Admin – How to Remove Field in Customer Account Information

admincustomer

I am trying to remove the Associate to Website field on the following page:

Customers -> Manage Customers -> Click on a customer -> Account Information

I have checked Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Customer_Edit_Tab_Account::initForm() in this file:

app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Customer/Edit/Tab/Account.php

but I am unsure how it loads the fields and how to remove a field.

The fastest solution is in the file that you mentioned - app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Customer/Edit/Tab/Account.php in public function initForm() to comment/remove this lines:

$renderer = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('adminhtml/store_switcher_form_renderer_fieldset_element');
$form->getElement('website_id')->setRenderer($renderer);

and below them to add:

$fieldset->removeField('website_id');

Magento – Admin Manage Customers – not showing Customer Information

There is an error in the page that prevents it from rendering. If you look int he page source you will see that it doesn't end with </html>. If you have error reporting activated then you should see the error in the source. The last line should be something like this: Fatal Error: ..... This should give you an idea of the issue.

If you don't see the error message, edit index.php and uncomment this line:

#ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Remove the '#' sign. and try again.

You might also want to enable the developer mode until you figure out the problem. Replace in the same index.php file this:

if (isset($_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE'])) {
    Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
}

with this:

//if (isset($_SERVER['MAGE_IS_DEVELOPER_MODE'])) {
    Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true);
//}

Comment the if statement.

If the error message does not give you an idea on the problem edit the question and add the message. (this is in the answer section because it's too long to be a comment).

Magento – Source model “customer/source_option” not found for attribute “customeractivate”

Based on the comments the error occurs because the source model of the attribute is placed in the wrong folder.
It should be Mage_Customer_Model_Group_Collection instead of Mage_Customer_Model_Resource_Group_Collection
