Have seen & fixed this on 4 sites today
J3.5.6/VM3.0.16 & 18
On a clean browser on sites with Joomla forced Global https when you Add to Cart from anywhere the popup pops, the cart module ajax updates (shows product)
then you click the Go to Cart link and the cart is empty .. completely repeatable
If you close the popup and use the link from the Cart module to Go To Cart all OK
After browsing away from the empty cart and later adding all is OK - also the "lost" product reappears as the correct session is used
The https isn't present in the $this->cart_link in padded.php
ATM I fix by creating a hidden Cart menu and hard coding that in padded.php with https
Hello,
How are you implementing HTTPS on the site? Just via Joomla!? or via Joomla! and Htaccess?
Implementing it via Htaccess is always recommended.
Use jroute in padded to add sef link and it work.
jRoute::_('index.php&option=com_virtuemart&view=cart');
I always dont understand why this was full removed, and not an option, many vm user complain because customer have no sef link on going to the cart from modal.
Hi S42,
using JRoute::_('index.php&option=com_virtuemart&view=cart'); still doesn't pick up the hidden cart menu slug
I get in the popup -> /index.php&option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
in the cart module go to cart link
/cart
even adding the correct Itemid I just get /index.php&option=com_virtuemart&view=cart&Itemid=226
I think that the router have a bug, this should always work and worked always for me.
Is this in the last beta only?
vm3.0.18 ... if I get some time will try and look further

Are you sure you are correctly overriding -
components/com_virtuemart/views/cart/tmpl/padded.phpIt works great for me.
To ensure it always generate a https url you can use -
<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php&option=com_virtuemart&view=cart', true, true); ?>
why don't you redirect all http requets with .htaccess and don't use overrides?

if(VmConfig::get('sef_for_cart_links', false)){
$this->continue_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category' . $categoryStr.$ItemidStr);
$this->cart_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart');
}There is an option, ...

NICE, you make many vm user happy ;)
and updated to $this->cart_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart',false,$this->useSSL);
Yeh and when someone wanna help, he writes a patch so that the hidden option becomes visible.
Milbo,
It should be -
$this->cart_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart', true, $this->useSSL);
The 2nd parameter should be true to generate a 100% valid html. It is directly used as a hyperlink in html. Therefore special characters should be escaped.
