XF 1.1 Changing Registration Page

[petertdavis]

Howdy,
Is there any easy way to remove the Gender, Birthdate, and Time Zone from the registration page?
Thanks

For D.O.B. go to ACP > Options > User Registration - and untick Require Date of Birth and Minimum Age:

The others can been seen/edited in the template "register_form".

Cheers,
Shaun

Yeah although you'd still have to remove DOB from the template, unticking require doesn't remove it from the page.

But yeah, do the above and then just comment it out with <!-- -->

Thanks. So, I've taken this bits out of that template but then it gives me an invalid timezone error when someone registers.

<dl class="ctrlUnit OptOut">
<dt>{xen:phrase date_of_birth}:</dt>
<dd>
<xen:include template="helper_birthday_input">
<xen:map from="$fields" to="$user" />
</xen:include>
<xen:if is="{$dobRequired}"><p class="explain">{xen:phrase your_date_of_birth_is_required}</p></xen:if>
</dd>
</dl>
 
<dl class="ctrlUnit">
<dt>{xen:phrase gender}:</dt>
<dd>
<ul>
<li><label for="ctrl_gender_male"><input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" id="ctrl_gender_male" {xen:checked "{$fields.gender} == 'male'"} /> {xen:phrase male}</label></li>
<li><label for="ctrl_gender_female"><input type="radio" name="gender" value="female" id="ctrl_gender_female" {xen:checked "{$fields.gender} == 'female'"} /> {xen:phrase female}</label></li>
<li><label for="ctrl_gender_"><input type="radio" name="gender" value="" id="ctrl_gender_" {xen:checked "!{$fields.gender}"} /> ({xen:phrase unspecified})</label></li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
 
<xen:include template="custom_fields_edit" />
 
<dl class="ctrlUnit">
<dt><label for="ctrl_timezone">{xen:phrase time_zone}:</label></dt>
<dd>
<select name="timezone" class="textCtrl {xen:if $fields.timezoneAuto, 'AutoTimeZone'} OptOut" id="ctrl_timezone">
<xen:foreach loop="$timeZones" key="$identifier" value="$name">
<option value="{$identifier}" {xen:selected "{$identifier} == {$fields.timezone}"}>{$name}</option>
</xen:foreach>
</select>
</dd>
</dl>

Timezone is auto detected anyway, not really any need to remove it?

Just trying to get unnecessary items off the registration page to see if that raises the conversion rate.

Something they don't have to click/fill out won't change that...
It's fine without DOB and Gender, I did the same

If you need specific instructions for removing gender :

If the time zone is picked up anyway, but you need to keep it in the form for it to submit, why don't you wrap the section for the time zone in a hidden div?

in Register_form find this snippet:

<dl class="ctrlUnit">
        <dt><label for="ctrl_timezone">{xen:phrase time_zone}:</label></dt>
        <dd>
            <select name="timezone" class="textCtrl {xen:if $fields.timezoneAuto, 'AutoTimeZone'} OptOut" id="ctrl_timezone">
                <xen:foreach loop="$timeZones" key="$identifier" value="$name">
                    <option value="{$identifier}" {xen:selected "{$identifier} == {$fields.timezone}"}>{$name}</option>
                </xen:foreach>
            </select>
        </dd>
    </dl>

and replace it with this:

<div style="visibility:hidden;"><dl class="ctrlUnit">
        <dt><label for="ctrl_timezone">{xen:phrase time_zone}:</label></dt>
        <dd>
            <select name="timezone" class="textCtrl {xen:if $fields.timezoneAuto, 'AutoTimeZone'} OptOut" id="ctrl_timezone">
                <xen:foreach loop="$timeZones" key="$identifier" value="$name">
                    <option value="{$identifier}" {xen:selected "{$identifier} == {$fields.timezone}"}>{$name}</option>
                </xen:foreach>
            </select>
        </dd>
    </dl></div>

That seems to do the job for me.

Has anyone implemented these changes and if so, have your conversion rates increased?
