On page /index.php/shop/account-maintenance the shopper information Joomla fields are missing the asterisk mark (see register.png) however they are set as required in admin (see admin.png). When I am logged in it gets right, asterisks are shown (logged-in.png).

This is and old issue carried from previous versions to which no one really seem to find a suitable solution http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119721.msg407436#msg407436

They are not marked with asterisk, because you can checkout as guest and then you do not need to fill them

but only if you enable guest check out - of all the VM shops I've done not a single client has wanted guest checkout enabled

from memory (although it was a while ago) my hack deals with this - only adding an asterisk if guest checkout ISN'T enabled

Hmm strange, I use

if($register and $type == 'BT'  and VmConfig::get('oncheckout_show_register',1) ){

But yes I missed the fix for the password fields. Thanks for that, maybe now it works?

he he... have you tried my hack then?

To be honest I am looking forward to having it in the official version ;-)
And please tell me where is that secret place where I can find the amended version. Seems like everyone knows here but me.  :-[
