When you log out you are removing all of the information regarding that
session for that user. The only way to maintain the basket/cart after
logging out is to save it first. This is actually pretty easy though :)

I do not know if there is a 'cart storage area' in any of the demos for
interchange but the following code does work for me under minivend
4.04a. Its probable that the will conform closely enough for you to just
drop this code (taken from simple ord/basket.html) into place:

[if session logged_in]
[userdb function=get_cart_names hide=1]
<P>
<FONT SIZE="+2">Cart Storage Area</FONT>
<FORM NAME="cart_storage" ACTION="[process-target secure=1]" METHOD=POST
onsubmit="validate();">

<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo VALUE=return>
