Registration page of opencart - php

Question

I want to edit my register.tpl file of registration process of my opencart page.
I just want to keep the email, password and confirm password fields. When I remove all other fields including first name, last name, address etc and only leave in email, password and confirm password fields, it stops registration. How can I make it continue registration with only 3 fields and also agree to the terms check box I have to keep.
This is the register.tpl file

Answer 1

Go to catalog/controller/account/register.php (controller) and into the function validate(). Remove the unnecessary fields. Then remove the fields from your tpl. In this way, you will be able to proceed with only three fields.
