Maybe a bit clunky, but if you store sessions in the database, you could use an onDelete cascade and a trigger to rollback items in the users cart when the session is deleted... not suggesting this to be implemented IN sfShoppingCart, but for the specific implementation this could be a reasonably quick, easy and effective solution
Part of the problem here is PHP's non persistent nature... with Java you could just use a Quartz job :-/ The out of stock thing sounds like a reasonable compromise, and incentivises the user to complete the transaction faster. Have a look and see how See Tickets and TicketMaster do it, I think they reserve your tickets for a few minutes for you to complete checkout... from what I can remember, See is 15 minutes, TicketMaster is about 3 minutes. -----Original Message----- From: symfony-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 February 2008 08:55 To: symfony users Subject: [symfony-users] Re: sfShoppingCart The other way is to deal with it at check out. The frist user who checks out get the item, all others will see a message 'out of stock' when they hit the checkout button. This way you don't have to worry about those items mentioned above. So i'm looking forward to see other ideas and comments ... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
