When a member registers and user name is already taken
Permalink
Hi
I have been testing my site out before launch and noticed that when try to register with my site and choose a user name that i know is already taken that after you click on submit you do not get a prompt telling you that user name is already taken.
Instead the page just refreshed back to same page the way before i clicked submit.
How are my members supposed to know that the problem is that user name is already taken.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.

I still have this problem
is your register page themed?
Yes it is themed
in the view.php it most likely does not have a piece of code in it to display errors, if it is atleast 5.4.2, you should be able to add Loader::element('system_errors');
Ok thanks. I friend of mine who is a programmer edited the register page for me so it fitted in with the theme i purchased.
Are you saying that before he did this that if somebody tried to registered with an already taken username thy were given a written prompt on screen of "user name already taken"?

woah, did he directly edit /single_pages/register.php? thats not how you are supposed to do it,
Im not sure what he did. I just wanted the plain default white registration page to fit in with the theme of my site so user felt like there were not leaving the site to join and he was able to make it match the theme i download from C5 marketplace.
I looked in view.php file and cannot see the code you mentioned
add that snippet where you want it
ok, i am really a novice at this. We are talking about the view.php file that i can see on my host files.
The view file is in this folder. Theme I'm using is natural leather black.
public_html/mysitename/packages/naturalleather/themes/natural_leather_black/view.php
My files are backed up so i can always revert back if i screw it up right.
Thanks
