Sorry to post this as urgent, but I asked this question a couple
weeks ago, never got an answer, and the problem has cropped up again.
Is there some sort of problem with using the word "total" as a client
variable? For some reason, and I can't figure it out for the life of
me, my darned cart is not updating client.total. I can put stuff in
the cart, the total reads right, but when I go to another page, there
is no link to the cart page. The link is inside:
<cfif client.total GT "0">Link to cart</cfif>
Now, when I add something else to the cart, everything else is still
in there. I can update quantities. Delete items. I set a variable
adding up the items then show:
Total: #dollarformat(variables.total)#
Then set <cfset client.total = variables.total>
variables.total always displays correctly. I've even gone to the very
end of the cart page, where nothing can possibly load afterward and
set:
<cfset client.total = 10>
I am actually looking at the record in the client storage database. I
can watch "data" change every client variable, such as quantities,
adding and deleting items, etc., but no matter what I do client.total
stays at 0. I even changed the application name in case something
else was interfering. The files are exactly the same as stores where
it works fine. And this one was working fine until this morning, then
voila, the problem crops up again. I had written it off to Gremlins a
couple weeks ago after it went away.
This only seems to happen where I have multiple instances of the cart
under the same domain or IP Address (during development). But I have
the applications named different and every variable except
client.total updates correctly. I don't want this problem to crop up
in a live environment.
I'd kill for an answer to this. It's got me by the you know what.
5 gold stars to anyone that can give me a clue.
