Free downloads "thank you" page

Free downloads "thank you" page was created by sputnik
Using HS 2.2.2, I have set up a custom "thank you" page upon a user's return to my website from PayPal. I also have free downloads available (I have hidden the file list so the user must use the cart and register just like purchasing a "paid for" product). When a user checks out with only free products in their cart PayPal is bypassed entirely and the user is forwarded to the default "Thank you for your purchase." message. What is the best way to change this so the user is forwarded to my customised thank you page?

Hi,
The best way would be to directly put your customization through the "after_end" file of your "checkout" view of your front-end template.

Thanks Mohamed,

I've now tried this and I don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. No matter what I change on that view I still see the same standard "Thank you for your purchase." message. I have modified other views without a problem but I can't seem to get this functioning. Are you sure that's the right file to modify?

OK, I fixed this by changing the language file instead... but it would be interesting to know why editing the "after_end" file wasn't working :)

HI

I have the exact same problem but I don't understand the explanation above.
I simply want to direct clients that 'purchased' free products to the same page where the Paypal plugin directs my clients to.
It is an article with an explanation on how to download their products.

As it is now new clients use the free products to test my shop. Not getting an explanation on how to download their products, turns them away from buying paid products.

Hi,

You can edit the file "end" of the view "checkout" via the menu Display>Views and change the line:
Code:
echo JText::_('THANK_YOU_FOR_PURCHASE');
to:
Code:
$app = JFactory::getApplication(); $app->redirect('http://mywebsite.com/mypage');

Thanks for the fast response (as always ;o) )

But this did not work. I off course changed the URL to the article with explanation. Still I only get 'Thank you for purchase"
Strange detail: the return page shows the title of the article correct in the breadcrumb trail.

Then maybe it goes in the after_end vies file. Try the same modification there.

Hi,

I tried on my end and the view to edit is "checkout / end" in the frontend template.
Thanks to be sure that you are editing in the correct template.

To make a redirect, you can also try the php function "header()".
us2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php
The following user(s) said Thank You: Sjaak

AHAA, Thanks Xavier.

That did it.
I wasn't aware that I needed to choose the frontend template in order to get it working.

Thanks

I'm trying the same as the user to complete the purchase redirect you to a page. I used the code @Javier
Code:
$ App = JFactory :: getApplication (); $ App-> redirect ( 'http://test.net/test/test);

but this does not work. As is actually written?, my knowledge of php are rather scarce.

This is how it looks now
Code:
<?php /** * @package HikaShop for Joomla! * @version 2.6.0 * @author hikashop.com * @copyright (C) 2010-2015 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved. * @license GNU/GPLv3 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html */ defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?><?php $app = JFactory::getApplication(); $ App-> redirect ( 'http://test.net/test/fin-de-compra');

help me plis.

Hello,
you should replace these lines :
Code:
$app = JFactory::getApplication(); $ App-> redirect ( 'http://test.net/test/fin-de-compra');
By :
Code:
$app = JFactory::getApplication(); $app->redirect('http://test.net/test/fin-de-compra');

Hi,

Which view do you have edited ? "checkout / end" and/or "checkout / after_end" ?
Based on the payment method used you are maybe not redirected to one of these views.

So you will maybe have to edit the file xxx_end.php of your payment method, where "xxx" is the payment method name.
