Hi,

If I change the cookie currency value from USD to JPY, for example, from an external myOCsite.com/currencyswitch.php page like this:

Code: Select all

$ccode='JPY';
setcookie('currency', $ccode, time() + 60 * 60 * 24 * 30, '/', ".myOCsite.com");

I can verify the currency value is set to JPY in the cookie via the cookie viewer in Chrome.

**BUT**

When I ctrl-r my opencart browser window, USD still loads. And when I check the cookie value in Chrome, it has changed back to USD.

Can anyone shed some light on this? What am I missing? I'm trying to create a separate page on my OC site that loads fast and has a currency switcher, all my code, just accessing the OC db.

thanks,

takayuki

If you look at the code for currency cookie, the session value takes precedence.

Thanks for the reply. One step closer to a solution. Where are the session values stored for Opencart?

Code: Select all

print_r($_SESSION);

does not return any values.

Thanks,

See.

Are you looking after the session is started?
