How to get a direct link to "Create your account" page without entering your email

Question

aaHey everyone, hope you doing well :)

I'm wanting to make the Create Your Account page as a link without entering your email that takes you to a separate registration page.

I have created a new controller and template file with name "inscription" and there is the codes

class InscriptionControllerCore extends FrontController
{
public $auth = true;
public $php_self = 'inscription';
public $authRedirection = 'inscription';
public $ssl = true;

    public function init()
{
    parent::init();


    if (Tools::getValue('create_account'))
        $this->create_account = true;
}

public function setMedia()
{
    parent::setMedia();
    $this->addCSS(_THEME_CSS_DIR_.'authentification.css');
}


/**
 * Assign template vars related to page content
 * @see FrontController::initContent()

    parent::initContent();

What I get when I enter to :mysite/index.php?controller=inscription it directly redirect me to mysite/index.php?control

Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

I found the solution by the way it is in this line

public $auth = true;

I should have removed it !! when I did it worked fine, thank you anyway

Answer 2

You can get the direct link to the Create Account form adding the parameter create_account=1, this will skip the email verification and go directly to the form.

For example:

{$link->getPageLink('authentication', true)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}?create_account=1
