Hello all

I just realized that items in opencart cart get delete once every hour with the below query

$this->db->query("DELETE FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "cart WHERE (api_id > '0' OR customer_id = '0') AND date_added < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR)");

Unfortunately because of the way the query works if I add 3 products in my cart with 5 minutes interval between them and return in one hour to the page two of them will be there and one will be deleted. The query deletes products from basket based on their individual timestamps. I think that's far from ideal. Its one thing to delete everything from a basket and another to mess with someone's basket like that.

How could one extend the time items stay in the cart to say 24hrs?Would simply changing the INTERVAL above do it? or do we need to change settings somewhere else as well?

Should work

Code: Select all

$this->db->query("DELETE FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "cart WHERE (api_id > '0' OR customer_id = '0') AND date_added < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 24 HOUR)");
or

Code: Select all

$this->db->query("DELETE FROM " . DB_PREFIX . "cart WHERE (api_id > '0' OR customer_id = '0') AND date_added < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 48 HOUR)");

thank you for your kind and prompt answer

When/How often is public function __construct($registry) { } called?

That's the one which includes the above cart command and would like to get an idea when it resets.

1) server reboot?
2) apache restart?
3) other function calls it?

many thanks

I would guess every page request.

Something really odd going on

I have now amended to 12 hours and restarted server but still the cart empties after one hour. I’m using journal and cleared cache

Any ideas what might be calling the function and deleting the cart items?

no need for cleaning anything, just set it to 10 SECOND and see the items disappear very quickly.

If you want to change the behaviour (so it deletes the whole cart instead of one item at a time) then you'll need to group the delete by the session_id with something like:

Code: Select all

DELETE oc_cart
FROM oc_cart JOIN (
  SELECT session_id
  FROM oc_cart
  WHERE (api_id > '0' OR customer_id = '0')
  GROUP BY session_id
  HAVING MAX(date_added) < DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 HOUR)
 ) AS x
 ON oc_cart.session_id = x.session_id
Have made a mod (attached) that does that and it seems to work. That said, it's only had a very quick test and the query could probably do with being optimised.

Where are you making your changes? It might be that a mod or extension you have installed is modifying system/library/cart/cart.php and somehow causing your changes to be overwritten/ignored.

If you want to make a temporary change (just for testing/debugging etc,.) to a file that's been affected by an extension/modification, you'll need to edit the modified copy of that file in your 'storage/modification' dir rather than editing the actual file. Note that your changes will be lost the moment you click 'refresh' in the 'Modifications' section of the admin panel, when everything in 'storage/modification' will be regenerated.

This mod empties the whole cart for visitors if the most recent item in their cart is more than an hour old.
