ionauth and shopping cart

[eluser]WanWizard[/eluser]
This is a known issue with the way most users implement authentication.

Instead of having a proper data structure within the session to store user related information, and erasing/resetting that when a user logs out, they take the lazy option, and do a $this->session->sess_destroy(). That takes care of the logout, but also deletes all other valuable information in the session.

If you look in the Ion_auth library, in the logout() method, there a line that says

Code:

$this->ci->session->sess_destroy();

Comment this to retain your session. The unset_userdata() calls above that line will make sure the user is logged out.
