CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I apologize if this has been solved elsewhere...I have done some searching and don't see a final solution to my problem

I am running Joomla 1.5.6 w/CiviCRM 2.1.alpha3.

I want to register new people with the site via the civiMember interface (take the place of the standard Joomla registration process).  I think I am remembering being able to do this when I was setting up a site with Drupal.  Now I need to do it in Joomla though.  Am I missing something terribly obvious or is somewhat of a work-in-progress that hasn't been completely solved yet? 

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance,
John

Awesome...

Could you detail how to add a profile to the registration (site registration, right, not Event registration) process for me?  I'm not seeing how to do that.

I am sorry...I am not trying to be difficult.  BTW, thank you.  I found how to do what you suggested, but I am not working with events, I want to capture user information when they register with our site.

Ferkee... I am also trying to accomplish the same thing with Joomla 1.5.6 w/CiviCRM 2.1.alpha3.

I guess that you cannot replace the Joomla default registration process but we need to somehow complement it with the CivicCRM information. In Joomla! we normally use a famous component called "community builder" that allows to add additional fields to any Joomla registration profile. Of course the CRM architecture is way better but I am still looking through the forums to see a one step registration of Joomla! with the CRM. 

I was also trying to register people to my site using the civiMember interface (Joomla 1.5.6 w/CiviCRM 2.1.beta4), so thanks to Lobo for solving this for me.

One further question. I would like the username and password box to be required fields and appear by default, without the text 'If you would like to create an account on this site, check the box below and enter a user name and a password. If you already have an account, please login before completing this form. '

Could someone point me in the right direction to achieve this.

Thanks so much
Emily

Hi lobo

Thank you for your response. I have worked out how to use a custom template for main.tpl but cannot work out how to edit main.tpl to remove the checkbox and have the username and password fields appear by default? Are there other files that also need changing? I'm completely stuck!!

Cheers
Emily

Thanks lobo, I'll give it a go and see where I end up
