SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED - combine shopping cart

v1.3.8

Where is this variable defined and I can only find it referenced in
header_php.php

I would like to not combine shopping cart tiems..ie
no persistent shopping cart.

Thanks!

When looking for a constant, it is either a define statement or part of the Configuration ...

To see which, use the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ...

In the bottom input box, adding:
SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED

and selecting Catalog/Admin then clicking Search will show all places that it is used and defined in the php files ...

In the Top input box, adding:
SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED

and selecting NONE and then clicking Search will show if it is defined as a configuration_key in the configuration table or the product_type_layout table ...

This will give its value as well as a link to take you to the Configuration section where you can edit the value ...

Thanx, very useful info. However, as I can see, there is no option to avoid keeping contents in the cart... This variable is only for checking weather the notice will be shown or not.

but it seems to be out of date ...

Any suggestions?

It works perfectly fine to empty the shopping cart when the customer logs in ...

Have you tried it? :unsure:

Thanx! :smile:

I was unsure weather it is still valid because I found the relevant line among many If statements ... and the date was 2006 ...

Of course it works great! :clap:

Thanks for the update and confirming that this did work for you to empty the customers cart when they sign in ... :smile:

Actually I just found a problem ...

When -as a guest- I have some contents in my shopping cart and try to checkout I will be redirected to the login page.

When logging in successfully, I get the following error:

Login Time Out
Sorry, but you are not allowed to perform the action requested.
You are still logged in to your account and may continue shopping. Please choose a destination from a menu.

Tricky!

Kind regards,

Commenting out the line ```php
// restore cart contents
$_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();

seems like it gets the job done.
