remove Email format verification in magento 1.9 during user registration

[taare]

Hello all, I want user to provide mobile no. instead of email address in the email field. But due to backend validation of email format its not accepting any string value without "@" and ".com"

I have removed email verification from validation.js. What more needs to be done?

Hi Taare,

Let’s create our javascript file and place it in the js folder.
js/custom.js

Validation.add('validate-email', 'Please enter a valid Gmail address. For example johndoe@gmail.com.', function(v) {
// here write your logic
});

All we need to do now is include our validation script. We’ll do that using Magento’s addJs method which will add the javascript file to our website’s head.

<default>
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addJs"><script>custom.js</script></action>
    </reference>
</default>

 You can do this from any layout file (preferably your module’s layout file), Magento did it in their theme’s layout page called page.xml located in app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/page.xml
