When a user first visits the website, a cokie is set on that machine only - anything you add to the beaker session will stay in there, then when the user registers you can use the the data that was saved to the session before they registered.
I can't think of any way for a user to go to different sites and access the same cart unless they've signed in or have some sort of token that they provide from both sites (for a contrived example though, if a user went to the site at home and added items to a cart, then copied their cookie from teh home machine to another machine they would see the same card data) -----Original Message----- From: "Matt Woolnough" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 27 January, 2010 11:14pm To: "pylons-discuss" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Lazy Registration Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the suggestion, I just can't work out how I'd match up the individual sessions to the same cart if the user is not signed in. Am I missing something here?
