Has EJEJC_multiAdd changed?

[danny]

For A long time this code:

function purchase() {

var finalorder = getCookieValue("seats");

if (getCookieValue("email")) {

var emailok = getCookieValue("email");

}else{

var emailok='true';

}

var orderarray = new Array();

orderarray = finalorder.split("|");

iItm=orderarray.length;

if(iItm>0){

for(i=0;i<iItm;i++){

orderarray[i]= orderarray[i] + '&custom=' + emailok;

}

}

EJEJC_multiAdd(orderarray);

quickCookie('ej_ejc_cart_id112637');

}



worked fine at showing the multiple items (theater tickets, in this case) people selected.

Now it seems just the last item selected shows in the cart. The array is there. I can see it if I insert a document.write(orderarray); line and even if I insert document.write(orderarray[2]); the correct item shows, but not in the cart popup. Has something changed in usage of EJEJC_multiAdd?

The site is bftix.org.

Nothing has changed with EJEJC_multiAdd(), though it appears the real problem is that your cart is not retaining any items buyers add to it, which would be unrelated to multiAdd or your site's custom javascript using it.



Browsing to the domain you mentioned, I was redirected to a site hosted at a numeric IP, which would explain the problem. The cart must set a cookie in the buyer's browser to keep track of which cart instance is theirs; however, cookies must be set for a specific domain, and cannot be set for a numeric IP. Therefore, the cart on that site "forgets" anything added to it as soon as the buyer closes their cart display. You will need to get the site accessible via some domain name to get the cart fully functional.



This help page covers the topic in more detail, including some tips you may find useful if you need to set up a subdomain on shared hosting for development/testing before you can get the bftix.org domain resolving to the site directly:

Thank you for the explanation. My regular site is down and I am redirecting to a mirror site temporarily. I guess I can't do that.

If you can't repoint DNS for your main/www domain to the mirror site's IP temporarily, you might see if you can at least set up DNS for a new subdomain/hostname on your domain (e.g. "www2.bftix.org") that points to the mirror site's IP, then have your main/www site redirect to that.
