Is it possible to add a "log in" module or option on the front page with HikaShop, or does this require a separate extension?

Thanks!

There is no login module in HikaShop because the default joomla login module does that just fine. So you should use it.

Not so fine; the joomla login module allows users to create account and to disable that option you must set it in user configuration, but doing this Hikashop cannot allow registration on checkout.

Now, I need to let users register on checkout and also I would let them login in future, but at the same time I don't want they can create an account with Joomla registration form (and they can do with standard Joomla login module).

I try to explain why.

If I let a user create an account, he/she provides personal information and according to Italian laws I must let them accept a privacy policy shown in the registration form. Joomla can't do that, but I can do it using Hikashop registration form (at least when you'll have implemented new fields as I suggested into another Topic).

Now, I should have a Login module only for login and username and password recovery and not to register.

I cannot also create a link to Checkout process to use the checkout login form 'cause the user should have put something in the cart, otherway the checkout can't be shouwn.

I can use CB, so I can use CB Login module, but so I need to install and manage CB and I don't need it.

I don't want also to install 3th party extension for login module 'cause I need to upgrade them with future releases. Would be much better to have a Hikashop login module.

Any solution?

Why not just change the registration link in the login module of joomla to go to the registration page of HikaShop or remove it ? We already explained the method to do that here:

Yes, that's the only solution I've thought too at the moment but this is an override trick and I would much appreciate an Hikashop login module, like in VM.

Really thanks if you'll consider it for future releases.

Well, it's not complicated. Just do that modification once directly in the joomla login module and you have your HikaShop login module. I don't feel that there is a need for us to add it within the HikaShop package which is already pretty big.

I would have a solution to disallow J! registration form but at the same time allow registration in Hikashop (like in CB).If I do this trick with override, anyway, someone could register using a direct link in his browser address field (index.php?option=com_users&view=registration) an I don't really want it.

At moment best solution for me is to override the registration link of J! login module pointing it to Hikashop registration form.
