continue shopping button - redirection not workig

And the next problem ... maybe I have bad karma or so

I want the customer to be redirected to the product category page after clicking on the "continue shopping" button. Because I only have one category I don't need this workaround with editing a file that I found searching this forum. The "Continue shopping button's URL" field on the "checkout" tab should do that too. But it seems this isn't working, nothing happens after clicking the button (except of closing the popup notice) no matter what URL I insert in this field.

The button is also displayed if the URL field is empty, according to a post here in the forum the button should only be displayed IF there is a URL to redirect ...

The continue button option is for the continue button on the checkout. For the continue button in the popup notice, it only closes the popup.

I see ... on the checkout the button works and redirects the user to whatever URL I set. ^^

But I need a redirection for the button in the popup. There is no sense in this button if it's only closing the popup. It's quite uncomfortable for the user to first click on the back button in the browser or clicking in the menu to go back to the category after putting a product in the cart.

Edit: Let the user go back threw the back button in the browser is bad for another reason too: the cart module isn't updated and therefore the user won't see the product in the cart

In that case, you can edit the file notice of the view checkout via the menu Display->Views and change the code:
to:

Thanks but your code isn't working. I tried to figure out why but I don't know. Maybe there is a problem with the whole quotation marks and escaping them?!

This code works:
But honestly: This isn't a very nice solution, your approach is ways better

I used double quotes so you don't need to escape them inside simple quotes strings. I've changed my code so that it uses simplde quotes with escaping but that should make no difference.

Hello, perhaps a very basic question but I would like the Continue Shopping button to just be a back button.

Thanks

Hi,

You can edit the view "Checkout / step" in HikaShop > Display > Views, and at the end of the file, you can replace By the code for your return button.

Thank you for that but I can't get the code to do anything, I have tried history.back() or history.back(-1) but nothing works. I have also tried to change the code so that it uses the code of RemoteC and get it to move to a different page. But nothing.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Instead of the code given, try to use this one:

Thank you for that, found what was wrong, the code is in Checkout > Notice and changed

<?php echo $this->cartClass->displayButton(JText::_('CONTINUE_SHOPPING'),'continue_shopping',$this->params,'','try{ window.top.document.getElementById(\'sbox-window\').close(); }catch(err){ window.top.SqueezeBox.close(); } return false;','id="hikashop_add_to_cart_continue_button"'); ?>

to

<a href="javascript:history.back()">Continue Shopping</a>

Many Thanks
Iain

Ok you were talking about this continue shopping button

Well, actually me thinking you were talking about that one. At present I have a nasty text line which says "continue shopping" how can I make this look like the other one within a button.

Thank You

You have to add an input button like that:

I'm using essential v2.3.3

I have a very simple cart. I have only one category (default) and I would like to be able to redirect my customer back to the category page when they click on the "Continue Shopping" button on the popup notice. It works fine with the checkout page "Continue Shopping" button.

I have tried without success to modify the code to redirect to a specific page (not a programmer, but I try).

The cloest I have come is using this recommended code in the checkout/notoice.php




I'm trying to get to "index.php/givingcards" but it returns "index.php/givingcards/givingcards" so I get the 404 page error of course.

I have "index.php/givingcards" set in the Continue Shopping button's URL box in the checkout tab, and the same thing on the main tab for "URL where you will be redirected when the cart is empty" if that matters.

I'd be happy to even hard code this if I knew how. Can you give me some direction?
Thanks

Hi,

In the view "checkout / notice", you have to replace the code: By: Then just replace " www.yoursite.com " by the desired page.

That did it!
Thank you so much.

I spoke too soon. Sorry.
So it is returning to my category page properly now after adding an item to the shopping cart and clicking on "Continue Shopping" in the popup dialog box, but then the shopping cart is emptied upon return. This only happens the first time. If I add an item again, it will remain in the shopping cart after clicking on the Continue Shopping button in the popup.

Update: with more testing, I have found clearing out the cookies in the browser makes it work properly, sort of. It will work the first time I open the browser, add an item to the cart, then click on "Continue Shopping" in the popup. After I check out, if I go back to the category page, select a product, add to cart, (which it clearly adds to the cart) then click on the "Continue Shopping" button in the popup, the cart will clear out to empty. Weird.

Hi,

I tried to reproduce the problem on several browsers on my end on your website but each time it worked fine. So all I can think of is there there is something with your browser.
Do you reproduce the issue on other browsers ?
What browser are you using ? Which version ?

I'm using Firefox 33.0.
and Internet Explorer 11.0.12
and Chrome 37.0.2062.124 m
Where it was happening all the time, it's now only happening occasionally.
I've posted a short video showing the malfunction

I wish it would either happen every time or not at all, but this occasionally makesit difficult to track down.

Update: Just noticed that if I hit the back key on the browser, the shopping cart WILL have the item in the cart! Hopefully that's a clue.
