Hello,
I have just set up a new store under Joomla 3.4.1, using Virtuemart 3.0.6.2
After testing it on a server and with the latest Xampp an issue occurred.
I cannot register a new user. (Frontend) Neither using the shopping cart check out nor trough the account.
It simply doesn't happen anything. I click on "register" and I get directed to the same page again with an empty and ready to fill form again...similar to pressing "refresh".
Any suggestions?
have you registration enabled in Joomla?
Can you register with Joomla from the FE?
Ah okay, I did see that.
I can now login into the regular joomla registration (Login Modul).
Once I am registered, I can login into joomla as well as virtuemart
1. However, I still cannot register directly in virtuemart (neither at the checkout).
2. and in case I have required fields (such as City) in the joomla registration, they wont be placed with the same values in virtuemart (hence the user has to enter City again.
Is this a std clean install or some horrible quickstart thing?
Are you using a std (Protostar ) template?
Quote2. and in case I have required fields (such as City) in the joomla registration, they wont be placed with the same values in virtuemart (hence the user has to enter City again.
this will never happen - the two fields e.g. City - have no connection between J & VM
Anyway - normally you would ONLY register thru VM

There are no joomla address fields. You talk about the component com_contact. Vm is much older than these component and has its own userfields. Furthermore the com_contact is not reliable for us. Just use our shopperfields.
Yes, my template is based on Protostar? (havent touched the html)
- Under Plugins - User Profile you can ask for City and make it mandatory even during the registration process in joomla.
That not the problem here.
Users simply cant register in VM :'(.
Another question, isnt there a login module since joomla and vm are disconnected when it comes to users(similar to the joomla login)?
they are not "disconnected" - it is just the fields that you can add in the profile have nothing to do with the perhaps same named VM ones
only the Joomla login module is nesscesary
this doesnt solve the problem however.
To loop around I have enabled the function "register". This is very unfortunate - because it is sort of vital to allow users to register and send them material.
Doesnt anyone have the same issue?
QuoteDoesnt anyone have the same issue?
would seem not - I have done dozens of VM installs and never seen this problem
QuoteTo loop around I have enabled the function "register".
what does this mean? Where?
He does not understand that there are no joomla userfields.
There are only userfields of the component com_contact. VM has userfields for a lot longer time than joomla with the contact component, so we could not use them. Later they appeared to unstable and are not suitable for vm.
You error is, that you use the joomla registration, just use the virtuemart one, for example the accountmaintenance or the cart itself.
How can I ensure that joomla registration is never be used?
When I execute a purchase and continue to the "cart", the user has the chance to register - this registration is not working.
if you use the registration in the cart or vm account maintenance, then it works as you expect
Just had another client with the same problem - he had managed to unpublish the Displayed Name - reg in VM then failed
I have the same problem...my user can't register virtuemart stay in the same page and don't save anythings...
any solution?
with your full and complete explanation of your problem, etc - who would know?
have you read and understood all the posts above and checked your config and install?
Well i came here just to say that im facing the same problem (try to register and nothing happens) and im using Virtuemart 3.0.6.4 account maintance and still doesn't work. Im using Megadeal template for my job. This is a major problem and the site can't go online without fixing this. Please anyone can help me please?
[EDIT]
Ok that was my fault. Joomla User registration was disabled. And the joomla docs was giving me the wrong instructions. if anyone else want to see where to enable "User Registration" see here: http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/5468 (http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/5468)
That's it
Check with beez template, I had the same problem and it was due to our template providers plugin (yagendoo).
They solved it with an upgrade saying something had changed in the latest versions of vm for the account maintenace so ask your template provider just in case.
An easy check we did was trying to register from the checkout, which worked even when account maitenance failed.

We use a module http://extensions.joomla.org/extension/slick-login-for-virtuemart
That allows us to set a custom URL so we set there the URL for vm account maintenance. On register click the visitor is always redirected to vm register.
However we use default joomla register for mobile users.. so shouldnt be a problem to combine them either.
