registration form customization

Hey,

I would like hide the Name field in the registration process and fill it with First Name & Last name, as no one wants to fill out their name twice.

I understand this might be possible with simplified registration, however I want my user to be able to choose their own password.

any ideas on how to do this?

I have found this code for the address information (first name & last name) but unsure on where the "template" actually is.

<tr class="hikashop_registration_address_info_line">
<td colspan="2" height="40">
<?php echo JText::_( 'ADDRESS_INFORMATION' ); ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
$this->type = 'address';
echo $this->loadTemplate();
?>
<tr class="hikashop_registration_required_info_line">
<td colspan="2" height="40">
<?php echo JText::_( 'HIKA_REGISTER_REQUIRED' ); ?>
</td>
</tr>


I'm guessing I need to do something like this:

<input type="text" id="register_email" name="data[register]" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->mainUser->get( 'email' ));?>" class="inputbox required validate-email" maxlength="100" onchange="document.getElementById('register_username').value = this.value"/> * which I have for the username/email part, but as the address form is loaded via a template(?) I don't know what the first name & last name fields are called I would also have to combine the two fields (first & last name) into one document.getElementById to put into the name field. Many thanks! :)[email]" value="<?php echo $this->escape($this->mainUser->get( 'email' ));?>" class="inputbox required validate-email" maxlength="100" onchange="document.getElementById('register_username').value = this.value"/> *

thanks nick, that did help me understand a little (the fact that address is loaded through the custom fields, doh!)

i've come up with this:

<input class="inputbox required validate-password" type="password" id="register_password" name="data[register][password]" value="" onchange="document.getElementById('register_name').value = address_firstname.value + ' ' + address_lastname.value"/> *

while it works, it could pose a problem if the user changes their first and last name after they've put in a password. would you have any idea of a better way of doing it, maybe on submitting the form somehow? would it dupe the fields before checking if name was empty?

cheers

okay thanks, it's actually your JS that i modified from an old post along with:

<tr class="hikashop_registration_name_line" style="display:none;">

pretty tough,

i've done this but getting syntax errors

echo $this->cartClass->displayButton(JText::_('HIKA_REGISTER'),'register',$this->params,'','if(hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'register\',\''.$this->form_name.'\') && hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'user\',\''.$this->form_name.'\') && hikashopCheckChangeForm(\'address\',\''.$this->form_name.'\')'.$additional_check.'){ var button = document.getElementById(\'login_view_action\'); if(button) button.value=\'register\'; document.'.$this->form_name.'.submit(); document.getElementById('register_name').value = address_firstname.value + ' ' + address_lastname.value; } return false;');

i'm not great with JS any help highly appreciated

thanks great help, one last thing, is it possible to style/CSS the custom fields ?

cool, thanks.

is it essential to upgrade to hikashop business if i want my own custom step in my workflow? (ideally customer enters email only on first step like amazon)

i see. well i tried editing fields.php by adding the code:

<?php
$this->setLayout('custom_fields');
$this->type = 'user';
echo $this->loadTemplate();


?>

but it doesn't work. Is this an Hikashop edition lock (not allowed) or what?
