hi

i would like to add default values to the registration field, could you guide me on the best way to do this? hoping to edit
components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml

<field
name="name"
type="text"
description="COM_USERS_REGISTER_NAME_DESC"
filter="string"
label="COM_USERS_REGISTER_NAME_LABEL"
required="true"
size="30"
value="Select a nice username!"
/>

i dont know if this will result in an issue with hikashop? or it might get overridden.

Anyway something like below with default values

Hi,

Here's a neat little Joomla plugin that lets you override form XMLs: icueproject.com/downloads/override-xml-forms
I haven't tried it with Joomla 3.6.x, yet, but with previous versions it worked perfectly fine.

Hint: What you probably want isn't value but placeholder attributes, e.g. in the form

placeholder="First name"

hi lousyfool

i cant get it to work

this is the xml file i want to add placeholders

/components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml

/templates/system/form/com_users/registration.xml

Hi,

Please read the "custom field" documentation.

Hi,

You seem to have found it already, but this is all I can point you at: icueproject.com/products/override-xml-forms
Make sure you got it all right.
It worked for me and, sorry, more I can't say without digging deeper into your site - not to mention that the HikaShop support forum isn't the place to go into more details of 3rd-party code.
