Registration Form : text before it

Hi,
is it possible to display a text (explanations for custom fields) before the Registration Form ?
Does it have to be done modifying Hikashop php files ?
Would it be lost after an Hikshop update ?

Thanks
Regards

Hi,

You can do that by creating a custom field of the type "custom text" via the menu Display>Custom fields.
It won't require any code modifications and won't be lost when you update.
I recommend that you use the 1.5.5 version for custom text custom fields as there were some bugs with it in previous versions.

Good idea, but I would like to give explanations before the form, or before Joomla Name field, with templating possibilities.

1) could it be possible to include this form in an article (ie with a plugin ?) ?

2) otherwithe, which file should I modify, with a hard-coding text ?

Regards

In that case, you should edit the file "registration" of the view "user" via the menu Display->Views. You can add your text directly at the beginning.
That won't be lost during updates too as this view edition interface is compatible with the override system of Joomla and the modifications will be stored in your template's html folder.

Great !
I start to understand your templating system. Brillant !

But now I have a strange problem. When I click on Save, my registration.php returns to original !
If I edit it directly with FTP in my html's template folder, the font-end display is OK.
But...
When I edit the file again through Hikashop, I see my FTP modifications --> Fine
But, if I modify it again through Hikashop, when I click on Save, it returns to the FTP version !!!

Any clue ?
Thanks. Regards

Hika 1.5.4

That can happen sometimes before of the code mirror editor used by the view edition system.
You can disable that code mirror plugin in the plugins manager and try again. That might help avoid the problem.

Hi, Nicolas,
if this can help, CodeMirror works perfectly on my production site (Linux) and has to be disabled on my local test site based on UWamp (Windows).

Before closing the subject, I have a complementary question :
When a user is not registered, adding something to cart brings to a Registration page.
This page has 2 areas : on the left the one for registered users and on the right, the one for new users.

1) what .php file is used for the left area ?
2) how to display a text before these 2 areas ?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

1. It's the file "login_form" of the view "checkout".

2. You can add your text near the beginning of the file "login" of the view "checkout".
