Hi,
I'm not upset at all and I read your message carefully. I'm just telling you how it has always worked. I've written the code myself so I know how it works and worked before, believe me.
1. That's not possible. There has never been an auto login feature in the registration page of HikaShop. Not in the Starter edition, not in the Business edition, not in previous versions, not in the current version. HikaShop's registration page has always worked like joomla's registration page which doesn't log you in automatically after the registration process.
There is specially a plugin for that for joomla registration available on the JED and we actually created one recently for someone else for HikaShop's registration. So you can use it if you want:
2. Again, there is no option in HikaShop to configure a redirection URL after registration, so there is no redirection. That's normal. It has always been like that.
Now, if you want to have a redirection after the registration process of HikaShop, that's possible. We've actually already helped other people add that in their HikaShop:
www.hikashop.com/en/forum/2-general-talk...er-registration.html
Note that since then it's now simpler as you can directly add the redirect code in the file "after_register" via the menu Display->Views and you won't loose your changes when you update HikaShop.
