Full registration incl address possible? SOLVED

Hi, I would like my customers to fully register when clicking on the registration link, including all fields that are mandatory during checkout. This would show them right away the right tax group valid form them. Is there a way to do that? In may case only user name etc comes up. Also I would like to keep them logged in after registration. It is VERY uncommon that they have to log-in after registering.

Thanks in advance!

I like the look of the Hikashop registration. However this still would require 2 registration steps... one for Hikashop (addresss) and the other one (user name, PW etc) for Joomla. This is very unusual for a shop. Normally I would have one registration page, including all address and user information. Is this doable? I would be fine if, after the Joomla registration I would right away be brought to the Hikashop registration, when pressing the register button.

Also I would expect to be looged on after registration. In the current set-up I need to still log-on after registraiton. This is not a logical approach.

Nicolas, I am not sure what error I made but following your advice step by step (including the other post you referenced) worked just perfect! Awesome support. Thanks so much! Full registration info on one beautiful panel.

One difference I noted though: in the checkout progress you have the option to show the login form next to the registration form. I've not yet figured out wether this is possible when creating a User Registration menu item?

ooooops... just tried the registration and ran into the following error message:

Looking into the user/customer details in Hikashop, I have realized that the address information has not been filled, even though I filled them out. Do I guess the error is related to the address information.
