simplified registration: uses first part of email?

-- HikaShop version -- : latest
-- Joomla version -- : latest

Hello,

I was wondering if the "simplified registration" method uses the first part of the user email (before @)
to generate the username, or instead the full email.

I have the free edition so I can't check this out, and it's very important for me
because if the username generated is the full email, than all the users emails will be visible on my forum :ohmy:

Thank you

Hi,

It uses the full email address for the username.
It can however be changed quite easily by changing the line:
$this->registerData->username = $this->registerData->email;
to:
$this->registerData->username = substr($this->registerData->email,0,strpos($this->registerData->email,'@'));
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/user.php
