"Continue Shopping" button?

Hello there,

Just getting to know Hikashop. Is there anywhere to specify a "Continue Shopping" button to show after an item is added to the cart?

regards,
Kaisa

Hi,

Not yet. That's something someone asked already last week. We'll add that to the next release.

Has this been added yet? I saw on the VJ Template ( hikashop.vjtemplates.com/ ). It asks if you would like to continue shopping when you add an item to your cart. Is that just their template, or is it something I can add to my version?

Yes it has been added. You can go in the config under the tab checkout and change the option "After a product is added to the cart" for that.

I would like to add a question to this topic and that is how to have the continue shopping button only on the first step of the checkout process since I have already a Back button in the second step and is not necessary to have both buttons - Back button and Continue Shopping button in the next steps of the checkout process.

Here is a thread which explains how to display or not buttons based on the current step of the checkout:
www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/...bel-next-button.html

I read that thread before I posted. I am using this code below in the step.php to have Submit order instead of Next in the last step of the checkout button and I am using the Back button. I thought that the URL continue shopping which is showing in all steps needs to be changed somewhere else. I would like to have it only in the first step where I then would have the Next button and the Continue shopping URL button and from the second step of checkout only Next and Back button. Besides thumbs up for the HikaShop component and its great support.

<?php
if($this->step==2){
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('SUBMIT_ORDER'),'next',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&task=step&step='.$this->step+1),'document.forms[\'hikashop_checkout_form\'].submit(); return false; ','id="hikashop_checkout_next_button"');
}else{
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('NEXT'),'next',$this->params,hikashop::completeLink('checkout&task=step&step='.$this->step+1),'document.forms[\'hikashop_checkout_form\'].submit(); return false;','id="hikashop_checkout_next_button"');
}
if($this->step!=0){
echo $this->cart->displayButton(JText::_('BACK'),'back',$this->params,hikashop::currentUrl(),'history.back();return false;','id="hikashop_checkout_back_button"');
}
?>

Hi,

I don't see any continue shopping button in your code. Did you paste all the code of the buttons ?

Your code will display always two buttons:
1 back button
1 next or submit order button

There is no continue shopping button in that code.

Hikashop is offering under system -> configuration -> checkout tab the option to put url and with that enabling the continue shopping button. This button is showing on every step of the ckeckout which I do not want. I would like to have the continue button only in the first step, because I have the buttons as above for the next steps.

Here is a thread which explains how to display or not buttons based on the current step of the checkout:

The links changed following an update of our forum.

If you know a bit of PHP and follow the directions of the other thread it's not complicated.
Otherwise, it is.
