Hi, I'd like to know how to make the "Add to Cart" button and "Add to Wishlist" button redirect the customer to a page other than the cart or the product page. The page that the customer is redirected to should be seperate from the rest of the site, like a popup window that purely states that the product has been succesfully added (if it was succesfully added) and two buttons ("Continue shopping" and "View Cart").

I've had a look at the code for the add_to_cart.tpl and button.tpl but can't work out how to do this.

If anyone can tell me I'll be very happy.

Thanks,
Jono.

No need to recreate the wheel:

Thanks for the reply Balinor. The mod looks like a possible solution. But it gets a bit more complicated ....

On the site I'm building, when a customer clicks on a product in the product list, the product details load up in a new window within shadowbox (http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/). If the "Add to Cart" button redirected the customer to a "Product Added" page, the links for "Continue Shopping" and "Checkout" would have to open the link in the parent window and then close shadowbox. I know how to close the shadowbox window: onClick="parent.Shadowbox.close();" but I don't know about the opening links in the parent window AND closing shadowbox. Any idea if that's possible?

Also I wouldn't need to upsell products on the "Product Added" page and I'm a bit reluctant to spend money on the mod because it may not work with the way I'm trying to implement it.

Ok, I've had a look around and it's possible to open a link in a parent window from the child window and close the child window at the same time ( http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-14774.html ) I haven't tested it but I'll give it a go.

So, I could probably use that mod in the way that I want. But does anyone know of a way to make the "Add to Cart" button link to a "Product Added" page without using a mod?

in cart.php look for the redirect section under the mode==add section

Thanks very much inebriate. For anyone interested, I found this code in cart.php:

#
# Redirect
#
if ($config["General"]["redirect_to_cart"] == "Y") {
if (!empty($active_modules["SnS_connector"]))
$is_sns_action['AddToCart'][] = $productid;

func_header_location("cart.php");

And changed the "cart.php" to the page I want it to go to. Then I enabled "Redirect Customer to Cart" in the general settings of admin.
