12 Item limit - Cart Crash

[jaybird2024]

As soon as you add to cart on the 12th item then the cart goes empty.
Is this a setup issue or a bug?

Thanks

Use vmdebug and take a look on the used ram peak

 Start of shopping:

        vmdebug self::$_jpConfig->lang en_gb

        vmdebug End used Ram 10.75M
        vmdebug Peak memory peak 10.75M

At around 8 products it stays at around here:

It happens the same here, when I add the 12 product in the cart the cart goes empty with no reason...

[jaybird2024]

it will have to be something on the server, or a joomla configuration

What exactly does it have to do with?
Should these not be server requirements listed before anyone installs?

[jaybird2024]

Please help, this trouble is on a LIVE web site.

I can hardly think it is a server issue, I run many joomla VM sites on my server.

PLEASE - What configs could cause this problem?

How to stop the 12 item  cart crash?

Thanks.

Same problem here!

And if i put 17 things in the cart - show cart - only 5 things in there.

I have the same bug. Cannot add more then 5-6 items. Then cart became empty. I noticed, it is happened more when changing category. But in fact no explanation.
Please help, my site http://www.elastotechnic.com/index.php/ru/katalog - you can try to add 7 items! It is a problem!!!
Virtuemart's developers, when this problem will be resolved, will be update soon? I made much work but now all this is not working!!!

[jaybird2024]

Ok time for a rant. I don't usually do this but I have trusted and supported VM for many years, I even made public extensions for it.

Time used to take less than 24 hours to get an issue addressed/fixed in virtuemart.
Ever since VM 2, support has gone downhill, it has been almost 2 weeks since my issue was first posted in this thread.

Why complain about free open-source code and support? TRUST!
Over 900 items in my database and it is upsetting to my client because of lost sales.
Silly me for not testing mass volume orders before trusting virtuemart to be stable and have reliable support.

I am obviously not the only person in need of help on this issue, our clients are loosing money!

VM2 support responses, IF ANY, are now in unintelligible broken English. I am not against international brotherhood/sisterhood but for goodness sake, lets remember what language the forum started in and predominately required by its users! Did we subcontract to foreign support that does not understand basic English?

TYPICAL CURRENT QUESTIONS & REPLIES:
USER: "Feature XYZ does not work, how do I fix it."
NEW DEVELOPER: "Yes, the new version is developed for XYZ feature."
WTF?

WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO VIRTUEMART?
This used to be the greatest Joomla Component ever!

At this rate, if LIVE-CART or another top open-source cart ever gets into the Joomla business, VM will be history.

If support is short on help, perhaps a subscription based support is in order? I would gladly pay a small monthly fee of like $5.00 for access to on the spot support. People in the business of installing shopping carts are usually making money, such a small fee would not be a hinder so many would pay.

Ok, my rant and offer to a solution is done.
I really love virtuemart, which is the reason I hate to see it go to crap.


Meanwhile, can someone PLEASE tell us how to fix this cart emptying issue?
Our clients are loosing money and VM is loosing credibility!
Thanks

Jaybird,

Have you tried with and without SEF?

Whats the session lifetime set to?

Have you tried to install the site on a development domain and convert to J2.5?

Have you examined it with httpfox?

Have you posted a url in this thread?

Are there any joomla security plugins/components installed?


Besides this thread where there seems to be 2 people with the same problem, I have not heard of this. I cannot reproduce it.
and there has not been a url posted.

Hi BanquetTables.pro

- I tried in Joomla 1.7 and the latest Joomla 2.5.3
- Session Lifetime is set to 120 mins (database)
- I tried with and without SEF

I don't know if I' wrong but I realize that when a user add an item to the cart, the The user session stores a really big variable. And this multiplied by 11 it's really huge.
Wouldn't be better to add a variable for each article in the cart?

Thank you very much in advance.

What do you have set for?
mysql   or mysqli?
