Thread: All customers default to 'yes' to 'Ok To Email'

When new customers are creating an account, there is an option asking if it is 'OK to Email?'. Is it possible to default that to 'yes' and make it so the customer cannot change this?

Sure...but you'll need to modify the createaccount.aspx/createaccount.aspx.cs(.vb) and account.aspx/account.aspx.cs(.vb) files to remove the option that the customer selects and pass the correct value to the methods updating or creating the customer account.

Thanks for the reply!

Currently, this option defaults to 'no'. Can you point me in the direction of what controls that default selection so that I can change it to 'Yes'?

I had a look through createaccount.aspx and createaccount.aspx.cs (I cannot locate createaccount.aspx.vb) and cannot figure this out myself. I have a feeling I am going to have to learn a lot more about visual basic to be able to make this customization.

If anyone could point me at a particular sting(s) that I should look for, what would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Open the createaccount.aspx.cs file.

from InitializePageContent() method, find these lines below and comment it out.

Code:

OKToEMailYes.Checked = (ThisCustomer.EMail.Length != 0);
OKToEMailNo.Checked = !OKToEMailYes.Checked;

and add this below that line:

Code:

OKToEMailYes.Checked = true;

Somehow, my commenting is incorrect. Did I misunderstand your directions? I recieve this message when a user attempts to register as a new customer:

That's incorrect, yes. Do it like this.

Code:

//OKToEMailYes.Checked = (ThisCustomer.EMail.Length != 0);
//OKToEMailNo.Checked = !OKToEMailYes.Checked;

That takes care of that!

Thanks for the help.
