Right now the only thing I can tell thim is hit their backspace key to go back to that position.

Thanks Mike

Are you using Fast Lane Checkout? If so, there is a "continue shopping" button that will send the customer back to the home page. Much easier than using the backspace key

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.

Was Updated first page with the latest forum messages from this thread.

Thanks for the help Yurij. Got it working now.

[TanyaG]

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?

Help?

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

PHP Code:

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

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];
                $skip_one_redirect = 1; 
            }
        }        
    }
} else {
    if ($skip_one_redirect==1 ) {
        $skip_one_redirect=0;
    } else {
        if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], "cart.php") === false)
        {
            $back_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
        }
    }
}

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

Does anyone know how to get the same effect in 4.2 ? so that the customer goes back to the products lists and not the main home page ?

Thanks in advance !

[zebragrf]

I tried each one of those and they did not work for me.

1. Edit file cart.php, after next lines:

PHP Code:

...........
x_session_register("dhl_ext_country_store");
x_session_register("ga_track_commerce");
x_session_register("initial_state_orders", array());
x_session_register("initial_state_show_notif", "Y");
x_session_register("enter_as_anonymous", false); 


add next lines:

a) return to the last page;

PHP Code:

#back URL when cont. shoping:
x_session_register("back_url");
if ($mode == "add")
{
    $back_url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
}

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


b) Is it any chance to send customers back into ROOT directory instead of subcategory? - Yes

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); 


c) Is it any chance to send customers back into PRODUCT category? - Yes

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])) {
                $last = end($cats_path);
                $back_url = "home.php?cat=".$last;
            }
        }
    }
}
$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.

[zebragrf]

For some reason, it does not affect my page. Granted, I am coming from a static page outside of x-cart but why shouldn't it go BACK to that page?
