Empty last name field if simplified reg. with pass

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.0
-- PHP version -- : 5.5

Hi,

I've setted a Simplified registration with email and password only. When user click on the confirmation link he's asked to fill the address form. In the form the Last Name field is already filled with the first part of the user email address.

I would leave that field empty till the user do not fill it. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can try removing the line:
$address->address_lastname = $name;
from the file components/com_hikashop/views/address/view.html.php

Is this an hack or an override? This file seems out of the tmpl folder.

Hi,

It is a hack. Overriding view.html.php files is not impossible but more complex as you need to do it through a system plugin

Thanks Nicolas for reply. I would suggest to consider this in future releases. It's very annoying to have the last name prefilled in that case.
