HS registration doesn't honour Joomla settings

The HS registration (a) does not honour the User Manager Options setting to not send the password in the user registration/activation email. I think this is a serious bug, or worse a bit of a cheap way of forcing Essential users to buy the Business Edition so that emails can be customised. Nor do the HS registration emails use the override-able strings used by Joomla registration.

First time I haven't been impressed by HS.

OK, sorry for being grumpy but I was under a bit of pressure. The pre-Joomla-2.5 way of removing the password from account registration emails was to modify the email templates via language overrides. HS uses multiple language strings, so there is no way to remove an element. I did find a sneaky way of doing it by creating mail overrides in the joomla25/media/com_hikashop/mail folder:

• user_account.html.modified.php
• user_account.text.modified.php

and deleting the username and password elements. I assume these *.modified.php files are where your Business edition stores the edited email templates, but Essential picks up these *.modified.php overrides and I'm hoping updates won't squash them.

Don't worry, I will buy the Business edition once I've thoroughly used/abused the Essential version. I like the custom field functionality in your commercial editions.
