Clearing cart contents on success page

Hi Guys,

I know that this has been talked about on the forums but every solution i have tried fails to work.

Background.

Front end shopping cart works fine. I also have a secondary shopping cart in the admin side to add order's to the database if items are purchased off site.

This works well except

When you put an order through the cart keeps the previous shopping details.

Solution i have tried also destroys the login session so i have to log back in after checkout which is not a desirable outcome, but the cart is cleared.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Jonathon

Added my Confirm and Checkout success pages.

I have also noticed that when checking out that it over writes the last order. I am guessing that its not clearing the user session variables also.

Look at your login page to determine the sessions that are created at login.

on the checkout success page, edit the Clear Session behavior, instead of selecting the clear all option. Select to clear only some, and leave the sessions set by the login un selected.

Hi Jason,

I have quite a list of session variables. As can be seen from the screen grab.

As opposed to listing all of the sessions to clear and leaving the session left by the log in (SecurityAssist_SiteSettings), Is there a way to select the log in and clear the rest?

if not, what would be the sessions I need to clear from the attached screen grab.

Kind regards

No there is not a way to select only the ones to keep, you can only select the ones to clear.

you select all of the seessions that are not associated to the login.

the only other option is to hand code the session destroy. Doing this, you will need to set the login sessions to an application variable, then reset them after clearing, for example:

<?php

// Initialize the session.

// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!

@session_start();



// save User ID session

$UserID = $_SESSION['UserID']



// Unset all of the session variables.

$_SESSION = array();



// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.

// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!

if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {

    $params = session_get_cookie_params();

    @setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,

        $params["path"], $params["domain"],

        $params["secure"], $params["httponly"]

    );

}



// Finally, destroy the session.

@session_destroy();

@session_regenerate_id();

//reset user id session

$_SESSION['UserID'] = $UserID;

?>

Hi Jason,

I get a syntax error when I paste this code into DW.

$_SESSION = array(); is highligted

and this is my code

<?php
// Initialize the session.
// If you are using session_name("something"), don't forget it now!
@session_start();

// save User ID session
$UserID = $_SESSION['SecurityAssistSiteSettingsID']

// Unset all of the session variables.
$_SESSION = array();

// If it's desired to kill the session, also delete the session cookie.
// Note: This will destroy the session, and not just the session data!
if (ini_get("session.use_cookies")) {
$params = session_get_cookie_params();
@setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000,
$params["path"], $params["domain"],
$params["secure"], $params["httponly"]
);
}

// Finally, destroy the session.
@session_destroy();
@session_regenerate_id();
//reset user id session
$_SESSION['SecurityAssistSiteSettingsID'] = $UserID;
?>

sorry, this line:
$UserID = $_SESSION['SecurityAssistSiteSettingsID']

needs a semicolon at the end:
$UserID = $_SESSION['SecurityAssistSiteSettingsID'];

Hi Jason,

I am still required to log back into admin after check out.

I have attached my log in page and checkout page in case its obvious.

Would you be good enough to have a look at my pages.

kind regards

Jonathon

I dont see the login page attached?

Sorry here it is now

so the session being created at login is:
SecurityAssist_SiteSettingsID

so you need to store that session to an application variable:
$SecurityAssist_SiteSettingsID = $_SESSION['SecurityAssist_SiteSettingsID'];


then reset it after the session is destroyed:

$_SESSION['SecurityAssist_SiteSettingsID'] = $SecurityAssist_SiteSettingsID;
