On page /index.php/shop/account-maintenance the shopper information Joomla fields are missing the asterisk mark (see register.png) however they are set as required in admin (see admin.png). When I am logged in it gets right, asterisks are shown (logged-in.png).

This is and old issue carried from previous versions to which no one really seem to find a suitable solution http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119721.msg407436#msg407436
from memory this is the fix : http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119721.msg407954#msg407954
never made it to the core though - might be a bit outdated for 2.6.6
They are not marked with asterisk, because you can checkout as guest and then you do not need to fill them
but only if you enable guest check out - of all the VM shops I've done not a single client has wanted guest checkout enabled
from memory (although it was a while ago) my hack deals with this - only adding an asterisk if guest checkout ISN'T enabled
Funny, there are a lot people who disable registration. yepp, I never saw the hack, but yes it reliefs abit the problem. Actually I wrote it another solution already for vm3, please test there.
The last 3 VM sites I built use only guest registration.......
Strange clients u have - all my clients want to build a close and loving relationship with their customers and spam them to hell with special offers, newsletter blah blah and so forth... ;D

This is the version where I have found the problem.
he he... have you tried my hack then?
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119721.msg407954#msg407954
Hmm strange, I use
if($register and $type == 'BT' and VmConfig::get('oncheckout_show_register',1) ){
But yes I missed the fix for the password fields. Thanks for that, maybe now it works?

To be honest I am looking forward to having it in the official version ;-)
And please tell me where is that secret place where I can find the amended version. Seems like everyone knows here but me. :-[
