One-Page Checkout [Support Thread]

[njcyx]

Hi @lat9, thanks for your response. I suspected there is something wrong with my www & https redirect in .htaccess file, so sometimes it will cause expired session issue. I tried a different snippet code in .htaccess now and it resolved this issue.

Thanks for your help again.

One more update. Unfortunately, "Whoops! Your session has expired." issue on order_status page on my site is still there. If I opened an Incognito windows or clean my browsers' cookies, and if I directly visit the order_status page, after I submit the form, I will see the expired session note there. But if I visited any links on my site at first then visit order_status page, it will function properly.

The updated htaccess file seems to fix my Go Back & Go Forward error then.

I tried an OPC demo site and that site worked fine. So it is something wrong on my site then. Well well, another headache on my site then...

2nd update. Hi @lat9, for your demo site, can you please help me to check if your admin/configuration/sessions/force cookie use is set to true or false?

My site is set to true. After I changed it to false, my order_status page works properly. If your site is set to false, you can set it to true and see if you can reproduce my issue.

I tried to search force cookie use in the forum and I could only find some very old posts. So in zc 1.57d, is it recommended to set it as true or false?

I normally don't change the Configuration :: Sessions settings for my test sites, so the site's setting for Force Cookie Use is set to False there (the default). When I change that setting to True on my localhost test site, I do see the issue you identified.

Noting that it doesn't need to be incognito.

Thanks for your help! I set it to false now.

FWIW, I've opened an issue (https://github.com/lat9/one_page_checkout/issues/348) on the OPC GitHub repository to correct that unwanted behavior when the setting is 'True'.

I've just submitted v2.4.2 of One-Page Checkout for the Zen Cart moderators' review and will post back here when it's available for download (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2095).

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#332: Guest shipping-address overwritten if billing address is changed.
#334: Disable Confirm/Review buttons until terms/privacy are agreed to.
#335: Correct 'languages_id' warning when cart's restored by "Keep Cart".
#338: Display HTML in status-history comments for all but the first, customer-entered, one.
#339: Remove extraneous language constants from ot_coupon and ot_gv overrides.
#340: Check for terms/privacy acceptance only if no previous redirect detected.
#341: Correct warnings (or PHP 8 errors) when 'credit covers' an order.
#342: Don't default guest-checkout state selections to the store's zone/state; require a selection.
#343: Correct interaction with square_webPay payment module.
#344: Convert language files to adhere to zc158 language-file naming conventions.
#345: Remove unneeded template-override language file.
#346: Document additional payment modules supported (authorizenet_cim and authorizenet_cof).
#347: PayPal Express Checkout proceeds to OPC if the cart's changed ... it shouldn't!
#348: order_status: Correct handling for stores that use Force Cookie Usage set to 'True'.

Hi @lat9, I just updated my OPC to 2.4.2 and it worked good!

I just tested my site for your issue #347 mentioned above (PayPal Express Checkout proceeds to OPC if the cart's changed ... it shouldn't!)

If I click "PayPal express checkout" in the shopping cart page, I will redirect to PayPal. Then after I entered my paypal info and redirect back to ZC, I will see the traditional 3-page checkout. The first page is to ask the shipping method, then second page is asked about payment. But in this second page, I can only see the total summary and I can leave a note for this order, but nothing else. Should I see some texts like, PayPal is selected for the payment of this order?

I disabled OPC and tried again, but I see the same content for the 2nd page. Not sure if that is correct.

Update. If I go to shopping cart and change the products quantity, then click Checkout button, I can still see the traditional 3-page checkout (not OPC, which is correct). But in the second page, I can see Payment method section here and PayPal Checkout button is selected by default.

That's how the traditional 3-page checkout works when the checkout process is started via the PayPal Express Checkout button.
