hello,
I need help to setup username to be the email address and to be able to hide it from the registration field.I use a component called taxi booking that when somebody makes a booking, it silently register the user by email and name.
This is what I have tried to do but didn't change anything:
First i have tried to modify the file /templates/socialize/html/com_users/registration/default.php following this tutorial joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/17053...-joomla-registration but nothing changed in the registration form.

Second i have created a new override in /templates/socialize/html/com_community/registration/default.php but nothing change yet.

thank you

HI, Laurentiu.

Thank you for contacting us.
As much as I'd love to help, your request is beyond what we're able to do for customers.
Our support doesn't cover customizations.
Please, read our Support Policy: www.jomsocial.com/support-policy
Also check this solution, I used it on one of my sites: stackoverflow.com/questions/21268615/how...oomla-3-registration

ok, but I understand that Joomsocial is using his own registration file and not the Joomla /registration/default.php.
Can you please advice me if this method would work:
"Following same idea, a simpler solution might be just including hidden inputs with values in com_users\views\registration\tmpl\default.php above

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary validate"><?php echo JText::_('JREGISTER');?></button>

add

<input type="hidden" id="jform[username]" name="jform[username]" value="username" />
It would pass the validation and you would no longer need to override controllers etc."

where more exacltly i should add this line

Thank you

HI, Laurentiu.

JomSocial uses just own registration field layout. It uses the same registration controller: ROOT/components/com_users/controllers/registration.php
JS layout field uses nearly the same code. You may try method you posted.
