How can I remove a form field in opencart 2.0 checkout/registration page?

Question

I am trying to remove some fields from opencart 2.0x checkout and registration page, like fax, postal code. I can't seem to find the right extension so I'd like to go editing from the code level.

Can anyone guide me to a starting point?

Answer 1

1. Search for the field in account/register.tpl and delete it.
2. If the field is mandatory, you will also have to search for it in register controller and delete its validation from validate() function.

Answer 2

You can make new file

remove-fields.ocmod.xml

and put this code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<name>Remove Field From Checkout Page</name>
