Email address already used

HikaShop Business: 2.3.0

Hi,

I tested my site all the time using my own email address. I have also seen that this error can be removed.

Can I get the code and where to edit so that I can re-use email addresses?

Thanks,

Mat

Hi,

What do you mean by "re-use email addresses" ?
When checking out, you want that customer can re-order with an already used email address ?

If it is, the checkout must be set as Guest checkout, and then customers can order many times with the same email address.
But the addresses already registered cannot be re-used.
To remove the message when an already registered email address is used, you will have to edit the file "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/user.php", function "register()", code:

That's fine - most of our users don't want to log in to the site.

OK everything is almost working again.

In my template I put the logged in user name on the screen however after using the checkout it seems to be able to display the name of the user without them actually logging in.

It must be a joomla thing I don't understand but I also don't want this to occur. How can I fix this?

Hi,

The guest checkout does not allow you to be used with an address which already have a Joomla account.
Bypassing this rule will generate bad side effects.

Regards,

I need to have people buy from the cart without registering in any fashion please.

Code:

if(@$userInDB->user_cms_id){ JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_('EMAIL_ADDRESS_ALREADY_USED')); return false; }

But the addresses already registered cannot be re-used. (I need a fix for this please.) Why not let people just reenter their information if that is what they want.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem here. My old website used Virtuemart and I imported all clients (more than 4000). To make life easier I didn't use Joomla registration with Virtuemart. A returning customer had to go through the address fields over again. It was no problem in Virtuemart to use the same mail address over and over again.
Now I imported all orders from Virtuemart to HikaShop and none of my returning customers can use their mail addresses to place an order.
What to do? It looks like I have to delete all old Virtuemart orders and start from scratch. I really don't want to do that!

Hi,

Removing the previously given code should allow to re-use the same email address.

Yes but it does do some wierd stuff and makes it look like I am logged in but I'm not.

Hi Rokell,

The error occured only when you want to make a new order in guest checkout and the Joomla user with the exact email address already exists.
It has no impact with the order you imported from Virtuemart.

Hi Mat,

If you use a Joomla account, you can log-in.
If you use a guest account, you can't log-in ; there is no password.
So, I have trouble to understand the problem you got.
