Registration form problems

Hi,

I am having some trouble with customising the registration/login form.

www.run9s.com/

I have the login for in the side menu. If you click the create an account link it goes to a very badly designed form. I would like to have this link go to the page with the login and registration form on the same page.

I have created a menu item pointing to registration form for the shop but again the layout is not good. I have managed to space the registration boxes better but cant see where to change the address section.

If you add something to the cart and then click the shopping cart, you will be taken to the registration page, you will see what I mean.

Also if something is added to the cart and then you register the contents of the cart is lost.

I hope you can help.

Thanks

1. The "create an account" link of the joomla login module can be change in the joomla login module file: modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php

2.You can change the address section via the menu Display->Custom fields

3.I don't see what you mean

4. Please make sure that the hikashopuser system plugin is published in your joomla plugins manager.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have updated the create an account link now. If you click on the create an account link below the login box you are taken to the registration form page. You will see that the bottom section of the form is ADDRESS INFORMATION. The boxes are very squashed together and need spacing like the top section. Also there is no border or background colour.

The picture above is what the form looks like if you go to checkout without registering or logining in.

This picture is what the registration form looks like.

Hi,

The only plugin I can find is HikaShop joomla user account link plugin.

Thanks

This is a picture of registering with something in your basket

This is after activating the account. You will see the basket has been emptied

Hi,

I have sorted out the box spacing now.

The fieldset around the registration form is indeed only on the checkout registration view. If you need it on the normal registration page, you can add it in the file form of the view user of the front end via the menu Display->Views.
Since you don't have the hikashopuser system plugin, I would recommend you to install the latest version of HikaShop and that should solve the cart being empty after activation.

Hi thanks for the reply. I only downloaded it and installed it today so I assume this is the latest version.

I have tried to edit the user registration.php file through the front end, but it will not let me change the file. It will not save the changes.

If I pm you the login details can you please have a look.

THANKS

It's the latest version, but that is installed automatically when HikaShop installs. If you don't have it, there is only two possible explanations:
1. you removed it
2. the install didn't work properly
In both cases, reinstalling HikaShop should solve the problem.

Why are you trying to edit the registration.php file ? I told you to edit the file 'form' of the view 'user' of the front end via the menu Display->Views. What error message do you have ?

Hi,

I tried to edit the file through the frontend as per your instructions but again it would not save the changes. There is no error message it just reverts back to the way it was before the edit. Anyway I have edited the file "front/views/user/tmpl/form.php manually and it is working.

I did a re-install but its still the same. I have checked for hikashopuser plugin but its still not there. Can it be manually installed.

Sorry to be a pain about this.

Thanks

If the saving of the templates override doesn't work, it's probably because joomla can't write the files in the folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop become of the way the permissions are setup in that folder (or the parent folder). Correcting the permissions should solve the problem.

Could you filter the joomla plugins listing by the group "system" and do a screenshot of that listing ?
You can install it by hand yes. In the hikashop install package, in the folder back/extensions, you have a folder plg_system_hikashopuser. If you zip it and install it via the joomla installer, that will install the plugin.

Hi,

I have installed it now and all working fine. Screen shot below before installation.

Thankyou very much for the great support and fast replies.
