Help making Telephone number NOT mandatory

[footybits]

Hi, I dont want people to have to enter their telephone numbers on account set up but I am having trouble changing the mandatory field in account set up, I have searched the forums and followed the steps in the manual and eventually got to the correct file but cant find the appropriate lines of texts to edit. I've pasted the entire code below and was hoping someone could tell me which lines I need to change ?????

Admin<Configuration<Minimum Values<Telephone Number

Set to Zero (0)

[footybits]

Hi, thanks for the reply, its much appreciated. However, Ive done that and although it now allows users to set an account without entering a telephone number it is still showing as a mandatory field, i.e, its got a red star next to it. So although the system doesnt actually need it the customer does still think they have to add it. I guess the question is ... how do I get rid of the red star ?

[jpf]

in the template

find:

<td><table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('telephone') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER; ?></td>
<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('fax') . ' ' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?></td>
</tr>
</table></td>


change/remove the class="inputRequirement" might do the trick....

For anyone else looking for help on this
\includes\form_check.js.php handles form checking.

Simply REM out the Telephone Number Validation. To remove the Red Asterisk from the account creation page simply edit

\create_account.php and edit this part

<?php echo tep_draw_input_field('telephone') . '&nbsp;' . (tep_not_null(ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT) ? '<span class="inputRequirement">' . ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

to read

<?php echo tep_draw_input_field('telephone'); ?>
