[SOLVED] Removing last name in registration in 1.5

[blessmeluck]

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.

 

How can i remove the last name or maybe make it not a "required field".

 

Thanks for helping

 

I'm using 1.5.6

Sorry, i though it is done but there's still error report pop up.

 

The lastname column is indeed disappear in "address form", but still have it in "your information form" and when i tried to fill every form and submit, the error msg pop up and say "lastname is required"

[vekia]

classes/Customers.php

 

there is code:
 

'lastname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 32),

change it to

'lastname' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'validate' => 'isName', 'size' => 32),

Done that, but still wont work.. the lastname still required. and also at the above form (your information) still has the lastname column

[gonebdg - webindoshop.com]

field lastname also required field for Address

So you should modify file ../clasess/Address.php too

Done, thanks everybody..

[vekia]

thank you for information that it works now

i missed address class, nice catch gonebdg

Hello,

 

I was trying to get rid of the last name and first name fields in user registration. To do so I followed vekia's post. But after setting those two fields to not required I get the error: An error occurred while creating your account.

 

I've changed the code in both Address.php and Customer.php

 

Any ideas why I get the error?

 

[vekia]

what error code you've got exactly?

[shniurs]

Well it just says An error occurred while creating your account. and that's it. It is shown in the same error field as other errors when some required fields are missing.

[shniurs]

what error code you've got exactly?

 

vekia - any thoughts on this issue?

[webspilka]

Can you tell what to do to make this work in PrestaShop 1.6?

I create topic for 1.6 http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/359608-removing-last-name-in-registration-in-1609/

Hi, 

 

Could I do like that with Presta 1.7.3?

 

Tks

Hi!

To make field lastname optional in 1.7.5 these steps were helpfull for me:

- in DB switch ps_customer into Null type

  alter table ps_customer modify lastname varchar(255) null; (don`t forget to change prefix)

- CustomerFormatter: lastname setRequired: false

- Customers.php: remove "'required' => true" for 'lastname' as Vekia wrote above

- Address.php: 'required' => false for lastname

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

-  OrderDetailController.php: commented 

'{lastname}' => $customer->lastname,

- AddressFormat.php:

public static $requireFormFieldsList = array(
        'firstname',
//        'lastname',
        'address1',
        'city',
        'Country:name',
    );

- it is better to make all modifications through overrides

- clear cache

I know that here it is already marked as resolved and it is an old topic, but I followed all the process, in the address the surname is no longer mandatory, but on the identity page it is still mandatory, I have already changed costumer.php, but nothing, the bank data is also marked as null
