Hi all,

I need to have a login module for people to log in and create their own account. The module is present but when you click on the “Create an account” does not link to the Virtuemart form. Instead, goes to the Joomla standard one. That means that they don’t fill up their addresses straight away and creates some issues at the checkout. So, is there anyway to do that?

In the picture below you see the link on the right hand side and if you look to the top right of the image you see “My account” which actually what I am aiming for.

The website is already online at: http://www.t-reeds.com

Thank you very much.

Borja

You can use the virtuemart login module instead of the standard Joomla one. If you go to your module manager you should be able to create a new VM login module if it is installed. If not you can download the module from the virtuemart site.

Hello Phill,

I have not found that particular module on the Virtuemart website. Can you post here the link?

Thanks

Borja

Seems I was wrong, it is no longer included in the VM2 package. I will need to do some research and get back to you.

No worries, will wait for your wise advice.

Just to try to help this is the link that I want to redirect the “Create an account”:

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&layout=edit

I have changed it at modules/mod_login/tmpl/default.php at line 72

[PHP]
72 <li>
73 <a href=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&layout=edit’); ?>”>
74 <?php echo JText::_(‘MOD_LOGIN_REGISTER’); ?></a>
75 </li>
[/PHP]

But just did not change anything. I have got the feeling that the Login module is taking the code from K2. But is not a K2 Login module. I did not find the K2 Login module code to replace the link.

This is where I got stack.

Hope this help and thank you for your time.

That should work. Have you got any module overrides in the templates html folder?

OOps, just realised we override the mod_login in the JAT3 plugin folder. So you need to copy the mod_login from the JAT3 folder to the templates html folder and carry out your modification there.

Hi Phil,

Ok it did work in the end but I am going to explain sted by step what I did.

I always followed the same process, I changed this:

[PHP]
<li>
<a href=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_users&view=registration’); ?>”>
<?php echo JText::_(‘COM_USERS_LOGIN_REGISTER’); ?></a>
</li>
[/PHP]

For this:

[PHP]
<li>
<a href=”<?php echo JRoute::_(‘index.php?option=com_users&view=registration’); ?>”>
<?php echo JText::_(‘MOD_LOGIN_REGISTER’); ?></a>
</li>
[/PHP]

The first one I changed was at:

/templates/ja_mixmaz/html/com_users/login/default_login.php

It did not work. Then I went to:

/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/html/com_users/login/default_login.php

Did not work either. And finally I found:

/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/html/mod_login/default.php

And everything changed for good.

So I am not sure if the first and second file was needed but so far no problem. In the end I solved everythink.

Thank you very much.

Borja
