Registration

I didn't want to have a login form, so I went through some of the past threads and found out how to delete it. However, I still need some sort of form where people can enter their name, email, phone number, address, city, and state. At the moment, I have a button that says "Billing Address New", but it doesn't lead anywhere. I've been trying to replace that button with a form, but I have no idea how to put that form in. Here's the site:

Thank you for your help!

You can use the login view for that. You will be able to hide the login form on the left by adding one line of CSS in the hikashop CSS that you can edit in the config under the tab display:
.hikashop_checkout_login_left_part { display: none; }

Then, if you don't want a user to be created when someone order, you can set the option "registration" to "no registration" in the config under the tab diplay (only in commercial versions). That way, the username and password fields will be removed and just the email and address of the customer will be asked and no account will be created for him.

If I don't have the commercial version, is there another way to do this? Thanks for all your help, you're awesome!

Editing the views of hikashop will be complex and not enough as you will also have to make modifications to several core files of hikashop... Not impossible but really difficult and then, if you update, you'll loose your modifications.
I would advise to use the option in the commercial versions instead. That also allow us to feed ourselves and our families and continue to provide a good support on hikashop for everyone as well as new features.

Then I'll purchase it! Thanks for all you guys do. It's so refreshing to ask questions in forums and receive such quick feedback.

So that's the HikaShop Business?

It's available in both the Essential and the Business edition.

Hello again. I want to completely delete everything I did on when I uploaded the free version. I went into the server and deleted the component and module, but when I upload the version I purchased, it still shows the changes I made to the shop's css. Is there something that I'm missing? Thanks!

The CSS and files you previously uploaded are all stored in the folder media/com_hikashop which is not deleted when you uninstall hikashop.

Please note that you don't need to delete anything when you update/upgrade hikashop. You can just install it over your current version and keep all your data.

I know. I just kinda wanted to start fresh because I deleted some of the registration information that I think I still want.

Is there no way to delete EVERYTHING from my original Hikashop installation? I've removed the component, modules, plugins, and the media_com hika, but for some reason not everything is getting deleted. When I reinstall it, it has the same product info and css. I just want it completely off so I can start fresh. Thank you, again!

The CSS is stored in the media/com_hikashop folder. If you delete it the CSS will be removed. However, your browser might be caching the CSS file so I recommend you to clean your browser cache.

Your data is never deleted when you uninstall hikashop for safety reasons because some people mistakenly remove the extension and it would be terrible to have everything removed. If you want to delete all your hikashop data, you need to go in your phpmyadmin and remove all the tables starting with jos_hikashop_
Then you can reinstall hikashop so that it can put the default data automatically during the install.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Ok, this is seriously my last question. I have my flow setup as: address,cart_coupon_payment_confirm_shipping_status_fields_terms,end. When you add to cart, it should ask for your address, but it just has a "next" button. When you click "next", it asks you to choose an address. I even have the registration turned on, but I must not be doing something right. Thanks for your help.

You cannot use the address view without the login view because hikashop needs to be able to attach the addresses to users.
