changing requied fields

[vakil]

Hi,

when adding a site a category. The fields Contact Name and Email are required fields. I would like to make these fields optional. Any idea how?

Close line 95-96 in add.php like this :

 //elseif(empty($contact_name)) $error_msg = $msg["10104"];
//elseif(empty($email)) $error_msg = $msg["10105"];

Hi,

thank you its working

I think line 97 should also be commented.

I'm having a problem now,

the link gets added to the category without approval of admin or editor.

i've commented line 97 because it validates the email field when there is no email

[vakil]

I don't know what's happening,

even when I remove the comments the link gets added with out approval of admin or editor.

[vakil]

oh shoot!

my mistake. For that category I had chosen the pref. to add links with editor approval.

sorry!

I see the codes but what next, what do I do or edit it to make the contact name and email address optional when posting a listing??

it's an old thread. However in 5.4.0, it's line 224-227, put the red codes below

 /*elseif (empty($contact_name))
      $error_msg = $msg["10104"];
    elseif (empty($email))
      $error_msg = $msg["10105"];*/

Dody, I changed it, but now when submitting the list I get a red warning on top: Invalid email address pattern
