resoman Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hello, I have a great website thanks to OSC, and found some ways to manipulate other pages to work with it. at http://www.bavender.com/ you can click on any link and CONTINUE a session, however, starting a session is a whole different story. From what I can tell, a customer MUST either login or add a product from OSC to the cart in order to create a session ID. I have a custom shirt design page that creates a custom shirt and then adds it to the cart, then it just uses my cheap trick to store the custom shirt I designed. The trick I used? I just had ?osCsid= added to the end of each URL in order to continue the session ID on every page. I am sure some of this is confusing, but it works for the most part, however it is not 100% functional. Once a customer logs in, or actually adds a product that does create a session, well, that customer basket gets deleted because there was no real session stored! Any assistance would be helpful, tips, etc. I have done numerous searches on this previously thats how I came up with the ?osCsid= trick, however it doesnt meet my needs 100% Thanks in advance to all of you OSC guru's!

Under admin -> configuration -> sessions I have everything set as "TRUE" except "Force Cookie Use" I have that set as "FALSE" Then you might want to go to this forum to fix your session when not forcing cookies: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=182189 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
