Component : VirtueMart v.1.1.2 (for Joomla 1.5.x)

In the 'Register' form of VirtueMart, they miss out the 'Ms.' in the drop-down box for the Title of customer. You may want to add other titles as well. Here's how to do it.

There are two files you need to add some code.

1) Go to yoursite/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common/english.php

2) Scroll down to line 352 onwards where you will see something like this ('Ms.' already added here in red text). Save the file.

'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_NONE' => 'none',
'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MR' => 'Mr.',
'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MRS' => 'Mrs.',
'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MS' => 'Ms.',
'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_DR' => 'Dr.',
'PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_PROF' => 'Prof.',

3) Next, go to yoursite/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_html.php

4) Scroll down to line 120 onwards and add the code in red

$title = array($VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MR'),
 $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MRS'),
 $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_MS'),
 $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_DR'),
 $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_PROF'));

5) Save and refresh.

Note : If you want to add other titles, you need to create new constants in this format PHPSHOP_REGISTRATION_FORM_whatever_your_title_is

Have fun!
