shopping cart lifetime

[AH]

It is not a bug it is based on session lifetime and keeping "cart" alive

Sessions expire when browser is closed or website is exited - the session expires and cart is empty.

For registered logged in customers, cart details are stored in a carts table - if the customer does not complete an order and later logs into their account - the details of the last non completed cart are loaded

If the customer wants to save a cart for later use maybe you can invoke some cart saver functionality outside of that already provided for by core VM and registered logged in customers

Perhaps I have not explained myself well: the cart is emptied only if at the time of login you select the "Remember me" option and close the browser without logging out. In all other cases the cart remains full.
If I disable the "System - Remember Me" plugin everything works correctly.

My VM hasn't "Remember me" option

Are you sure, that your VM has this option?
Isn't this option part of the Joomla login module or other applications, what do you think?

Hello
I tried and confirm what Ermes discovered.

In fact, using the joomla login module with the remember plug in active, it is possible for a registered user to log in the first time and by checking the remmeber checkbox, then for 60 days the cookie allows access without having to log in again.

in this case, any abandoned carts are lost on the next return to the site.

I would say that in a btob it is normal to use the joomla module login

So do you confirm the bug? Will there be a bugfix in the next versions? I would like to give an answer to my clients.

[AH]

I am not sure it is a VM bug - just a consequence of using remember me and the differing functional aspects.

Remember me is login logic - the other is VM cart session life time.

I stopped showing the "remember me"  by overriding the layout of the Joomla login module

Postulate:
Everything that does not behave as the customer imagines / needs it / thinks on the e-shop is a bug and it is necessary to fix it for free and create a new version of VirtueMart and preferably immediately.

Max reads these post as well -- there is also dev and bug board -   http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=127.0

[ermes]

I have posted the bug in dev and bug board

[Milbo]

I would say it is a strange bug, which is imho from joomla. Looks like joomla does you not login, if "remember me" is used. I need to investigate that

Hi Milbo, there are news on this bug?
