Remove second password field on registration

I’d like to remove the second password field on the paypal registration form. I’ve copied the php file to my theme folder to make the modifications, but I see there is javascript validation coming from s2member.js checking that the passwords match. Will I have to modify the javascript file to make this work or can I hook into the form some how, if so what would an example be?

Thanks

Yes. You’ll need to edit the JavaScript file here to accomplish this:

/s2member/includes/s2member-min.js

Which is a minimized version of this file:

/s2member/includes/s2member.js

I believe you’re looking for this section of the code, on line 85 in the un-minimized file:

else if ($.trim ($password1.val ()) && $.trim ($password1.val ()) !== $.trim ($password2.val ()))
							{
								alert('<?php echo c_ws_plugin__s2member_utils_strings::esc_js_sq (_x ("— Oops, you missed something: —", "s2member-front", "s2member")); ?>' + '\n\n' + '<?php echo c_ws_plugin__s2member_utils_strings::esc_js_sq (_x ("Passwords do not match up. Please try again.", "s2member-front", "s2member")); ?>');

								return false;
							}

That’s about as far as we can go with custom code. If you need further assistance, we recommend http://jobs.wordpress.net, or another freelance web site where WordPress® experts are offering their expertise through a bid on your project.

Thanks Bruce, I figured i’d have to re-minify the file. Is there a best practice when modifying the js file, any way to override it? Or will I have to just keep track of changes before future updates?

You can minify the file using this tool, or you can simply change the name of the file to s2member-min.js:
