Title: how to get shipping address from joomla user details?
Post by: Stannite on June 01, 2013, 14:55:13 PM
Hi all,

I am using joomla 2.5.10 and virtuemart 2.0.20b.

When a user registers, he also needs to fill in his address. i got this working by using the standard joomla user-profile plugin. But virtuemart doesn't use this address as shipping or billing address. how can i achieve this?

thanks in advance

Either use VirtueMart's registration as intended or maybe you could use this plugin.

How do i use the virtuemart registration? somehow i am not able to find this. I looked in the plugins and modules.

When i disable the joomla plugins, a customer register with name, username, email and password. With the joomla plugins enabled, the user registers with address details as well.

When a customer registers, the user is created in joomla and in virtuemart, except the address isn't placed in virtuemart.

Sorry - it was late and I forgot to add the plugin link.  https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=100959.msg334299#msg334299   VM won't get data from the J profile plugin without hacking the core (which we do not support) as the data tables are different.

There is no option for virtuemart registration on the elements menu types. How do you accomplish that?
