I need to disable validation for few customer address fields in customer/account/create/ (but only on this page).

Seems like I've messed up with names and can't find out how to fix my code. Folder structure:

Mycompany |__Mymodule |__controllers |__Customer |__AccountController.php etc |__config.xml Model |__Customer |__Address.php |__Customer.php

config.xml

... <global> <rewrite> <mycompany_mymodule_customer_account_create> <from><![CDATA[#^/customer/account/create/$#]]></from> <to>/mymodule/customer_account/create</to> </mycompany_mymodule_customer_account_create> <excellence_address_customer_account_createPost> <from><![CDATA[#^/customer/account/createPost/$#]]></from> <to>/mymodule/customer_account/createPost</to> </mycompany_mymodule_customer_account_createPost> </rewrite> <models> <customer> <rewrite> <customer>Mycompany_Mymodule_Model_Customer_Customer</customer> <address>Mycompany_Mymodule_Model_Customer_Address</address> </rewrite> </customer> ... etc

The validate() function will be overridden in Address.php

public function validate() { // my validation }

By filling form under customer/account/create/, even if I've removed 'required' class in form and removed in customer_register_address customer_form_attribute for every attribute_id I don't need @ registration page (e.g. street, city etc.), I still got validation warning message:

Please enter the street. Please enter the city. etc

So this is true for Magento 1.9 but I am not sure about the others.

  1. These attributes will be set as required on the table eav_attribute so what you can do here is create a setup script that updates the attributes so that they are not required.
  2. Perform a rewrite of the model Mage_Customer_Model_Address and rewrite the function _basicCheck. Then include or only the validation that your required. For versions 1.8 and lower you will need to rewrite the function validate.

If you see a VarienForm() being run on the page somewhere, it will instantiate the Prototype validation. It is usually in the format var foobar = new VarienForm('foobar-form'); where <form id="foobar-form"...

It should be safe to comment out this function being called if you want to create your own with your own Javascript validation.

  • I still want to validate Phone number there. That's why I said "few fields". Actually I'd like to override Mage/Customer/Model/Adress/Abstract.php function validate() where you got these fields: if (!Zend_Validate::is($this->getCity(), 'NotEmpty')) { $errors[] = $helper->__('Please enter the city.'); } Commented Oct 31, 2013 at 9:09

For client side only, simply remove class "required-entry" from input element that you don't want any Javascript form validation.

With input validation:

<input id="firstname" class="input-text required-entry" type="text" maxlength="255" title="First Name" value="" name="firstname"></input>

Without:

<input id="firstname" class="input-text" type="text" maxlength="255" title="First Name" value="" name="firstname"></input>

    this won't work because the address is validated server side also. Commented Nov 8, 2013 at 11:36
