Hi,

This is one of those things which should be really easy if you knew exactly what you were doing, but I don't!

I want to make the telephone field on the contact form not required, how can I do this?

Thanks for any help.

Do you mean so you don't have to enter one?

No I want people to be able to add their phone number if they want to but not have it compulsory.

Thanks

Do you mean when a customer registers an account, you don't want it to be required that they need to give you a telephone number?

If so:

In:

Code: Select all

catalog/view/theme/YOURTHEME/template/account/create.tpl
Find:

Code: Select all

          <tr>
            <td><span class="required">*</span> <?php echo $entry_telephone; ?></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="telephone" value="<?php echo $telephone; ?>" />
              <?php if ($error_telephone) { ?>
              <span class="error"><?php echo $error_telephone; ?></span>
              <?php } ?></td>
          </tr>
Replace with:

Code: Select all

          <tr>
            <td><?php echo $entry_telephone; ?></td>
            <td><input type="text" name="telephone" value="<?php echo $telephone; ?>" /></td>
          </tr>
Then...
In:

Code: Select all

catalog/controller/account/create.php
Find:

Code: Select all

        if (isset($this->error['telephone'])) {
            $this->data['error_telephone'] = $this->error['telephone'];
        } else {
            $this->data['error_telephone'] = '';
        } 
and DELETE it.

Then....
Find:

Code: Select all

        if ((strlen(utf8_decode($this->request->post['telephone'])) < 3) || (strlen(utf8_decode($this->request->post['telephone'])) > 32)) {
              $this->error['telephone'] = $this->language->get('error_telephone');
        } 
and DELETE it.

That should do it.

You forgot to do this for the edit account pages and the guest_step_1 checkout pages

basically repeat those steps for those pages. note your coding might not be exact but just search for TELE and you should find what you need.
