Hi everyone

I am experiencing the same behaviour as described by Griffin (July 27,
2009) on the latest Satchmo release (http://www.satchmoproject.com/
docs/dev/new_installation.html), however the weird behaviour is making
it quite difficult to use the gift certificates. Most pressing, the
process misplaces the items ordered by the customer, and at the very
least I will need to know where the items ordered go to before I can
complete the order.

When a customer uses a gift certificate to make a payment for an
order, and if the gift certificate has a lower value than the amount
to be paid, then the 'balance remaining' path is entered, however the
cart loses key details about the order:

1) Add some items to cart with a total greater than the gift
certificate's value

2) At /checkout/, select "Gift certificate"

3) At /checkout/giftcertificate, enter 'Gift Certificate Code', select
shipping

3) At /checkout/giftcertificate/confirm, details all fine, select
"Purchase Items"

4) At /checkout/balance/[order payment number]/

This is the page at which the customer must choose how to pay the
remaining balance of the order. At this point the cart reads "Your
shopping cart contains 1 item totalling $0.00". Select payment method
and hit "Continue".

5) At /checkout/[payment method]/confirm/

At this point, the card reads "Your shopping cart is empty". However
it is usually possible to submit the order at this point to make it to
the success page.

Once the errors start, I have found that the following items can no
longer be accessed through the shop templates, or have erroneous
values:
1. order.shipping_method = No Shipping, regardless of the shipping
method chosen
2. order.orderstatus_set contains status.status|status_label = Shipped
and status.notes = "Order immediately available for download", even
though the item is not a downloadable product
3. order.orderitem_set is empty

In the admin page, the Product Order is received, however the order
has the following issues:
1. Shipping method = No Shipping, regardless of method chosen
2. Shipping cost = $0
3. Order Line Items is empty (also does not appear in Order Line
Items /admin/shop/orderitem/)

However following items in the Product Order are correct:
1. Subtotal
2. Total
3. Order Payments and amounts

I initially created a work-around, deducing the shipping method from
the difference between the subtotal and total, and editing
_order_tracking_details.html and _order_details.html to handle and
cover-up the erroneous details, however unless I can find where the
order items are going to I don't think I'll be able to create a work-
around to use the gift certificates, as I have no solid way of
determining what was ordered from the subtotal alone.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I may have done wrong, or how I can
fix this?


Cheers,
Nadiah
