we are using version 1.3.7
Today , I come across a new problem which is serious for those sites that handle large variety of items,.
I wonder if someone have a solution for this?
a customer adds + 60- 70 different products in the shopping cart.
I mean the number of products IDs, not the quantity per item.
so, the shopping cart is full with a very long list of items
( the problem start after about 50-60 product Ids).
the customer, already logged In, goes to view cart
then customer goes to next page to chose shipping ( this action goes pretty slow)
then, continue to next page, ( chosing payment, coupons, etc) , this action is IMPOSSIBLE, it never pass, this page TIME OUT.
Resuming , the customer CAN"T checkout, with so many items in the shopping cart.
We've tried at morning, at night , at afternoon, with hight speed internet connection, it doesn't work.
the hosting servers are fast and working well. Other sites ( not Zen Cart) on the same servers, even those with mysql database are working fast.
My programmers are telling me, they way zen cart works, that needs to read, load each item one by one , is probably the root of the problem.
I can't believe, ZC will have such limitation, that can't handle not even 100 product ids in one go.
Anyone knows of a solution for this ?
many thanks
