registration issue

My client wants the cart set to NOT require registration.

Under "Checkout," we have "login" - "no" and "registration" - "no registration"

The problem is that returning customers cannot purchase because the system tells them the email address is already in the system.

New customers get registered anyway. I can delete those registrations, but the probem will happen again in the future.

Hi,

For that, you will probably have to edit the class "user" in "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/user.php", function "register()" and edit the following if condition:

		if($simplified==2){
			$this->database->setQuery('SELECT * FROM '.hikashop_table('user').' WHERE user_email = '.$this->database->Quote($userData->user_email));
			$userInDB = $this->database->loadObject();
			if(@$userInDB->user_cms_id){
				JError::raiseWarning('', JText::_('EMAIL_ADDRESS_ALREADY_USED'));
				return false;
			}
			$this->user_id = 0;
			if(isset($userInDB->user_id)){
				$this->user_id = $userInDB->user_id;
			}
			if(!$this->user_id){
				$this->user_id = $this->save($userData);
			}

			//unpublish previous addresses so that there is no information leakage
			$query = 'UPDATE '.hikashop_table('address').' AS a SET a.address_published=0 WHERE a.address_user_id='.(int)$this->user_id.' and a.address_published=1';
			$this->database->setQuery($query);
			$this->database->query();


		}

What would I change that code to?

Hi,

My mistake, you don't have to edit the file.
The problem is that you tried to checkout with an email already used for an existing account.
If you try to checkout with a new email (never registered on your website), and then cehckout again, you will not have this error, because the mail is not registered for an account.

OK, but lets say I come back tomorrow. Will it tell me I can't buy because my email address is already in the system?

Thanks. My client told me something different happened when he tested, but I believe he was mistaken.
