Remove "firstname" and "lastname" fields from checkout and account creation

[DARKF3D3]

Hello, do you know if there's a way to remove those 2 fields.

I want to ask for firstname and last name only ok address section of checkout and not before.

I'm using Prestashop 1.7.4

this is not a native feature and would require custom code by competent developer as this is core data

if you cannot find the code changes yourself, you should not be making the changes, and for this you open pandora's box of changes...it's core, get someone competent that did not mean you lol

We are asking here for some one to help us with the changes, I just need to know where to look because as you can see I am new to Prestashop.

can you first describe why the requirement for this change, this is a very one off requirement so what know why you want to implement this is a good starting point.

I'm in indonesia which most of the people DO NOT have last name, so it will be confusing for most people to fill out a form which they don't have.

for 1.7:

localization-->locations-->countries-->edit country

there you can set the required fields for customer and address

hope that helps

I checked on that page, there I'm able to remove those 2 fields, the problem it's that they will be removed from address.

I need to disable them from registration step only, then on address step the customer should fill these 2 fields.

Things to do, to remove lastfield:

1. Select your country via Back-office (International>Locations>Countries) and remove "lastname":

 

2. Change required to non-required fields in these files:

/app/classes/Address.php
/app/classes/Customer.php

From:

'lastname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 255),

To

'lastname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'size' => 255),  // custom changed

3. Remove Javascript Check:

/app/classes/form/CustomerFormatter.php

        $format['lastname'] = (new FormField())
            ->setName('lastname')
            ->setLabel(
                $this->translator->trans(
                    'Last name',
                    [],
                    'Shop.Forms.Labels'
                )
            )
            ->setRequired(false); // set to false

4. Remove field:

/app/themes/your_theme/templates/_partials/form-fields.tpl

Add condition:

<!-- Hide lastname field, add this condition before -->
{if $field.name!='lastname'}

  <div class="form-group row {if !empty($field.errors)}has-error{/if}">
    <label class="col-md-3 form-control-label{if $field.required} required{/if}">
      {if $field.type !== 'checkbox'}
        {$field.label}
      {/if}
    </label>
    <div class="col-md-6{if ($field.type === 'radio-buttons')} form-control-valign{/if}">
      
  <...>
{/if}

    </label>
    <div class="col-md-6{if ($field.type === 'radio-buttons')} form-control-valign{/if}">
      
  <...>
{/if}

 

after doing these steps, customers are stuck at address step in checkout
