I am setting up the guest book to look more like a directory. I added all of the below to the Entry fields area and updated the sign up template and well main template. I have also added the new list to the language set.
First_Name Last_Name Address City state Zip_Code Phone Email
The problem I am now having is that I deleted the commits and the original name fields as well as the IM fields. I really only want the above to show up on the page.
When testing the new form I get a feedback stating “You have not completed all of the required fields.”
How do I turn off the required fields requirement?
Thank you for the tip and the reply but when you click into the manage settings it doesn't have a way to turn the required fields off. Only change them. Am I missing something? I will check out the other programs your suggestion for the directory.
I guess I need to clarify the project. I did say directory but what I should have said was I am trying to create a way that people can post their contact information on a page in a nonprofit environmental website. So I guess that the term should be membership roster rather then directory.
I took a look at WSN Links and WSN Knowledge Base and I don’t think that is what I am looking for.
I did try to change the settings in the manage settings area under Entries to email instead of name. Now after you fill out the form it goes to a page that states: Thank you for signing our group list but when you go back to the main page you see “0 entries”.
I am not sure what to do now. I would appreciate any help you can provide me.

Required fields are under 'manage settings' in the admin panel.
If you want it to look like a directory, why not just use a directory script? WSN Links is several years more up to date, as is WSN Knowledge Base.

Like with all multi-selectors, ctrl+click deselects an option.

Thanks for the reply. ctrl+click did just fine but the posts are still not showing up on the page when you fill out the form.
Thanks anyway.
