We seem to have cracked it,catlog / includes/application_top to

 

// start the session

$session_started = false;

if (SESSION_FORCE_COOKIE_USE == 'False') {

 

this seems to bypass any cookie error messages appearing and they redirect fine to the site. Thanks for everyones help :-)

i got this code from this url:

That did nothing for me BUT I may have found a partial solution for my "cookie" problem!

 

Ok my current problem is a LOT of customers are being directed to the "cookie usage page" when they want to checkout. They are mostly ladies in their 60's and older; they get frustrated and leave.

 

I am running 2.2 MS2 with SID Killer and Session Start Mod installed (among a dozen other things). So far this is working but I will repost if there are more "issues" or if anyone wants to take a look for themselves http://bestsewingdeals.com and get back to me that would be great too, especially if you can help! ;-)

 

In catalog/includes/application_top.php look for:

// Shopping cart actions
 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'])) {
// redirect the customer to a friendly cookie-must-be-enabled page if cookies are disabled
   if ($session_started == false) {
     tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_COOKIE_USAGE));
   }

And change it to:

// Shopping cart actions
 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'])) {
// redirect the customer to the login page if cookies are disabled
   if ($session_started == false) {
     tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN));
   }

Once the customer logs in, no more "cookie" issue because there is now a "session."

 

HOWEVER, I am still having two problems...

 

Before I changed it, if someone clicked on a banner ad it took them to "cookie usage" until they "created a session" by adding something to the cart, logging in, etc. NOW it takes them to the login page. Either way it doesn't take them to the page the banner was supposed to take them until a session has started, then it works perfectly.

 

And now the "robots" can create a session because they get directed to the "login" page!

 

Any ideas on either of those??? Please??? Honestly, I can live with the bots for now, happy customers are more important than bots running around the site but the ad thing is a little annoying.

 

Blessings,
