I don't need to work with VAT numbers - how do I remove the field

Hi,

The site I am working on is going to service the Australian market, hence I don't need anything VAT. How can I remove the "VAT Number" field in the "CB fields for first invoicing address of customer" in the back end and in the registration (the second step) in the front end?
Also, there is no "Confirm Order" or "Subscribe" button to step forward at this step. What did I do wrong?

Thank you in advance,
Babi

Only way to remove it is to hide it with CSS or by editing the invoice XML, which is what generates the HTML output. To hide it with CSS you'd use the following.


To edit the XML you'd need to do the following.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbpaidsubscriptions/xml/edit.front.invoice.xml

In that file if you scroll to the bottom you'll see the showinvoicingaddress view. There you'll find and <if XML tag that checks the value of payer_business_name. You'd need to remove that chunk.

Note both methods just remove its display. If it's needed PHP side it'll fail validation.

Also, there is no "Confirm Order" or "Subscribe" button to step forward at this step. What did I do wrong?

There is no such button in the invoice edit display. You need to click Save, which takes you back to your basket. In your basket is where you select your payment method by clicking the payment methods button. If you don't have any payment gateways configured or accessible to the user you won't see any payment methods though.

Thank you very much for your reply Kyle.
I have removed the VAT-related chunk in the xml file, that worked.

Regarding the button... no, I don't have a payment method configured, yet (and I suspected that this could be the problem), but there is no save button, either. Only "Cancel payment and subscription". I've attached the screenshot.
The user gets registered and they appear in the Baskets area - which is logical.

So, if I configure a payment (the dummy), I'll be able to properly test the registration, right?!
This is my first CB Subs site - learning. I appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Correct!

CBSubs displays by default one button per payment method. So zero payment methods means zero buttons

Alternatively, radios for selecting payment method can be displayed. But there too, no methods means no way to pay, thus no selection either.

Create a dummy payment method to see.

Thank you very much Beat.

Just checked - I had a dummy payment set up, but since it was only visible to super users, anyone registering couldn't see it.
Now I made it public, but still don't have a Save button. Please see attached screenshot.
But, if I click on the one of icons to the left of the Cancel payment and subscription link, it takes me to the next window (payment).

What am I missing?

Thank you in advance,

There is no Save button. You need to click one of the payment buttons. The Save button I mentioned is for your invoice address when you're editing it.

Correct, that's expected behavior.
