Hi!
I found this interesting article:
https://electrodrome.net/joomla-registrierung-nur-mit-benutzername-pseudonym-und-eingabefelder-reduzieren/ (https://electrodrome.net/joomla-registrierung-nur-mit-benutzername-pseudonym-und-eingabefelder-reduzieren/)
Actually this is not exactly what I want to achieve and I do not want to "hack" Joomla.
So, how can I configure/extend VM to enable customers for registering with their e-mail address and a password, only?
Kind regards,
Gerald
there are posts on here how to autofill name and username as hidden fields with JS and then just make the rest of the shopper fields unpublished
You can also use https://extensions.virtuemart.net/all-tutorials/19-shopper-fields-plugins/29-automated-numbers
You have some plugin that can copy email as username, you only have to rename username Joomla Key, no need to hack Joomla.
See for eg : https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/authentication-email/
The problem is after to do same with Virtuemart.

Hi!
I have bought this plugin now.
How can I achieve the following:
When the user registers, he just fills in the e-mail address and a password.
The plugin automatically fills in the e-mail address as user name.
What I tried, you can see in the screenshot attached.
But the user name and the name fields stay empty.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Gerald
Support is via Istraxx (VM extensions)
Hi!
Now I have it:
1. I configured the plugin a bit differently (see attached screenshot), to avoid resulting in texts like "Hello example@mail.com!".
2. I unpublished the shopper fields 'username' and 'name' and set them to 'not required'.
3. I created a language overrides for displaying reasonable label descriptions in the frontend.
And voilà:
The user can register without filling in the fields 'username' and 'name'!
And he can login with his e-mail address, as the plugin used it as username, too.
Thank you all for all your hints!
Kind regards,
Gerald
Hi!
I am now facing a problem with 'Automated Numbers':
If a registered user logs in, opens his account page and changes the e-mail address, the user name is not being updated!
In the product description of the plugin it says:
(https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=139136.0;attach=70429)
So this seems to be a bug.
Otherwise the function to autofill the username with the e-mail would not make sense:
After the user's first change of his e-mail addresse, he will not be able to login with his new e-mail address anymore.
Does anyone of you have an idea, how to workaround/fix that issue?
Kind regards,
Gerald

Is this a VM feature ?

You can also use https://extensions.virtuemart.net/all-tutorials/19-shopper-fields-plugins/29-automated-numbers
And the solution to this VM problem seems to be the VM extension mentioned there.
It just needs to work right.
And this is what I am trying to achieve with the help of the VM community.
Any constructive comments are still very much appreciated :)
check with istraxx support directly
We use authentification plugin
User - email or username
from Rupostel as part of OPC.
This plugin function correctly.
I use https://www.richeyweb.com/software/joomla/packages/16-authentication-email with some minor user template changes

Yes, is the second option for eshop or website without OPC from Rupostel, we use too :)
It is not a bug. The reason is simple, it does not overwrite existing values. I need to add configuration options to decided if it should overwrite existing values, or not.
Imagine the other way round. A user changes just his email address and the login name changed "suddenly" and he cannot login. So both logics are valid. It depends on the use case.
Currently only the "email" is overwriting the old value, other values are checked against empty.
The authentication plugin of Richey is indeed interesting, cause it enables to use username and email.
No, If I use OPC from Rupostel with this plugin, I can use for login existing username too == for login I can use username or email (This is exactly what plugin do it).
