shooter-boy Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Hi All, I have one that i haven't managed to get my head around yet. I have an original front end site that I have built from scratch, and I am putting in an osC store. Sales is not the main intention of my website, just an addition. My own site uses sessions for various things, and I use my own link wrap function similar to the tep_href_link function to hold sessions without cookies. My questions is, does anyone know of a way to pass my session info to the osC site when the customer clicks on the store link from my normal site, and then back again (eg., doesn't lose cart if they go back to the regular site that I built and then back to the osC bit)? I thought that I could try and make the assigned session id equal the osCid or something, but as yet haven't worked anything that works properly. Unfortunately it is local, so I can't provide a link. It is just using the regular session support in php4, nothing special. Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Rob Bell - Inspired Graphix Customising osCommerce in Australia, and the world!

If you're using a header include file, it would be easy. This sounds a bit too simple ? maybe i'm missing something from your oringal post.
shooter-boy Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Hi David, Thanks for the post. I have tried to basically include the entire osC functions set!, but no luck. I even had session id's parsing in the URLs, but when i went back and forth from the regular site (still dynamic and SQL driven, just not osC) and the store, the ID changed. I tried writing the same cookies, entering isset functions to try and use original session id if it existed, but no luck. Probably just my bad coding, but not much I can do about it at this stage! LOL. Rob Rob Bell - Inspired Graphix Customising osCommerce in Australia, and the world! View my profile for web and email links.
