[SOLVED] Wishlist Issues

Greetings,
Wow, got a good one here.
Using Opencart 4.1.0.3 php version 8.3.23

Wishlist issues and I will try to explain this the best I can.

Add item to wishlist, does not update immediately, at the top of website page: wishlist(0)
Can make it update by refreshing the page, clicking on wishlist(0), or selecting another page.

Inside wishlist page, item is there, add to cart button and remove button.
Click add to cart and it does so, but does not remove item from wishlist,
even after the item has been purchased.

Here's where it gets crazy.

After purchase, without logging out, go back to wishlist to remove the item.
Click remove button and two pages appear at the same time.
One is the wishlist, with a balloon informing the item has been removed.
(Which the item has NOT been removed)
The other is the login page with a warning "Invalid token session, please log in again"
The login page is on top of the wishlist page, lower and slightly to the right of the screen.
Looks like the right column of the wishlist over the login page.
You can see the headers and the footers of both pages,
and indeed the user is logged out.
I've included a screenshot.


Error in the Admin log.
2025-08-03 19:54:42 - PHP Warning: unlink(/home/gunowner/ocartdata1/storage/cache/cache.product.ae27f156d9efe2e256530f5eebca82b0.1754261552): No such file or directory in /home/gunowner/public_html/system/library/cache/file.php on line 37

Something that may be relevent is the "Invalid token session, please log in again".

When testing emails after a customer purchase, the link in the customer email goes to the login page with that message.
I thought that could be normal, but I also thought it should go to their order page. (If thy have not manually logged out.)
or at least go to the login without the message, like it does after a manual logout.
(I changed the message to read "Please Log In Again, Thank You")

Also, when checking out, I notice that sometimes I would get logged off for no reason,
when filling out the address, shipping method, payment method. Usually after clicking the payment method button,
and more often when filling the form out manually. ? Thought maybe user error ?

Hope you folks can help.
Thanks,
Dan

A few things ...

What theme are you using?
Most developers don't recommend OC4 at this point.
This probably may well be caching at your web host so you should ask them.

Using the default opencart theme.

I emailed my hosting server, who also is a good friend of mine and he said:

"We are not caching anything on the server. There is caching of code in
OpenCart but I don't think that would cause the issues you are showing. I'm
sure you are refreshing the code cache on the OpenCart dashboard after
making code changes.

I created an account and was able to reproduce the issue. It seems like the
problem is with the "Remove the wish list item" where it seems to be
resetting the session and logging you out. If I log back in and go to wish
list then it shows that the item I removed is still there. "

Yes I do refresh after I make coding changes, but in this case I did not make any changes.
I was just checking my site to make sure everything is working and have never checked the wish list before.

The issues of the wish list not updating and the error when trying to delete seem to be bugs in 4.1.0.3.

So, can anyone here let me know if these "bugs" can be fixed ?

At this point most top developers recommend using 3.0.4.1.

The problem with the wishlist updating at the top is it's not being targeted anymore, semi hacky way to fix it for now:

catalog\view\javascript\common.js

Find:

Below it add:
Will look at the signing out error later.

To fix the logout issue:

catalog\controller\account\wishlist.php

Find Replace with:

Exel !
Thank you ! Now at least it doesn't show the bizarre double page and removes the item and keeps me logged in !
Some code and the addition of a little word "else"
Are you for hire?

Where did you got stuck?

Hey khnaz35,
How are you doing, just going through my site. A lot of things good, a lot of thing not so good.
Wish List was really screwed up, but as it turns out it fairly easy if you're you or Excel knowing what to do.
Wish List still needs tweaked but at least now it doesn't lock up the site.
If a customer would want to return something, I, the admin, wouldn't know immediately because it doesn't send the admin an email notice.
The compare doesn't work. Probably other stuff too.
I guess I should do what everybody else is saying, use 3.0.4.1
but if it's the simple things like adding a line of code here, and the word "else" there, I think it could work out ok.
Hope you all are well, and I really appreciate the help in this forum

Feel free to post a list and explanation of the things not working and I can take a look at them

Thank you ! I will. Ready? LOL I will start some new topics.

The above solution resulted in 500 errors, I have tweaked the function as follows, and works without issue: It's just a matter of the missing customer token. Hope this helps someone.

Code: Select all

	/**
	 * List
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function list(): void {
		$this->load->language('account/wishlist');

		if (!$this->load->controller('account/login.validate')) {
			$token = isset($this->session->data['customer_token']) ? '&customer_token=' . $this->session->data['customer_token'] : '';
			$this->session->data['redirect'] = $this->url->link('account/wishlist', 'language=' . $this->config->get('config_language') . $token);
		}

		$this->response->setOutput($this->getList());
	}

It's just a matter of the missing customer token. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks cgarofalo,
I don't remember getting any 500 errors, and still have not with Exel's solution.
I tried your solution and it works great also !
Thank you for your time. I'm sure it will help others too.
It's guys like you and the rest of the folks that post here, that help out others, that makes this forum great !
Thank you all,
Dan
