User name availability

admamy · #1 02-27-2009, 07:59 PM

Is there a way to let the customer to check user name availability upfront while filling up the profile details instead of only knowing after submitting the form?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Afraid not

Altered Cart's Checkout One does a search for duplicate usernames (ajax) as soon as the customer enters a proposed username at checkout. Customer does not have to submit a form. Works great!

[edit] -- sorry, I forgot that you are using version 4.2 pro. C1 is only avail for 4.1 -- my apologies. At least it CAN be done with AJAX. Maybe Bill can custom code this for you?

Thanks Philj, I have tried it, seems it is not working with version 4.2. And, I noticed that, there do not have "<input type="text" id="uname" name="uname" size="32" maxlength="32" value="{if $userinfo.uname}{$userinfo.uname}{else}{$userinfo. login}{/if}" />" appearing twice in skin1/main/register_account.tpl for anonymous and non-anonymous registrations.

Anyway thanks, hope will find the solution soon.

Hi Phil, I've sent you a few emails last week. Can you confirm you got them. I've not heard back from you but see you are not on holiday.

Thanks
