Resolved CMC & template override

Hi!

I have a template override for user registration and checkbox (in fact whole fieldset) for mailchimp subscription doesn't appear.
Because of the site specifics I'm calling registration form fields separately like this:


<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('address'); ?>

<?php echo $this->form->getInput('address'); ?>


Of course, checkbox is shown if using default registration page without template override.
I've looked inside com_cmc code and tried to figure out what to change to get this working, but without success.
I saw function build() in helpers/xmlbuilder.php but didn't get any further.

I would really need this and would need a little guidance/help from your side.
I guess it would help all the others that are using template overrides.

Thanks!

Hey Elvis,
So actually we extend the default registration form. If you do var_dump($this->form) you should see all the mailchimp fields in there. You can call them separately.

Cheers,
Daniel
Please if you use our extensions be so kind and review them at JED

Hi!

I have put this project of mine to the side, but now I want to move on.
Like you said, CMC fields are there.
But if I called them separately like this
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('cmc_newsletter'); ?>

and
<?php echo $this->form->getInput('cmc_listid'); ?>

they aren't displayed.

I saw a little difference in field rendering between Joomla core fields and CMC fields when using default registration:
Joomla fields are rendered like
<input type="text" name="jform[city]" id="jform_city" value="" class="required" size="30"/>

and then I call them like this:
<?php echo $this->form->getLabel('city'); ?>

But CMC fields have additional value [cmc] inside name tag:
<input type="checkbox" name="jform[cmc][newsletter]" id="jform_cmc_newsletter" value="1" class="inputbox cmc-checkboxes cmc-checkbox-subscribe">

Is this the reason why these fields aren't displayed if I call them the way I did?
What am I missing?

I've managed to solve this.
I missed two important things:
[ol]
[li]There is a hidden field which CMC uses (cmc_listid)[/li]
[li] I've forgot to create fields in com_users/models/forms xml files[/li]
[/ol]

So fields are displayed in registration and profile views, I didn't test yet, if mailchimp works, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't.
