Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

Hi All,

Can the shopping cart be made persistent for an anonymous journey by some configurable parameter. Currently OOTB, the shopping cart is a session based object so I would lose my shopping cart once I lose the session.

regards,

Jitender

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

There is code in place currently which will persist the shopping cart
into a shopping list each time it modified. There is a flag I believe
on the product store which enables/disables this behavior. The cart
is reloaded each time the user returns based on what is currently in
that special purpose shopping list.

Thanks Andy I will try that out but does it work only for the logged in user or for an anonymous user as well.
I thought shopping lists only worked with logged in users.

Actually I think you are right. It does only work for a logged in
user; since it needs to know who the cart is associated with.
Anonymous shoppers will have their cart in memory until the session
goes away. At that point, if they return there is no way of knowing
who they are.

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

There is actually a possible way of doing this based on the fairly
new Visitor entity. This was actually one of the intents of the
Visitor entity initially, though the need evaporated so it was never
developed.

David,

Could you suggest what changes would be required at a high level and is it a simple change or a complex one.

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

Jitender,

Being simple or complex depends on who is doing it and how familiar
they are with this particular part of the code. The actual work
shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, though it may require
some changes to a few methods that are involved with this to make
sure the Visitor information is available where it is needed. The
basic idea is simple: if not user is logged in still update the auto-
save shopping list, but use the visitorId instead of the partyId.

RE: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

In reply to this post by jitender.garg

Thanks David.

One more thing I have observed it doesn't fully support persistence of configurable items. Well it does persist from the cart to the list the main config product (forgets the configuration) but on retrieval from shopping list it doesn't retrieves the configurable product back into cart. Is it fixed in some later version or this is the current state of the functionality or is it by design?

regrads,

Jitender

Jitender,

I don't think anything has been implemented for this, though Jacopo
would know better as he wrote pretty much all of the configurable
product stuff. There is nothing that would implicitly persist
information about special types of products like configurable
products, so if persistence of additional information about them is
desired that has to be explicitly developed, and to my knowledge that
simply hasn't been done.

Jacopo Cappellato

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

Jitender,

David is right, this is not currently implemented.
The main problem is that the code to save a configuration is not
currently implemented at all (even if the data model is already in
place): so now a configuration can only live in memory/cart (wrapped in
a ProductConfigWrapper object) and when an order is created it is
transformed in a production run.
By the way, the original plan was to persist configurations (plus some
nice stuff) and probably in the future we will complete this effort: if
you are interested in working over this I'll be happy to give you some help.

Regards,

Jacopo

The field that turns this on and off for a store is

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

Thanks that seems to have done the trick. But in some cases the cart doesn't get emptied on logout and remains static (has the same contents) even if you login again with a different user.

Also, when you login, the contents added before logging in (or as a guest user) gets totally wiped out and is replaced by the cart for the user (ie the cart with contents the user had added on his previous logged in session). Anyway to fix this? i.e. the cart contents from prior to logging in should be clubbed with the contents loaded after logging in

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

I haven't had a chance to look at this, but it sounds like some code
changes are needed to fix these issues (which may have existed from
when this was implemented the first time, or may have been introduced
later as other things this uses have shifted around).

Re: Users - Re: Shopping Cart Persistence?

With a view to implement the above requirement, I decided to use the session object to store the cart existing prior to login. Then once the user logs in, I would add the items in this session object to the items in the users own cart which is retrieved after logging in ( i have 'auto-save' enabled).
I did this by adding the current cart into the session object with a different name in getCartObject() since that method is the most likely of the cart methods to be called during a session. But I also made sure this is done only if the user is not logged in by enclosing it in an 'if' condn. But in spite of this, the guest cart gets over written with the user's cart everytime he logs in. Can anyone explain why this should happen? I even moved my code into addtoCart() but to no avail.
Even if a new session is created when the user logs in, this custom cart should either remain the same or become null since it should get created only when the user is not logged in
