Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

Thanks for looking into this.
I think it's better for me to give my customers a link that's already converted to an html form. That way, I won't have to deal with the issue.

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

Yurij,

I went to skin1/main/product_details.tpl and commented out the part in red:

{if $product.forsale eq 'H'}
<TR>
{if $productids ne ''}<TD width="15" class="TableSubHead"><INPUT type="checkbox" value="Y" name="fields[categoryids]"></TD>{/if}
<TD class="FormButton" nowrap>{$lng.lbl_product_url}:</TD>
<TD class="ProductDetails">{$catalogs.customer}/product.php?productid={$product.productid}{*&cat={$product.categoryid}*}</TD>
</TR>
{/if}

It seems to work well, and I don't end up with the &cat=253 at the end of the url string.

Can anybody see any downside to this modification?

Yes. To view the product enough to know his ID.

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

I added a file "continue_shopping.tpl" in /skin1/buttons so I could use the Continue Shopping link at the top and bottom of my cart:

PHP Code:


		
			
{include file="buttons/button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_continue_shopping href="$back_url"}

My store is straight forward, so the only pages a customer could come from that would make sense to return to are category pages and product pages, so in cart.php, I have:

PHP Code:


		
			
#

# Continue Shopping link

#

x_session_register("back_url");

$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

if (strpos($referrer, "home.php") || strpos($referrer, "product.php"))

{

    $back_url = $referrer;

}

else if (!$back_url) {

    $back_url = 'home.php';

}



$smarty->assign("back_url", $back_url);

# End Continue Shopping

strpos($referrer, "product.php") - will don't work with url rewrite mods (DSEFU, CDSEO and etc).

Yurij - There has been some discussion in this thread about interoperability with certain mods. I don't see how your comment adds to the the discussion. If this is something that concerns you, you could offer your own clever version.

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

My client requested that the visitor be returned to the last category they were viewing, rather than the last product or any other page. I decided to stick this near the bottom of my auth.php file so the last category info would follow the visitor around the site (removing the other code from cart.php):

PHP Code:


		
			
#

# Custom code: Continue Shopping link

#

x_session_register("last_cat");

$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

if (strpos($referrer, "home.php")) {

    $last_cat = $referrer;

}

else if (!$last_cat) {

    $last_cat = 'home.php';

}

$smarty->assign("back_url", $last_cat);

# End Continue Shopping

What should happen if the transition to the cart was made from the page - Manufacture, search or etc.?

glsp	09-26-2008 03:50 PM

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

In this case, transfers from those pages would not be counted. We don't use Manufacturers, but you could add conditions to check for any page to go back to. In the case of search, the code could be:

PHP Code:


		
			
x_session_register("last_cat");

$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

if (strpos($referrer, "home.php") || strpos($referrer, "search.php")) {

    $last_cat = $referrer;

}

else if (!$last_cat) {

    $last_cat = 'home.php';

}

$smarty->assign("back_url", $last_cat);

Try change in "cart.php" code for universal solution "Continue Shopping Button" by this:

PHP Code:


		
			
#back URL when cont. shoping:

x_session_register("back_url");
if ($mode == "add")
{
    $back_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

    $id = intval($productid);
    if ($id>0) {
        $cat_path = func_query_first_cell("select categoryid_path from $sql_tbl[products_categories], $sql_tbl[categories] where (productid = $id)and(main='Y')and($sql_tbl[products_categories].categoryid=$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid)");
        if (!empty($cat_path)) {
            $cats_path = split("/ *",$cat_path);        
            if (!empty($cats_path[0])) {
                $back_url = "home.php?cat=".$cats_path[0];
            }
        }
    }
}

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

X-cart total newbie here. PHP, and SQL challenged.. Could someone please post or pm me the files and the edits including making the button, and all things needed to make this work in 4.1.10. I would love the ability to send the user back to the catagory they were viewing just before they hit add to cart. Right now the only thing I can tell thim is hit their backspace key to go back to that position.

Thanks Mike

please let me know can it made with just last category we were on as it seems cart taking more time to load with sql above may be im wrong.

This modification just add one sql query (On load the page X-cart makes 80-140 query to DB :) ).

This mod is if you want to send the customer somewhere else, and it gets quite complicated because people want the customer to be returned to different places.

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

Just when you would have thought all permutations have been considered, time for a new challenge :-) .

What I am trying to do is the following: if arrived to the cart by adding an item, then "continue shopping" should return me to the product category.

BUT if someon arrives to the cart in any other way (e.g. clicking on "view cart" from anywhere), then "continue shopping" should return them to the page they were on when they clicked on "view cart".

I tried

PHP Code:


		
			
x_session_register("back_url");
if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "cart.php") == false)
{
    $back_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
}
if ($mode == "add")
{ 
    $id = intval($productid);
       if ($id>0) 
    {
           $cat_path = func_query_first_cell("select categoryid_path from $sql_tbl[products_categories], $sql_tbl[categories] where (productid = $id)and(main='Y')and($sql_tbl[products_categories].categoryid=$sql_tbl[categories].categoryid)");
        if (!empty($cat_path)) {
               $cats_path = split("/ *",$cat_path);        
                  if (!empty($cats_path[0])) {
                      $back_url = "home.php?cat=".$cats_path[0]; 
            }
        }        
    }
}

$smarty->assign("back_url", $back_url);

but off course that just always gets me back to the page I was on before, never to the product category page, since every time cart.php?mode=add is called, it is immediately followed by a regular call to cart.php (with the referrer remaining the product detail page)...

Help? :-)

I'm not sure, but try used next code (i don't tested this code enough):

x_session_register("back_url");
x_session_register("skip_one_redirect");

if ($mode == "add")
{ 
    $id = intval($productid);

                  if (!empty($cats_path[0])) {

        {
            $back_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        }
    }
}

$smarty->assign("back_url", $back_url);

2. Edit URL for "Continue Shopping Button", exm. for Fast Lan Check Out:
Edit file: "skin1/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/home_main.tpl", change line:

PHP Code:


		
			
<td>{include file="modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/big_button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_continue_shopping style="button" href="home.php"}</td>

replaced by this code

PHP Code:


		
			
<td>{include file="modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/big_button.tpl" button_title=$lng.lbl_continue_shopping style="button" href="`$back_url`"}</td>

PS. I would be grateful for any comments on that decision. It should almost always work.

It was already doing that. The process did not change. What I am looking for is to go back to the custom page where I clicked to add the product(s) to the cart.

I don't want it to go back to the home page of X-Cart. I want it to go back to my page.

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

If you use CDSEO Pro try this:

open modules/cdseolinks/cdseo_config.php
Find

PHP Code:


		
			
/****************************************************************************************
| Function: wcmcdseoType

Before add

PHP Code:


		
			
#back URL when cont. shoping:
x_session_register("back_url");
if (strpos($wcmcdseoUrlVar, "cart.php")==false) {
    $back_url = $wcmcdseoUrlVar;
}
$smarty->assign("back_url", $back_url); 
#---

And now doesn't mater on which page you hit 'View Cart', 'Continue shopping' will always push you back to that page.

Try it on my site, I hope you can find some bugs in there.

Those folks who don't use CDSEO Pro, can get this mod for $139.99 O:)
