Let's enable in General Settings -> Redirect customer to cart after adding a product.

If you want to come back to the product you just added to cart, after pressing Continue Shopping, do the following modifications:

In XC 4.4.2 root find product.php. At the end of the file, before:

func_display('customer/home.tpl', $smarty);

add the following code lines:

define('STORE_NAVIGATION_SCRIPT', 'Y');
$smarty->assign('navigation_script', 'product.php?productid=' . $productid);

We can go further adding in General Settings a check box: Redirect to product page.

if (redirect to cart enabled && redirect to productpage enabled)
pressing Continue Shopping go back to product page

Lots of information about Continue Shopping button here: http://www.getelastic.com/4-ways-continue-shopping

Hi,
Thanks for your codes.

If I want to go to the current page suppose in category or in manufacturer page what will be the code for x cart pro 4.4.2 Pro?

[ADDISON]

This is the place you should make the changes:

$smarty->assign('navigation_script', 'product.php?productid=' . $productid);

that productid has associated a categoryid and a manufacturerid. Change product.php with category.php ...

I don't see it relevant to go in Manufacture page after pushing continue shopping button.

Hi,
It will not work for me...

[ADDISON]

What did you use for replacing this 'product.php?productid=' . $productid"?

Here is what QT replied inside the bugtracker (http://bugtracker.qtmsoft.com/view.php?id=38084)

*****************
As a result of discussion it was decided to implement this as follows:

- customer adds a product from the home page -> it redirects him to home page
- customer adds a product from the search results page -> it redirects him to the same search results (with page number and search conditions as it was before)
- customer adds a product from the category page -> it redirects him to that category (page number is kept)
- customer adds a product from the product details page -> it redirects him to home, category, or search results page the customer was browsing last time

We do not see any reason to forward a customer to the same product page when click on the Continue shopping button. That product is already in cart.
*****************

My personal opinion is X-Cart should let the administrator to decide from a few options where to redirect the customer.

Wouldn't just replacing the onclick javascript code from

onclick="javascript: self.location = '/DEVELOPMENT/xcart/home.php?cat=7&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0'; if (event) event.cancelBubble = true;">

to

onclick="javascript:history.back()"

for the continue shopping button?

I'm sure sure what your button code is exactly in the version you are using but it worked great in 4.1.8 and I was going to edit it in my 4.4.5 test version as well to see if it works.

onclick="javascript:history.back()"

This actually is not good as in some cases will not work as intended. For example - customer adds to cart and then logs out or session expires. Customer logs in again and XC will redirect him/her to the cart because cart is not empty (default XC behaviour). Customer hits the "continue shopping" button - using the js history function customer will be redirected back to the login screen - not good at all.

That is a very good point. Didn't think of that at all.
