Displaying all carts items from site - El Forum - 07-07-2011

I have a catalog/shipping cart site using CI , now client wants to see what people have in their cart even before they place an order.

My question is what will be the best way to do this?

I am thinking about config CI to use database session storage and then from there pull all the carts info but the way Ci storage that data is a bit complicated

I would create a temp_orders table in the database, and save the cart data and user id there whenever something is added or updated in the cart. You can use the session id as a key to keep track of changes made to different carts.
