Title: Mutliple users can register using same email ID
Post by: nav_vij on May 15, 2015, 07:21:54 AM
Hi All,

I am trying to build an ecommerce application with Joomla 3.3.6 and Virtuemart 3.0.4.
I have an issue with the registration form where, a user can register using already registered email id. No unique email id validation is happening. I dont want this to happen and needs to keep the email id unique. I have been trying a lot to find a solution.

I have seen various discussions on this, but haven't quite got any solution.

My PHP version is 5.5

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :)

as guest or registered?
IMHO it is impossible to register in VM with a duplicate email address - whether the correct error handling/messaging works is another question

if as guest you can - thats the whole point - their data isn't "registered" and VM uses the email with a random string appended

how can that be so?

are they registered in joomla ? 2 users with the same email address?
or does the reg fail with no warning and you just proceed to the cart?

Did you tried to register ? No validation error is shown. sometimes user gets registers in. I registered first and then proceed to checkout.

yes - but there aren't both users registered in Joomla with the same email

why are you on 3.0.4???  3.0.9 is the latest .. updates are released for a reason...
