Changing Saved Shopping Cart "Clear Cart" URL Dest

Hey guys, I have the Shopping Cart Saver enabled so when someone comes back to my site it re-adds their previous shopping cart contents. I think this was added in v4, but it may have been 3.5

Anyways, I was having an issue where a customer would arrive back at my site on some page, and then pressing clear cart would take them back to the homepage. I felt like it should keep them on the same page when they clear the cart, because they probably arrived to that specific page for a reason. I know there's an X box at the top right of the pop-up, but I felt like the clear cart button still should not take the customer off the current page.

To fix this, I edited pc/CustLOb.asp...

After this line:

Dim tempURL

I added these two lines:

Dim bRefURL bRefURL = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")

Then, I changed this line:

response.redirect tempURL& "?action=clear"

...and changed tempURL to bRefURL for:

response.redirect bRefURL & "?action=clear"

After that, I edited header.asp and added these lines to the very top of the page:

<% ' If coming from custLO.asp, clear customer session ' (addresses issue with shared SSL scenario) if request.QueryString("action") = "clear" then      if session("admin")<>0 then           session("idcustomer")=""           session("pcStrCustName")=""           session("customerCategory")=""           session("customerType")=""           session("ATBCustomer")= Cint(0)           session("ATBPercentOff")= Cint(0)           session("customerCategoryType")=""           session("CustomerGuest")=""      else           Session.Abandon      end if end if %>

I'm not sure if the top of header.asp is the best place for this code, but it seems to be working fine on my site.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone :) The end result is that clearing the saved shopping cart leaves the customer on the same page they arrived at, rather than directing them to the home page.

Great to know all around. We've got clients using both of these solutions...
