Lost Cart on Return

Lost Cart on Return

ECart 5 -- payment.php submits a donation total to the third party payment portal. Return URL is success.php.

For some reason the cart is clearing either before opening the payment portal page, or upon loading of success.php, so the return is being redirected.

Cart is saved in SESSION, not cookies. The same process worked fine last year.

What changed? Pages attached.

are you changing domains from the cart page to the success page?


sessions are based on the domain, if you change domains, the session will be lost.

Yes -- I'm pretty sure it worked that was last year.

So the solution is to store the session data in cookies -- I know the cookie data is sensitive to how the domain is specified.

Do I need to specify a domain??

if you need to change domains, you need to p[ass the cart to the new domain in a form, then repopulate the cart.

see the following tutorial for detials:
ecart_ssl_ht.php

If I read this right I follow the instructions from "Modify the checkout page to receive your cart values" on my checkout page. Checkout them goes to confirm, and then I use a subsequent payment page to navigate to the SSL payment portal.

Right??

seams to me from the page you sent that it is the payment page that is changing the domain:

<form class="eC_Simple_Pacifica_Arial" action="https://pcisecure.diamondmindschools.com/cart/cart.php" method="POST">
Donation Total:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="text" size="8" name="amount" value= <?php echo WA_eCart_DisplayMoney($ccds, $ccds->GrandTotal()); ?> />

by posting to the cart.php page.

That's true. So then I make the Get Content From Form modification to payment.php, right?

ETA: I'm just sending a donation total to the remote portal -- there are no order details being transmitted. . .

no, add the cart corm to the payment page.

add the populate cart from form behavior to the cart.php page.
