Problem with registration during checkout

-- url of the page with the problem -- : private
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.4

Hello,

during checkout I have a problem that users can register without setting a password (this is not intended).

Steps to recreate:

1. add a product to the cart and go to checkout
2. on the page where users can register: register a new user but use an already registered email
3. error message appears: email already registered
4. change the email in the field to a not registered email, leave the password field(s) empty, and click on register
5. Depending on checkout steps configuration there will be different pages displayed now and most of the time with the error message like "registering with an empty password is not allowed". However, the user is registered already without having a password and although the message is displayed at the top of the page the forms for login and registration are not available anymore. The user can proceed by clicking on a button at the bottom (i.e. "buy").

My Joomla registration is set to not require any registration confirmation.

How can this be fixed?

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Jerome,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, Joomla does usually not allow registering an account without a password. What I tried to describe with the step by step description is that with hikashop it happens and it is not intended. I do not want that users can register without password, but it is possible.

The error message that "registering without a password is not allowed" comes after page reload in the message area and at this time the user is already registered. On you demo shop the error message opens in a popup which blocks the page reload (and registration) I suppose.

How could this be fixed?

Hi,

I see, so for a solution I must find out if the cause is a javascript error or a customized view that does not allow the javascript check to find the password field.

I have attached the view user>registration_bootstrap in the 1st file. Could you point me to the lines that might cause the issue, please?

I have attached the link to the site in the 2nd file.

Hi,

thanks for looking into the code!

The javascript was not modified by me, but probably by the template provider.

Is there a way to add the "hikashopSubmitForm" function back to that code? Maybe as easy as removing the // before the function?

Hi,

Yes you can remove the "//" in the override of your "user / registration" or "user / registration_bootstrap" view.

Hi,

thanks for the info. When I simply remove those "//" the texteditor shows that the following code is not valid anymore and if I open the checkout page it looks completely different (white background and css stripped).

Is there anything else to consider when removing the "//"?

Hi,

Thanks to use this code:

echo $this->cartClass->displayButton($registerButtonName,'register',$this->params,'',' hikashopSubmitForm(\''.$this->form_name.'\'); return false;','id="hikashop_register_form_button"', 0, 1, 'btn btn-primary');

echo $this->cartClass->displayButton($registerButtonName,'register',$this->params,'',' document.'.$this->form_name.'.submit(); return false;','id="hikashop_register_form_button"', 0, 1, 'btn btn-primary'); //hikashopSubmitForm(\''.$this->form_name.'\');

Hi,

the code you suggested solved the issue, thanks a lot!
