1.5.8 Wanted features

Some requests concerning session.

  1. An easy way to avoid session start merged inside core without needings to hack the core itself. Reason are webservices.
    At this time there are a lots of third party services especially for webmarketing that need webservices like RFM (Recency-Frequency-Monetary) for customers segmentation, automatic funnel and events for mail lists or AI assisted searchs. Promise to release the webservice integration module for Zen.

  2. Remove the "Force cookies" options it's a nonsense for a shop session based and also the code is dangerous because it prevents session starting at first shot. This not allow quality checker like Google merchant to add products to cart. Maybe this is an old option but it is useless as the php session handling provide the session cookie and the zencart core is perfect from this point of view.

  3. Add automatic call to zen_hide_session_id in zen_draw_form if form use POST.

    I can't say I understand item 1. Item 2 from what I understand really is already a default basically in more current versions of php allowing the requirement to be in place without using an alternate code path within Zen Cart. Number 3 is already done in a way where the action is performed but without the specific call to zen_hide_session_id.

Note that all of these requested changes could be requested by making a pull request (PR) within the github project (https://github.com/zencart/zencart)
