Answer 1

Try searching for $data['action'] variable in controller (register.php). It is there.

Answer 2

The solution is below. But please explain WHY you want to change it and maybe someone can offer some consultancy or a better solution...

The file is inside

/opencart/catalog/controller/account/register.php

The line is

$data['action'] = $this->url->link('account/register', '', 'SSL');

You can change it here if you wish. I would advice caution. Example would be to replace the line with:

// #CORECHANGE - Find later for upgrading
//$data['action'] = $this->url->link('account/register', '', 'SSL');
$newRegisterActionURL = "account/register/epos";
$data['action'] = $this->url->link($newRegisterActionURL, '', 'SSL');

Answer 3

The path for the html code for the register file in opencart project is:

/public_html/catalog/view/theme/megashop/template/account/register.tpl
