Title: how to add fields to the registration form (not user profile edit form)
Post by: beny.rfg on March 24, 2016, 18:32:55 PM
Hello,
how to add fields to the registration form? Not user profile edit form - but when the user first registers on site.

I suspect that VirtueMart uses Joomla registration form, but I need to add user field, which uses a VM (eg. Company name) on register page.

Joomla 3.4.8 + VM 3.0.9

Thanks!
Petr

Thanks for your answer, but if add a new fields in this manner, they will not displayed on the registration page, but only user profile edit page.

On registration page is only:

- Name
- Username
- Pass
- Pass confirm
- E-mail
- E-mail confirm


How do I add shopperfields on this page?

The fields you are talking about are VM Shopper Data fields and are NOT going to show on the Joomla registration

Don't exist any plugin for this? Or modify php template of Joomla reg. form?

Thanks...

why not use the VM form to register then the fields are there?

On all my shops I disable the Joomla registration

other than that there are plenty of "extended" Joomla reg extensions

Hi John,
Can you tell me how you got the user address fields on your registration form?  I'm trying to get the user to be able to add their address at the time of registration.  All the documentation seems to point to the "shopper field" screen but it appears to relate to an older version as the latest one does not have an option for adding fields to the registration screen.
Thanks.

You just add new shopperfields in the VM admin and they show up in the VM registration - thats it .. not tricks etc

or do u mean on index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&layout=edit you have no address fields?

Then they must be unpublished etc

I am trying to get the address to appear here
index.php/component/users/?view=registration
As this is the default my template goes to for new user registration, but it does not include the address.

That is the Joomla registration - you can add fields to that by turning on Joomla's User - Profile plugin. But those entries are not available to VirtueMart.

Instead make a menu link to VM's Account Maintenance page and maybe use overrides to lay it out as you wish. Then the users will be registered in Joomla as well as VirtueMart as shoppers.

Ah, Ok, thanks.  That's the user registration page the template I'm using brings up.  I had the joomla options configured and turned them off because they don't translate into Virtuemart.  All i really want to do is have one page for new people registering that asks for their address at the same time it asks for their other details.

On all my sites I only allow registration thru VM - avoids confusion IMHO
