Configure Checkout for Registration or Guest

-- url of the page with the problem -- : midwest.testme.co
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.2
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Please enter a value for the field Password

I have read the various threads on Guest Checkout and use of the Switcher to allow a user to Login, Register or Checkout as a Guest.

I am having trouble using the Guest checkout with my configuration as:

Switcher
Simplified Registration with password
Guest

With this configuration if I try to checkout as a Guest I get the message that a password is required.

I can only get the Guest checkout to work by choosing:

Switcher
Simplified Registration
Guest

OR

Switcher
Guest

Is this working correctly? In other words, if I want to have a choice of Registration OR Guest Checkout do I have to choose Simplified Registration (without password).

Thanks

Hi Nicolas

Thanks but I downloaded and installed the 22 March 2014 version and I still have this error.

Guest checkout still only works if Registration is set to simplified without password.

Hello Brett,
Can you download the last Hikashop version through our website, install it and test it again just to be sure that your issue isn't coming from what we have fixed through the last Hikashop package ?
Thank you .

Hi Mohamed
I installed the 25 March version and still have the error.

I can send you the login details if required.
Thanks
Brett

Plus now when I "Add to Cart" the cart popup just displays a blank popup window with "An error occurred" in it. I tried turning on Debug but I didn't see anything that I thought was useful.

Hi Nicolas

Thanks for checking - sorry for wasting your time as I didn't update this ticket.

I rolled back to the previous version and changed to Simplified Checkout without password so that's why it works.

Regards
Brett

Hi Nicolas/Mohamed

I have installed the latest Hikashop version (25 March) and changed the Checkout to Simplified with Password and the Guest Checkout is still not working.

I have cleared my browser cache too - could you please take a look for me.

Thanks
Brett

Hi,

I have reproduced the error on our end, thanks to edit the file "media/com_hikashop/js/hikashop.js"
And replace:

		var simplified_pwd = document.getElementById('data[register][registration_method]3');
		var simplified = document.getElementById('data[register][registration_method]1');
		var guest = document.getElementById('data[register][registration_method]2');

		var simplified_pwd = document.getElementById('data_register_registration_method3');
		var simplified = document.getElementById('data_register_registration_method1');
		var guest = document.getElementById('data_register_registration_method2');

Hi Xavier

Thanks that is working now.

Regards
Brett

Ok thanks for the feedback.
It will be corrected in the next package.
