Ps 1.7.8 Mandatory telephone number only for new customers

[@diegofrancesco]

Hello,

I know how to make the phone number mandatory, but I need to do it only for new customers. If I activate the checkbox to make it mandatory in Prestashop 1.7.8.9 I noticed that those who are already customers receive an error message during checkout because the address is incomplete (when the telephone number is missing), and this is a problem.

In the previous version of the site, Prestashop 1.7.2.4, I had made the telephone field mandatory, but old customers who had not entered it did not receive an error. I don't remember making any changes to the code in that case.

Thanks in advance to anyone who will help.

You'll need to script something together where you check an ID (if existent than false).

I think you need to make changes in Validate class there is isPhoneNumber() function that checks is phone number correct. You can try add there statement checking if customer is logged or not and then use validation or not.

Maybe you need to also make changes in form-fields.tpl in your theme.
