SOLVED !!! Mandatory address field

Hi,

I tried to make the address field not mandatory in the back end by commenting out these code in /components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/propertyedit.php but it's still mandatory and I can't save it without it. What else needs to be done to not have the address as a mandatory field?

Thanks,
Dragan

I would also like to make the address field not be mandatory and I tried what Dragan suggested with the same results. I am sure that it is not only the 2 of us who would like to be able to do this so if you could please explain here in the forum all of the steps involved in making the address field not mandatory it would be very helpful.

Hi Nina,
Can you please submit ticket and send your site information with super admin acc, ftp acc. I will check the issue for you
Thanks

It would be much better if you could explain in the forum how to make this change so that anyone who wants to do this doesn't have to give you access to their admin and ftp and then we hear no more about it in the forum. I doubt this is an issue specific to my (and Dragan's) installation. Isn't it possible for you to do this?

Hi Nina,
I can't explain clearer, because all you need is implementing the modification i listed above.
Thanks

Okay. I will submit a support ticket.

Ok, my staff will check it soon.
Thanks

In order help others who may want to make the address a non-mandatory field I am letting everyone know that it turns out not only do you have to comment out the two lines in components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/propertyedit.php but you also have to comment out those same lines in administrator/components/com_osproperty/classes/property.html.php.

Here are the lines commented out:
// $require_field .= "address,";
// $require_label .= JText::_('OS_ADDRESS').",";

You will also want to comment out or remove the * and (*) respectively a couple lines above those lines so that it doesn't still look like the field is mandatory.

I have just discovered that the agent registration also has the address as a mandatory field. Since the way to remove the required fields on the properties was to comment out lines in components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/propertyedit.php I thought that I would find the same thing to be true in components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/agentregistration.php but that is not the case.

Can you please tell me where I can remove the mandatory address field in agent registration?
