Editing One Page Checkout required form fields

[runtime123]

HI there

 

I am trying to change the "required" option on my one page checkout form fields in Presta Shop

 

I think I have found the file in which to do so?

 

"order-opc-new-account.tpl" - in my themes folder.    

 

___________________________________________________

 

I have removed the asterisk (*) from the field labels, "First Name" and "Last name" however the fields still remain as "required" - even with the (*) removed ?

 

Please can you assist me in changing the code so that these fields are NOT required. 

 

thank you

<div class="required form-group">
<label for="firstname">{l s='First name'} <sup></sup></label>
<input type="text" class="text form-control validate" id="customer_firstname" name="customer_firstname" onblur="$('#firstname').val($(this).val());" data-validate="isName" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && isset($guestInformations.customer_firstname) && $guestInformations.customer_firstname}{$guestInformations.customer_firstname}{/if}" />
</div>
<div class="required form-group">
<label for="lastname">{l s='Last name'} <sup></sup></label>
<input type="text" class="form-control validate" id="customer_lastname" name="customer_lastname" onblur="$('#lastname').val($(this).val());" data-validate="isName" value="{if isset($guestInformations) && isset($guestInformations.customer_lastname) && $guestInformations.customer_lastname}{$guestInformations.customer_lastname}{/if}" />
</div>

While of course a solution to this problem exists, I cannot help but wonder why you would not want to know the name and surname of your customers (if anything, if you're not interested in that information, you could delete the fields altogether). The sole thing I came up with is that you are looking to offer something similar to a guest checkout, which is already a feature in the default PrestaShop installation.

 

Are you sure what you're asking is actually the behaviour you are looking for?

I have these same fields (required) within my "instant checkout form"

 

My client would like as few fields to be "required" as possible.   The fields still need to remain on the form, however they must not be "required"

 

 

Please kindly see screenshot

HI Runtime123,

 

I think you have to remove the "validate" class from the "input" fields.

thank you Sergi254 - would I replace it with another class ? or just remove the word validate from the class name?

The format can depend upon your theme but in general you have to remove the required/is_required classes or attributes applied on the fields. Just compare the required and non-required fields in your existing form and judge the difference.
