-- url of the page with the problem -- : lapeercountyconcertchoir.com/index.php/c...out/step/step-1.html
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- HikaSerial version -- : 1.10.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5
-- PHP version -- : 5.6.19
(Note I had this part of this in the Hikserial section and was told to post it here)

I have used Hikashop for many years on another site and it works great.

I now have it installed on a Choir site and last year sold tickets to our concerts on line with just hikashop and the customer used the email as a ticket at the event. I want to make it a little more professional and just installed hikaserial.

My problem right now is when I try to test the checkout system - it says "the email is already in use". I had this problem on my other site and corrected it by using "no login" - I have attached a screenshot of the new setup. This problem seems to be new - last year before hikserial was installed I could purchase tickets using 'an email that is from a registered person". Now I cannot.

Hi,

The "login" option only displays/hide the login area of the checkout.
It has no effect on whether you can use an email address of an existing user account to to a guest checkout.
HikaShop has never allowed that, regardless of how you configured it.
The only solution is to delete the user account in the Joomla user manager. Only then will you be able to to a guest checkout with the email address.

Ok - So I see 2 conditions:

1 - A Guest User (with no user login) can use the same email address as many times as he wants.
2 - A "registered user" must login to complete an order.


Question - Is there an easy way to show the email address in the checkout-address area. After the email address is entered, it is never visible again. (This may not be a problem with most people - I use a lot of different emails)

Hi,

You can use such code:

<?php $user = hikashop_loadUser(true);
echo $user->user_email; ?>
in the view files of the checkout via the menu Display>Views.
