Remove required e-mail when register

[Zenny_]

Hey forum,

 

I want to remove the requirement to enter e-mail address when i create a new customer in the backend. I tried changing required from true to false in classes/customer.php, but didn't work for me.

I am new to Prestashop, but have basic php knowledge.

 

All suggestions are highly appreciated!

Hey guys, i could really use some assistance on this issue :-) Any ideas are very welcome.

The email address is the username the customer will use when they return to log into the store.  You cannot simply remove the requirement.

Arh okay, thank you. 

 

Is it possible to not send any e-mails whatsoever, to the customer mail? So i make a workaround :-)

depending on your version of Prestashop, you can disable emails in your back office, it is a config setting

 

otherwise you can edit the Mail class and prevent mails from being sent.

Thank you so much for your input. It is greatly appreciated!

I disabled all e-mails in backend as you suggested. In Orders -> Statuses.

 

But i couldn't disable the order confirmation, so i went to classes/PaymentModule.php and commented these lines out:

if (Validate::isEmail($this->context->customer->email))
							Mail::Send(
								(int)$order->id_lang,
								'order_conf',
								Mail::l('Order confirmation', (int)$order->id_lang),
								$data,
								$this->context->customer->email,
								$this->context->customer->firstname.' '.$this->context->customer->lastname,
								null,
								null,
								$file_attachement,
								null, _PS_MAIL_DIR_, false, (int)$order->id_shop
							);

Now it doesn't send any mails out to the customer, so i can send my own invoice.
