Hello

Email is needed for Joomla to create user account, also, to send email to subscriber when they subscribe, when they need to renew subscription..., so it could not be optional

We do not need the members to have a Joomla user account.
To email them only if they put in their email address.
Is there a way to work around this?

It is because the code is implemented with email as a required field for the system to work. I will see if there is a way to make it optional for you, but I'm afraid of it will require modify code in different places in the extension

Hi

Please try to look at the file components/com_osmembership/model/register.php , modify this line of code at line 414:

Code:

$errors = array_merge($errors, $this->validateEmail($email, $createUserAccount));

To

Code:

if ($email) {
$errors = array_merge($errors, $this->validateEmail($email, $createUserAccount));
}

Then check to see if it works

Tuan

The downside is that change will be lost when you update to future releases of Membership Pro. Maybe you can try the following solution :

1. Revert the change you made

2. Get this file, unzip it, upload the received file to components/com_osmembership/model/override folder, then check to see if it works

Tuan
