Keeping the users loged in and keep anonimous users cart content

Problem:

How to keep users logged in and anonymous users to keep cart and wishlist contents.

In auth.php find the line

PHP Code:


		
			
include_once $xcart_dir."/init.php";

and replace it with...

PHP Code:


		
			
#
# If the user has been here in the last 6 month, extract the session ID from a cookie
#
if (!empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["xsessionid"]))
    $HTTP_POST_VARS["xid"] = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["xsessionid"];

include_once $xcart_dir."/init.php";

#
# Keep user session ID in a cookie for 6 months
#
if ((empty($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["xsessionid"]) && !empty($XCARTSESSID)) || $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["xsessionid"] != $XCARTSESSID)
    @setcookie("xsessionid", $XCARTSESSID, time()+3600*24*180);

in config.php find the line

PHP Code:


		
			
$use_session_length = 3600;

and replace with the line which will extend keeping session data (cart contents, wishlist contents etc.) for 6 months

PHP Code:


		
			
$use_session_length = 180*24*3600;

in modules\Users_online\registered_user.php find the line

PHP Code:


		
			
$expiry_time = $curtime + $config["Sessions"]["session_length"];

and change it with the line which will decrease the counter of the online users to only those users which were active in the last 5 minutes (300 seconds):

PHP Code:


		
			
$expiry_time = $curtime + 300;

This should keep the user session id for 6 months and everyone who has been logged in will be remembered during that period. What is even more important, anonymous users cart will stay remain.

Important:
Please try it on a test server before you implement it!
