Hi,

Is it possible to have a custom made log-in area on my site that grabs users details from a mysql database and inserts the details to create the cookie ACTINIC_CONTACT ?

This way I could have people manage their account details outside of actinic but still be able to have actinic load the details in for checkout stage.

The problem is that I cant seem to find the cookie ACTINIC_CONTACT in my temp folders. My site remembers my details when I click 'Remember me' so I guess I must be getting the cookie.

Can I not view the cookie because it was issued in the checkout stage which is on a secure server?

I'd like to know the format the cookie takes so I can replicate it. Any one see any potential problems with this idea?

The cookie can be found in the internet browser, eg in Firefox, if you go to "Tools | Options | Cookies" and "View Cookie", you should be able to see the shop cookie. On the server, there is a session file, which talks to the internet browser cookie. The session files holds the cart details. If you are using IE, then
it will be in "Tools | Internet Option | General | Settings | View File"

I dont think we will be able to support you with this bit. I have provided the information of the location of the cookies and will leave the rest to you to experiment with.

Kind regards,
