[SOLVED] How to change: Recquired Phone Field must be Numeric

[Adria Laxson]

Customer account setup: I've changed my fields and made the mobile phone field a sales tax permit field. It's still set up as a numeric number which has worked until recently. Now I have customers with Alphanumeric sales tax numbers and they can't enter the letters. How can I take the restrictions off the phone field? It still needs to be required.

You will need to change the phone number validation code on lines 4[spam-filter]494 of classes/Validate.php (in PrestaShop v1.3.2):

static public function isPhoneNumber($phoneNumber)
{
   return preg_match('/^[+0-9. ()-]*$/ui', $phoneNumber);
}

For example, to allow a-z to be entered, change line 493 to:

return preg_match('/^[+a-z0-9. ()-]*$/ui', $phoneNumber);

Thank you very much. It works now.
