Make account fields NOT required from Admin console?

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="telephone" value="<?php echo $telephone; ?>" />

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="telephone" value="00000000" />

Code: Select all

 		if (isset($this->error['firstname'])) {
			$this->data['error_firstname'] = $this->error['firstname'];
		} else {
			$this->data['error_firstname'] = '';
		}

Code: Select all

     	if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['firstname']) < 1) || (utf8_strlen($this->request->post['firstname']) > 32)) {
      		$this->error['firstname'] = $this->language->get('error_firstname');
    	}
[code] 

(if you want you could also delete the calls to the error wording in the language files and delete it from the language files.
