Saved Cart Items From Last Session

[lucchesi]

Hi all,

I would like to be able to make it so that each time a customer's session is over any items the person had in their cart are automatically taken out. In other words, right now my customers can add items to their cart and when they login it saves this info for them so that the next time they come back the items are still in their cart. Is there any way to disable this in the admin? If it is not a setting then if anyone point me to the code that would allow me to disable this? I am php proficient so if you could just tip me off on where to go about doing this in code I would appreciate it.

Thank you all for your support.

Have you had any luck with this?

I could use the same thing - desperate :)

If you want the shopping cart to empty of old products from a previous login ... but not lose the current sessions of products that the customer has been shopping for the last hour ...

Edit the file:

/includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

Comment out the restore and add the cleanup:

// restore cart contents
//    $_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();
// empty old cart products
    $_SESSION['cart']->cleanup();

This is the cleanest method that I can find to manage the cart content when:

1 guest is shopping and hits Checkout ... goes to login and has an existing account and old products in cart

2 guest shopping and hits login to create an account

3 guest is shopping and hits login to create an account and goofs and is changed to create_account

4 guest is shopping and hits login to existing account with old cart of products

In all scenarios, all that will be in the shopping_cart following the successful login or create account will be products from the current session ...

All old products from a previous session will be removed silently in the background ...

No, no ... no need for applause ... just send money ... B)

I know this thread is old. But for anyone else looking for this, during paypal express checkout is not sufficient to add this code to /includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

But you must also add it to: /includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php

just search for the line with:

$_SESSION['cart']->restore_content();

and replace it with the code Ajeh provided

this works for me as of v1.3.9h
