Remove registration from checkout

Hello,

Been messing with this for awhile and tried everything I could find on the form, but can't seem to work it out. I want to remove the registration option from the checkout page. I want users to use the registration form I've created on the site because I need to retrieve a lot info from the users. At the same time I must require users to be registered in order to access their checkout.

If I could hide the: hikashop_checkout_login_right_part section of the checkout or registration radio button under the "switcher" option that would do the trick.

I've been playing around with the login_form.php and login.php files, but I get errors when I remove or comment out the sections that appear to be associated with these section.

Hoping there is a work around. This form post seemed to be along the right track, but I couldn't get any of the options suggested to work:

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I want to remove the registration option from the checkout page

If you want to enable your customers to checkout without registering, you'll just have to
- Go to "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Checkout"
- Set the "Display method for registration" option to All in one page
- Set the "Registration" option to Guest

Note that the Registration / Display method for registration options are only available through an Hikashop commercial version.

I need to retrieve a lot info from the users

Note that you can use custom fields to customize the content of the hikashop registration form and gather your user information.

That was not the answer I was hoping for...
Registration must to be required. I can't have users checkout as guest. I want them to register through the form that I have already created as this allows me to export user/client info to excel and csv files, while registering for the site/store. I have the essentials store installed for this site.

Figured it out though. Knew I was close. In the login.php file in /components/com_hikashop/views/checkout/tmpl delete this code line 66-74:
<?php
$usersConfig = JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_users' );
$allowRegistration = $usersConfig->get('allowUserRegistration');
if($allowRegistration || $this->registration[2]){
echo hikashop_getLayout('user','registration',$params,$js);
}else{
echo JText::_('REGISTRATION_NOT_ALLOWED');
}
?>

Then delete on line 62-64:

else {
echo JText::_('HIKA_REGISTRATION');
}

This will remove the title on the right side. Also make sure you have your Login/reg configuration in the hikashop backend set to the same settings as in the screen shot. Otherwise your login.php code will be different.

-->system -> configuration -> Login & Registration
