Specifically I'm not seeing "If someone is logged in then it should pull in the contact." in the the case where there is a user logged in but that user does not already have a Contact instance set up for them. CartManager from_request is specifically calling Contact from_request with create=False, so that no Contact is auto-created for even a logged-in user. Users who already have existing Contact instances can purchase these members-only products, but users who don't already have a Contact instance set up for them cannot, even though they are logged in. I'm fine with anonymous users not being able to pass this eligibility test, but what I don't understand is why logged-in users who would pass the test aren't able to due to not having a customer set in the cart. Why is CartManager from_request preventing the auto-creation of a Contact instance for the user? (I'm not overly familiar with Satchmo and its models -- I simply inherited this site, I did not build it or the code that is attempting to use this feature. So sorry if my understanding of Satchmo models is off. I get the impression from a brief look through the code that Contacts are auto-created for users as needed...but if that is not the case then perhaps my site's problem is that it is not ensuring Contacts are properly created for users? If so how would it do that?) Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
