Change / set customer id to begind at a high number or with a prefix?

Hi,

There is no "customer id" or "customer number" in HikaShop.
I suppose that you're talking about the user_id of the entry in the hikashop_user table.
You can change that for new users in the future by changing the auto_increment in the hikashop_user table via your PHPMyAdmin.
And if you're talking about the id of the Joomla user account in the users table of joomla, you also have an auto_increment on it so you can change it in PHPMyAdmin the same way.

Hi,

Increasing the auto_increment of the users table of Joomla cannot mess with the registration process.
It would be the case if you removed the primary key on the table or removed the auto_increment.
So I guess you need to check what you did in your PHPMyAdmin as you must have done something wrong.

If you say that the id in users is 0 when a user registers, it indicates that the auto_increment has been removed on the id column of the users table. So you need to add it back.

Hi,

Are you talking about registration on this page ?

Because that's the guest form, not the registration form, so it's normal that no user account is created, since that's the purpose of this form.
And what you describe in your message also indicates that you're using the guest form, not the registration form.
So I suspect that you've set the "registration" setting, under the "checkout" tab of the Hikashop configuration to "guest".
Revert it to "registration" if you want a user account to be created when the user fills that form.

Hi,

Well, that's also a guest form.
If you've activated the guest mode, then there is no HikaShop registration page, only guest form, even if it's named registration.

If you want a registration form page while you have the registration set as only guest in HikaShop you would have to use the Joomla user registration form page, not HikaShop's.

Alternatively, you can change the "Display method for registration" setting to "selector" in the HikaShop configuration and then select both the "registration" and the "guest" modes in the "registration" setting below. That will allow both guest and registration to be available on the checkout and your link will display the registration form of Hikashop.

Hi,

Adding a note in the help is a good idea.
I think what would make sense would be to have an option in the "hikashop user registration" type menu items to select whether to force the registration mode or let it behave based on the registration setting of the HikaShop configuration.
Thanks for your feedback.
