Re: [cart]=

texte = I'm reading this to mean that if a visitor removes the actual cart number, taking the url down to just cart= that you have problems. Yes, if they then go to that url (not refresh). You lose the cart. Not sure why a person would do that, but never underestimate the site visitors.I always put [showif [raw][cart][/raw]=[cart]][redirect http://www.domain.com][/showif] at the top of all of my checkout pages to redirect a visitor back to the homepage if they've somehow lost their cart (cart=[raw][cart][/raw]). In your case, I guess you'd also need a [showif [raw][cart][/raw]=][redirect http://www.domain.com][/showif] to accomplish the same thing. All links coming from the home page will then reassign a new cart. Again, yes the customer will have lost their cart, but there's nothing else you can do except to always pass links in a form method=post.GKAt 07:47 AM 6/22/2004, you wrote:>Just a quick question to get a feel for how other people deal with this.>>If the URL in the location bar is changed to contain >"www.domain.com/index.tpl?cart=" then the value "cart=" seems to be passed >along throughout the site (via cart=[cart] links).>>I assume that although WebCat will automatically assign a cart if one >doesn't already exist, in this case I guess it sees that something - IE: >"Nothing" - has been assigned.>>Can WebCat be forced to assign a new Cart ref?>>Also, when the cart is set this way, when you try to add an item to the >cart, Webcat always reports>"This shopping cart has already been submitted and is pending approval">>Any thoughts?>>Mark.-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
