customizing registration fields for new users in phpbb3

Question

i am new to phpbb. i have a requirement where i need to remove some fields from registration page.(Some are mandatory and some are not). Can anybody please suggest where should i edit in file. i already changed in HTML file styles/themename/templets/ucp_register_original.html . but nothing is affecting the main interface.

<tr>
    <td class="row1"><b class="genmed">{L_LANGUAGE}: </b></td>
    <td class="row2"><select name="lang" onchange="change_language(this.value); return false;">{S_LANG_OPTIONS}</select></td>
</tr>

i have disable this for example but it is still showing.

Answer 1

Apart from the answer given by Damien Keitel. one more and crucial thing you have to do is to delete cache/tpl_prosilver-se_ucp_register.html.php otherwise it will keep on showing the previous fields which you might have deleted.

Answer 2

open

your_phpbb_root_directory/includes/ucp/ucp_register.php

then find any of these

'S_LANG_OPTIONS'    => (sizeof($lang_row) > 1) ? language_select($user_lang) : '',

and replace with this

'S_LANG_OPTIONS'    => '',
