strange behavior address input on registrationform

Hi,

It's not the first section of the clients email address. It's the first section of the user name of the customer that is used to prefill the last name field, thanks to the code:

$name = $userCMS->get('name');
				$pos = strpos($name, ' ');
				if($pos !== false) {
					$address->address_firstname = substr($name, 0, $pos);
					$name = substr($name, $pos + 1);
				}
				$address->address_lastname = $name;

Hi,

It has alwasy been like that as far as I can remember.
In simplified registration, the email is used as username and the part before the @ is used as name of the user account.
So it explains why you get the first part of the email in the last name field of the address.

Hi,

Best would be to use the "simplified registration" where the username will be use the email address.

Hi,

Unfortunately, if you want to remove the core name and merge it with the username ; it will require some core hack.
Because these fields are core field in Joomla and the HikaShop registration function are handling these fields with "hard code" because they cannot change.

Hi,

I still don't see why the simplified registration would change anything for your existing users ?
They'll still be able to use their username to login. And you can install a small authentication plugin (free) to allow the login with their email address so that everyone can use their email address.

To me, it looks way simpler than trying to remove a field that is required. As the field is required, HikaShop checks that you've filled it. If you remove it or hide it, HikaShop will still check that you entered something and if you don't, it will display an error message. To prevent that would require modifing the function register of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/user.php to remove that check. And you can understand that we can't remove that check by default since normally you want that error message if the customer doesn't enter something in the field.
