Title: Add default value to registration form email field
Post by: Laura Chu on March 23, 2017, 23:38:58 PM
I want to add default value to registration form email field, something like "Please make sure use active email address". I appreciate if someone can give me help, many thanks.

In the shopper field list edit the email field and enter your test in the default text field.

I think so, I add "test" and save, but still nothing in the email field. Looks like all the detail about shoppers field cannot be changed, but shipping detail are changeable.

Works fine for me, VM3.2, VM default templates.  Are you using overrides?

NO file attached.

Surely you must know that? If it is in templates/[yourjoomlatemplate]/com_virtuemart/ then it is an override.  And of course the email field has a locked status in the field list as it is a reserved Joomla field, but that does not prevent editing it.
