Return Page after clicking on 'continue shopping'

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

      using v4.1

When a customer adds something to the cart, and clicks on 'continue shopping' they are taken to the featured products page every time, instead of back to the page they came from. Im sure I remember a fix for this, where the return can be set to go back to the original page

Can someone please remind me of the line and file that needs updating?

Thanks

John

	That button is probably pointed to what you have configured as your alternate home page in the store settings. You can change the behavior by editing viewcart.asp, assuming that is where the "continue" button appears that you are referring to. The other choice is to activate "stay on page", a feature I authored under V3, and is now a permanent feature of PC. That way when you are on the product page and add an item to the cart, you don't have to worry about what that continue button does.

	Hi Greg, i have added the option to stay on the page (I originally bought your add on for V3 so I remember it was you that developed it :) ) and that has certainly got rid of the annoying bounce to the featured products page But, if I now click on the option to view cart, instead of continue shopping from the popup menu, just to check my items, it still sends me to the featured products page when I click on continue shopping, and not the page it was originally on!! What other settings do I change in V4 to make to return to the page it left please? Thanks John

	Suggestions - 1 - Turn on the SEO-friendly URLs. You went to the trouble of moving the home page to the root, now take advantage of the better URL format. 2 - In your store settings, change the "Store Home Page" to http://www.bagsoffreshness.co.uk and see if your continue shopping issue is improved. 3 - I have a testimonials database with a script that rotates those entries randomly if you have more than the one that appears on the lower-right. You may find that script useful. See the footer of www.activewearusa.com - refresh the page a few times. Contact me offline if interested. 4 - optionally, look at viewcart.asp for this: <a href="default.asp"> replace it with this: <a href="#" onClick="history.go(-1)">

	oh, and edit your include-metatags.asp file. You are selling sealers, not shopping cart software.

	Hi Greg and John, I had a look at the activewearusa changing testimonials page but it didnt change for me on refresh or when I closed the browser and logged back in. It's amazing how many ProductCart users don't change the include-metatags.asp file. I think some do intially but forget that this file is always overwritten during version upgrades. John - on your site it's a good idea to make the product images the same width when diasplayed in a list with thumbnails. It makes them line up perfectly so the the images and text are all in alignment when scolling down the page. Nigel

	I'll have to discuss with the cleint if that was changed for some reason, but if you go to http://www.activewearusa.com/store/pc/Activewear-Tops-c8.htm and refresh, it most certainly will rotate.
