We have actually removed these settings in the quick registration section in EasySocial 2. Instead, it displays a fixed list of custom fields on the quick registration section.

But these are the things that made the Appcarvers app so bad! The missing of a proper way of registration. Now people need to click an additional link just to get to the registration? For being specialists you should know that users should have to click as few links as possible, Forcing your customers into forcing their visitors to click another link is just wrong. I can not describe how bad this is. Hype for ES2 is gone instantly with this huge disappointment of being forced to having a useless registration! I just bought the docker plugin, useless as well when the popup shows a fixed predefined registration with selection of gender though my site is for women only. Not to mention people on a mobile device need to visit another link...

Hm, I am not too sure what do you mean by enforcing users to click on the register link. They could still use the quick registrations to register on the site.

Well, when I check the forums I find several people not being happy with the latest decisions made and I have to agree with them.

They could still use the quick registrations to register on the site.

None of your customers can use this module since there is no captcha.


Nevertheless I found out to edit these three files:
/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/html/login.php
/administrator/components/com_easysocial/models/fields.php
/modules/mod_easysocial_register/tmpl/default.php

Could you please assist how to make a proper override for these files?

Can you please let me know what are your end goals here? Do you only intend to display a captcha form?

I have deleted the gender and fullname and have insert a checkbox, captcha and address. it seems to be working so far but I would like to make an override of these files to not get overwritten with the next update. I have no clue how to make an override of files from the administrator folder if this is even possible.

In the next version, we'll be adding more fields to the theme file so you could just overwrite the front end theme files when you update

Sounds good, so I just wait for this.

Unfortunately I was a bit too quick before. I have submitted the former post, wanted to edit the post and then got a long phonecall and forgot to submit the edited post.

The problem with my quick registration is now, that you force us to have an email confirmation field as well. So I have to make another hack because having only one email field on the quick registration leads to the full registration with an empty 'confirm email' field... Could you please provide which files I need to edit to get rid of the email confirmation field?

To see what I mean you can go to http://sicherung.zazeni.de.vm107.fc-server.de/ and try to register. Credentials for access to site are at site details 'dev' site.

You can modify these following file.

JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/html/login.php
JoomlaFolder/modules/mod_easysocial_register/tmpl/default.php


Template override in :
JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easysocial/helpers/html/login.php (Easysocial login page/ dashboard page)
JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/mod_easysocial_register/default.php (Easysocial quick registration module)

Hi Arlex,

I have my quick registration already done as I want to. But the quick registration leads to the full registration because of the missing confirmation email field. So I want to remove the forced email confirmation, because probably this leads to the not working mini registration.

Ooph, so simple. I just thought way to complicated. Thank you Arlex for your effort.

You are most welcome Sabih By the way, in 2.0.6 you can configure it under Settings > Users > Registration if you would like to disable re-confirm e-mail altogether
