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.?

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);

Re: The universal solution "Continue Shopping Button"

Great job. Thank you so much for sharing. Is it any chance to send customers back into root directory instead of subcategory?

Many thanks

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

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

            }

        }

    }

}

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

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

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