Saved Shopping Carts

nicolas46 Total Posts: 210 Joined: 2008-04-09 Toulouse Ignore user	I see in the “checkout” part of the feature list : “Saved Shopping Carts with configurable expiration time” Does it mean that I can allow my customer to save his current shopping cart in his account ? if yes where can i enable this feature ?

Active quotes preserved as abandoned carts. /app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Observer.php public function cleanExpiredQuotes($schedule) { $lifetimes = Mage::getConfig()->getStoresConfigByPath('checkout/cart/delete_quote_after'); foreach ($lifetimes as $storeId=>$lifetime) { $lifetime = 86400; $quotes = Mage::getModel('sales/quote')->getCollection(); / @var $quotes Mage_Sales_Model_Mysql4_Quote_Collection / $quotes->addFieldToFilter('store_id', $storeId); $quotes->addFieldToFilter('updated_at', array('to'=>date("Y-m-d", time()-$lifetime))); $quotes->addFieldToFilter('is_active', 0); //Leave Active Quotes alone $quotes->walk('delete'); } return $this; } In one of those perverse Magento definitions, Quote Lifetime* is only used for housekeeping in removal of inactive quotes (why you even keep inactive quotes after they’ve been sales ordered is something a Magento Programmer will have to answer to) and not to filter through the active quotes (saved shopping carts) over the desired period and declaring them defunct. Active quotes remain forever as zombie saved carts. Who cares about a saved cart after a month or so? NBL that the customer is coming back after six months and so you’re left with an ever expanding bloat of tables in your sales_flat_quote table cluster. The adventurous could convert this observer to cleaning out all quotes over Quote Lifetime by commenting the following line out of the filter: `// $quotes->addFieldToFilter('is_active', 0); //Leave Active Quotes alone` Signature ----- 1) For preserving thy future happiness, thou shalt back up thy HTTP doc directories and Magento database regularly. 2) For preserving thy sanity during module installs and moves, thou shalt disable thy cache and compiler and flush their caches.
