no email address required

[zoobie]

Nothing on the search...so, is there a way to eliminate the registering user having to fill in their email...yet allow a registered user to email cards and pics? Any info helpful...Thanks

haven't tested this in detail, but it should suffice if you edit register.php and comment out

Code Select Expand

if (!eregi("^[_\.0-9a-z\-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$", $email)) $error .= '<li>' . $lang_register_php['err_invalid_email'];GauGau

also in register.php: find

Code Select Expand

array('input', 'email', $lang_register_php['email'], 255),and replace it with

Code Select Expand

//array('input', 'email', $lang_register_php['email'], 255),GauGau

I'm getting a critical error:
"Script called without the required parameter(s). (email)"
Thanks

try putting in something like

Code Select Expand

print '<input type="hidden"  name="email" value="" />';
If this doesn't work you're on your own; I won't make up my mind in detail on this, as I find it a very silly idea to remove the email address field in the first place. If your users don't like filling in their correct email, let them just fill in foo@bar.com, it's not to much to ask in my opinion.

Thanks...Works like a charm.  
I had to change the config settings to "accept 2 duplicate email addresses" but it takes more than two, thankfully. I took out another form field, also. Granted, you're probably right...but I wanted super-simple registration this time. You know that feeling when you're asked for your email and you think "Oh no...Not more spam."? Well, in this case, I just took that bad feeling away.
Thanks again :!:
