Title: Update to J3.4.7 - cant add item to shopping cart
Post by: sabikeuk on December 23, 2015, 10:02:09 AM
Hello,
after update to the newest Joomla 3.4.7 I have difficulties to add item to cart. I was able to add item to cart once from 5 occasions but wasnt able to register/checkout.
When I changed Session Handler to NONE, its OK but if its as Database there is problem to add product to cart and finish checkout.

Please could someone help ASAP. My site is e-commerce site and live.

J3.4.7
Virtuemart 3.0.8
PHP 5.6

Had the same problem..

dump all cookies, clear caches, close browser and restart .. finally mine came good.. don't know which one did it

if still doesn't work then check an 3rd party stuff using $_SESSION .. if it interacts with Joomla/VM it should use the JSession now

why is your VM so old?

Thank you for advice.....

I did the same yesterday. cleared everything, flushed static server cache and it solved the issue. But I tried it today and had the same issue so assuming its not working correctly again.

I have updated VM to 3.0.12 yesterday but with errors and had issues so have reverted it back to stable 3.0.8

How do I check $_SESSION ?

Apparently a new session patch for Joomla! (possibly J3.4.8 ?) is likely to be released soon, as too many users are having problems.   http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=3352643#p3352540

Yes I did clear cookies, as well as browser cache, server static cache.

When I accessed my website www.estilofina.sk for a first time (tried from mobile) and if I wanted to add a product to cart it doesnt work, I just got a page stating that the card is empty. After that I have repeated the step and I was able to add a product to cart.

Problem still persist even with update to J3.4.8. One of the customers just send email he is not able to add product to cart using either PC or mobile. When he tried to add product to cart he got just page saying the cart is empty.

I was able to complete checkout for this customer from my PC.

Any idea ?

Problem still persist. It happened to me this time. I have cleared cache - same issue. Removed individual cookies - same issue. Cleared recent history - problem sorted.

Why is this happening and how can this be sorted for good ?
