    Default "Continue Shopping" link not working when coming from the product listing page

    "Continue Shopping" link not working when coming from the product listing page,

    exactly that,

    If I select some products on the products listing page and add them to the cart and then press the continue shopping button I get taken to the shops index page,

    If i go to a product page and add it to the cart and then click continue shopping I get taken back to that products page

    Is there someway to fix this

    as I can't figure out why it isn't passing the referring url to the button

    Any help would be massively appreciated

    The Continue shopping returns to the previous page when the navigation knows where to go ... if it gets lost, then it returns to the home page ...

    If you click on a few Categories then do a listing ... you will probably find the navigation is working ...

    Hi Ajeh

    I hate say this

    But

    no matter what I try I cannot get the Cart to return to the "product listing" page it came from

    The cart always returns to a product page if it has come from one with no problems

    Just in case i am messing up the terminology and not calling the page by it's correct name

    What i refer to as the product listing page is the one were multiple products are listed

    eg
    Product listing page click

    What i refer to as a product page is the page that has only the one product on it

    Product page click


    What is the variable I should be checking to see what/if anything is being passed to the cart in regards to the referring page

    Ok I'm back and i still haven't managed to sort this problem out yet

    I have found that it isn't just me

    I looked at a couple of stores in the showcase

    monkeying around

    and

    Wotatime

    and they both had the same issue and from what i can tell from the front end there doesn't appear to be any commonality between the mods installed (at least those that you can tell on the front end)

    Default Re: "Continue Shopping" link not working when coming from the product listing page

    Hi Dr Byte, Ajeh

    what piece of code/variable handles this function and could I possibly get a link to a site that this works correctly on, as all the sites i have tested seem to have the same issue

    I am not sure if it is a case of me explaning this badly or i am misinterpreting how the function is supposed to work but...
    The page i am calling the Products listing page is the one that appears when you click on a category and it has a list of multiple products with a little box next to each product where you specify the amount you want of the product and then you click the add selected products to cart button (located above the products list) and it adds those products to the cart, then once you are in the cart you click on the Return to shopping link and instead of taking you back to the product listing page it drops you on to the sites index page.

    Surely i am not the only person who is having this problem, personally I never noticed it until a couple of people contacted me about it and now it frustrates me, don't get me wrong I am not trying to have a go at anyone but i can't figure this out

    I am assuming that the shopping carts return to shopping function is reliant on the referring page sending a Product id, which will work when you come from a product page but not if you come from a product listing page where there is no actual product id in the referrer

    My semi-cunning plan is that if there is no product id, I will make it instead use the category ID, however that is probably fraught with issues because if the products listing covers multiple pages, they will always end up on the first page

    Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.
