entry_postcode; ?></td>

REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

<td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_postcode; ?></td>

Yes,  "account_create" I am so careless, or maybe I am tired?

Thank you so much that is a great help.

Your guide explains how to edit account_creating. So to keep continuity throughout the site I would also need to edit:

account_address
account_edit
checkout_address

in these files:
catalog/controller/file_name.php
catalog/langauge/english/controller/file_name.php
catalog/template/default/content/file_name.tpl

If that is correct then maybe I could post the edits I do to be checked over?

account_edit yes
but account_address and checkout_address don't have validation on phone, unless you just want to add validation on postcode, then yes

I have done no further edits other than the first guided edit. I tried to create a new account using different details and got message:

'If you already have an account with us, please login at the login page.'

[Jacob]

Actually what am I talking about? I tried to get rid of:

City
Country
Company
fax
region/state

Please see attachments for my edits.

Confirmation, I  undid my attempts and your code is good  so my further edits are to blame for:

'If you already have an account with us, please login at the login page.'

Any chance someone could have a look through the atachments above to see where I am going wrong
