Registration without email field

[karimun]

I want to make the email field optional:
The script should not return an error message when no email was typed.

I tried to make some changes to register.php - without success. Thanks in advance.

comment out or remove this from register.php

Code: [Select]

      $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$field_error = preg_replace("/".$site_template->start."field_name".$site_template->end."/siU", str_replace(":", "", $lang['email']), $lang['field_required']);
      $error = 1;

Internal Server Error ..

I change this piece:

Code: [Select]

    else {
      $msg .= (($msg != "") ? "<br />" : "").$field_error = preg_replace("/".$site_template->start."field_name".$site_template->end."/siU", str_replace(":", "", $lang['email']), $lang['field_required']);
      $error = 1;
    }
to this:

Code: [Select]

else {}
... sorry for my ignorance

ok, remove else {} as well.

Strange things:
I have removed the complete else { .. } part. Now the registration without email is possible (new user appears im my memberlist) but I receive a Internal Server Error right after the submit button is clicked. 

Its a fresh installation so there should be no conflicts with other Mods in register.php.

if its internal server error, without seeing the error logs there is no way to guess what could be wrong.

Ok V@no,
I will ask my host whether I can have access to it.
