BuyNow & Shopping_cart.php session problems


McClay

Recommended Posts

I have a problem with a small store that I am building. I am using 2.2-CVS from Dec. 4 2002.

 

When I add a product to the shopping cart via a buynow button on a remote page, it does not always get added to the cart correctly. When I click on the BuyNow button, sometimes the item shows up in the cart, sometimes it does not. I have not been able to pin down the exact cause of it due to it being a completely random event. The second problem which I assume is related, is that when items are in the shopping cart, if I select the remove box or change the quantity, and click on the Update button, it does not always update the shopping cart contents.

 

Originally I assumed that the problem was tied to my BuyNow button being on a page outside of the /catalog/ until I noticed that the Update seemed to have the same problem within the actual shopping cart.

 

There was an older article http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/viewtopic.php...ighlight=buynow that seems similar, but doesnt appear to have a resolution, if anybody has had this problem, and was able to fix it please let me know.

 

To see what I am talking about you can go to a remote buynow test page of my site at http://www.quickwriter.com/temp/factsalign.php The store is not live yet, so feel free to play with it.

you do not have a session id on that buy now link so the moment someone refusing cookies orders and then orders again it 'deletes' the cart.

 

solution: copy the session inintiating code from application_top.php to the

'outside catalog' buy now and create a link with the session id appended to it. Function to do that is in catalog/includes/functions/general.php and is called tep_href_link();
