Title: User registration fields
Post by: dmb on August 27, 2015, 14:56:51 PM
Hi,

I'm renovating an old Joomla 1.5/VM2.0 website and having migrated everything to Joomla 3.4/VM3.0.9 am trying to customise the fields that must be completed at registration.

On the old site the registering user had to enter billing details as well as username/password/email address, but it seems that the "Display on registration form" option has disappeared from the VM/Config/Shopper fields screen. The only options I have for shopper fields are "Required", "Published", "Show in cart form", "Show in shipment form" and "Show in account maintenance" - none of these affect the registration form. Has this changed along the way from VM2 to VM3 or am I doing something stupid ?

Any help appreciated !

David

Are you using the Joomla registration form? If yes, you might consider to unpublish it, because it's frequently being attacked by hackers and it's not really needed for a shop. Instead enable 'On checkout, ask for registration' in VM configuration > 'Checkout' tab.

The "registration page" is now the form at checkout, with billing and shipping as necessary, set with Show in cart form. IF your display is different maybe you use a commercial template?
