cannot modify addresses

[justinswa]

OCS ver 2.2. When logged in as a customer and I go to My Account and try and edit an address, the URL shows as

 

https://mysite.net/~mysite//catalog/address_book_process.php?edit=37&osCsid=59e291af8226345b4d2b5eb66d33f293

 

And it just hangs.

 

Same problem if I try and delete and address.

 

Replacing address_book_process.php doesn't solve it so I'm guessing it is a problem with the sessionid, but everything else seem to work fine using sid's

 

Any ideas much appreciated...

a special module is available to remove the sid's, simply follow the instruction and you will be able to remove the session ids.

Please can you tell me where I can get this module to test? If I remove sids is it likely to mess up other things?

Removing the OSCID is just asking for problems. I know some developers do remove them from the URL but on a properly configured site, the OSCID 'hides' itself after a couple of clicks so personally I don't remove them.

force cookies to true and that will sort.

Make sure you have configured cookies right else it will display cookies page.

Haven't made any progress here. Still not working... Can't really understand why everything else on the site works fine with sid's except the the address_book_process.php file....

 

Forcing cookies didn't work for me. I use shared ssl and think I have the wrong value COOKIE_DOMAIN and COOKIE_PATH in my config file although I don't know how to work out what these should be. The site is tying to display cookie_usage.php but I removed that file a while ago as it seemed to be a "hackers console"

worked this one out. In case it helps anyone else:

 

In the file includes/languages/english/address_book_process.php, there is a line right at the bottom:

 

define('ERROR_ADDRESS_BOOK_FULL', 'Your address book is full. Please remove an address you don't need to save a new one.');

 

The apostrophe was breaking the site so needed removing. I guess you only get this problem when you have reached 5 addresses in you address book and try to modify or delete any addresses.

 

What a lot of bother for a sloppy bit of code........
