VM2 Customer registration

[bogusj]

Hi, any progress with, at the top of the shopping cart, there is the login without the new user registration link?

[Milbo]

then you can see the return of this part sould be the login action, but the line '$return = $mainframe->login($credentials);' does not do anything, change it also to:

This part was correct, sorry, did not know do a 'return' this way...
I was learned to write "return bla bla bla;" and not "$return = bla bla bla;"

sorry 

No reason to say sorry man. I see it exactly as you, I also do not like it. I am sorry that I see this 1 day after the release, hmp. Next time pook me on it (just btw, yes it is poke, but pook is my new word for a mix of poke and push).

Very interesting this change with the id==0 and it should be !=0, why not just completly remove it then?

Edit: I just see that in the new version 2.0.8 we use

Code Select Expand

if($currentUser->guest==1){

Hello,

I found out that this "bug" has been in VM 2 since version 2.0.2 so I created my own hack, I'm sure it's not the best solution but it works for me.

In the file: components\com_virtuemart\controllers\user.php
Go find the code:

Code Select Expand

function registerCheckoutUser(){
$msg = $this->saveData(true,true);
$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart&task=checkout',$this->useXHTML,$this->useSSL ),$msg);
}

And change it to:

Code Select Expand

function registerCheckoutUser(){
$msg = $this->saveData(true,true);
$currentUser = JFactory::getUser();
if($currentUser->id != 0){
$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart&task=checkout',$this->useXHTML,$this->useSSL ),$msg);
} else {
$this->setRedirect(JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editaddresscheckout&addrtype=BT',$this->useXHTML,$this->useSSL ),$msg);
}
}

I don't know if it will work with an activation link send via mail but it works if you have a 'register as customer' button next to the 'register as guest' button.

Hope this "bug" will get fixed with the next update because I don't like changing core files of components

Hello all! I think i've found why the activation link doesn't work.

When the user register trough VM it creates the user on #__users. But when VM check if the user is correctly registered ($app->login() ) it update the #__users login with lastVisitDate.

the activate() function on register.php model on com_users search for the activation code but also with a lastvisitdate set to null and so it says that the code is incorrect.

I made a workaround modifying the query in the register model, but i would that vm don't do that login or update the lastvisitdate.

thanks and sorry for my bad english!

Hello,

Could you please read the following thread: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=99755.0

Regards

I have read the suggested thread, but I don't see a final fix by the VM programmers, or any confirmation that any of the suggestions work. Also the topic talks about the activation link. My problem is that in cart page there is no registration link, only the login. Any fix about this, please?

[bogusj]

I found the problem!
For some reason, the block of code was commented out? I don't know why!
Line 140 of file components/com_virtuemart/views/user/tmpl/login.php was:
        <?php /*
          $usersConfig = &JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_users' );
          if ($usersConfig->get('allowUserRegistration')) { ?>
          <div class="width30 floatleft">
          <a  class="details" href="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user' ); ?>">
          <?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_REGISTER'); ?></a>
          </div>
          <?php }
         */ ?>

I changed to:
        <?php
          $usersConfig = &JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_users' );
          if ($usersConfig->get('allowUserRegistration')) { ?>
          <div class="width30 floatleft">
          <a  class="details" href="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user' ); ?>">
          <?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_REGISTER'); ?></a>
          </div>
          <?php }
          ?>

Problem solved!
