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.
