Keep Cart Module - cart won't empty after checkout

[lankeeyankee]

There might be a setting that needs to be changed in your admin configuration. What are the settings in admin>configuration>sessions? These are mine:

Cookie Domain True
Force Cookie Use False
Check SSL Session ID False
Check User Agent False
Check IP Address False
Prevent Spider Sessions True
Recreate Session False
IP to Host Conversion Status true
Keep Vistors Cart True
Days Before Cart Expires 365
Keep Cart Secret Key xxxxx

Recreate Session False

That should almost ALWAYS be set to True.
Leaving it set to false could put you at risk of session hijacking.


There are RARE server configurations that cause the store to break if it's set to True, and thus the option to set it to False is offered ... but still has the same caveat. MUCH BETTER is to fix the bad server configuration if you care about customer privacy and security.

Thank you very much for your support. You are so good. Your cart was empty after checkout because there was not in stock after...if the product is in stock apears in cart.. that gives me an idea to play with the code in part that handles the cart depended if it is in stock after checkout. (sorry for my english)

Does the Fast & Easy Checkout mod give you the option to turn the Checkout Confirmation page on/off? You need the final checkout confirmation screen for keep cart to work correctly.

If you turn the Fast & Easy Checkout mod off does Keep Cart then work correctly?

Christian.

Oh, wow, I didn't realize that at all!! Thanks for the info!! There are so many aspects that are little-understood. I have made the change. What about Force Cookie Use? Is it best to leave as false? Any other settings in sessions that I should change for best security practices and site performance?

Yes. the defaults are set to cover most server and browser set ups.
