Hi all,

 

A strange error has just been brought to my attention from a customer who tried to place a multiple order last night. Their previous order was on 28th May 2013 and this error seems to have crept in since then.

 

I have greeting cards in my shop with options of large and small which have different prices. set for them. If you add 2 large cards and 2 small cards to your basket, the cart only shows 4 large cards. If you only add 2 small cards and then decide later to add 2 large cards, the cart shows 4 small cards.

 

Try it at http://calligrahpyarts.co.uk and please let me know what you think.

 

Using version 4.9.4 r25 (was using 4.9.4 r26 and have just downgraded in case this was the problem)

 

I notice that 4.9.4 r25 (update 31st May 2013) had a shopping cart update to fix a problem as listed below:

 

Shopping Cart > Adding a product to the cart more than once causes 2 entries to be listed for the same product.

 

Could r25 be the issue? If so, how can I revert back to an earlier version?

 

Many thanks,

 

Nick

Seamed to work fine for me nick.
The ssl cert. not so much.
You may want to check your ssl Ca bundle.

Hi Dresswell,

 

Oddly, this product seems to work okay maybe because it has subcategories as well as price variation: http://calligraphyar...4&=SID#MOREINFO

 

But it goes wrong when you try this type of product where it only has price variation: http://calligraphyar...5&=SID#MOREINFO - if you order 2 large and 2 standard it fails...

 

The ssl seems to work okay for me - what do you think is wrong there?

Hi Nick.
If you want to send me your soho login i will take a look.
The ssl has a security warning in IE when you go to checkout.
That is usually caused by not having or having an old CA bundle.

I think I may have found an answer - after the last couple of updates, you now need to have at least one character placed in the 1st row sub category list. I placed a dot "." and it seems to work for one of the products. Looks like an edit to the rest of the products in my shop.

[dresswell]

Glad you found a workaround.
Everything in your setup is fine.

And I've fixed the SSL reporting error. It was the Civic UK cookie law address plus the Device Atlas address that were causing the problems. Okay so I don't have a cookie law notice for the moment and I can't auto redirect to my mobile site, but at least I can let people stop being concerned about my SSL certificate.

 

All the problems were found with this very useful website http://www.whynopadlock.com which I was told about by GoDaddy. Now I must thank them too.

[dresswell]

You should be able to adjust the call in the

code for your cookie law notice and the mobile link.

Unfortunately, the cookie law was calling up images that weren't on my site. I'll try to fix that soon enough. The code writers have a new version coming out in a few days, so I'll give it a go later on. The other issue may be fixable if I remove the code from the template and place it on to each standard page, that way it won't get called when the checkout page is reached...

 

Here's something though, when you reach the checkout successfully in https and then decide to Continue Shopping, the site calls https for each standard page which I don't really want. Can this be stopped at all?

[dresswell]

Hi Nick.

It may be easier to add a cart.html to the template file. 

 

cart.html - Custom shopping cart template. If found in your template folder, it will be used in place of index.html on shopping cart system pages (as in: when website visitor is browsing/purchasing products via your online checkout process).

 

Just copy the index.html file of the template and remove the offending code.

Name it  cart.html and add it to the template folder.

Thanks Dresswell - cart.html worked nicely.

 

Now how do you make the website go to http:// instead of https:// when you are at the checkout and decide you want to continue shopping or go to any other link on the checkout pages?

Unfortunately, the cookie law was calling up images that weren't on my site.

 

One should NEVER leach objects from other sites.  Just a bad programming practice.  Bandwidth theft is what it amunst to for one thing.  For another you have ZERO control over that cource object so if the owner of that object changes it they change your web site.  I once noticed a webmaster stealing bandwidth off of one of my sites (images) and after repeated requestes to have him stop with no resolution, I simply changes that images in question to ones that I can promise you he did not want on his christian based web site.  Problem solved!

In most cpanels you can leach protect any directory if you do not want
them to use your pics.
Some people don't mind as it is considered an inbound link to your site.

You could add something like this to your .htaccess file.
Changing the (your site URL) to your URL.

 

 

 

Options +FollowSymLinksRewriteEngine on
# redirect for http /shoppingRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 
=80RewriteRule ^shopping/?$ https://your site URL/shopping 
[R=301,QSA,L,NE]
# redirect for https non /shoppingRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 
=443RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopping [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://your site URL/$1 
[R=301,QSA,L,NE]

I fully understand about the options in cPanel thanks.  Still it is a bad idea for any webmaster to give control of his sote to an outside party.  Just not good.
