'add to cart' without displaying product info

**Johnv** · 23 Dec 2007, 09:38 AM

Hi
I am showing individual 'add to cart' buttons in the product listing, and I allow multiples to be added. Now, if I click 'add to cart' zencart adds te items but then displays the product info page for that product. I would prefer to add to cart without having the product info page displayed, so users don't have to click out of the product info page just to get back to the product listing.

Is there an admin option that lets me add to cart without then displaying product info? If not what would php pages would I have to modify?

thanks
John.

Have you an URL where we can better see what you are describing?

Yes, the test site is
http://meatdirectonline.com.au/zendevel

I would like users to be able to add items to the cart, and stay on the product list page.

thanks
John

In Admin/Configuration/My Store, set Display Cart After Adding Product to false.

Hi Tshooters
It is already set to false. I would like to suppress the display of product info that follows after I press 'add to cart', so I don't have to press the 'back' button to see the product list again.

thanks
John

1. Copy /includes/init_includes/init_cart_handler.php
to /includes/init_includes/overrides/init_cart_handler.php
(yes, "overrides/" is literal ... it means "overrides/", not a template name)

2. Edit the new file (in the overrides folder)
and replace this:

Code:

  if (DISPLAY_CART == 'true') {
    $goto =  FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;
    $parameters = array('action', 'cPath', 'products_id', 'pid', 'main_page');
  } else {

with this:

Code:

  if ($current_page_base == FILENAME_DEFAULT) {
    $goto =  FILENAME_DEFAULT;
    $parameters = array('action', 'cPath', 'products_id', 'pid', 'main_page');
  } elseif (DISPLAY_CART == 'true') {
    $goto =  FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART;
    $parameters = array('action', 'cPath', 'products_id', 'pid', 'main_page');
  } else {

This will cause the add-to-cart to leave the customer on the product listing page or the product-info page, depending where they came from, assuming the Display Cart After Adding Product setting is set to false.

On second thought, even this shouldn't be necessary, as the core code already does it.

I tried this at cacaocouture.com/store and can't get it to work.

Do I need to delete the non-override version?

This seems to make sense to me, so I don't know why it still goes to the listing when I try it.
Did this work for anyone?
Not work?

OK, so it does work, but not for the category listings. At least not while using the grid layout plugin.

What would I have to change to get it to return to the category listing instead of going to the product info page?

Nope... not working for me either.
I did the over-ride as per Dr Byte's suggestion, then removed the original INIT file. I set the "Display Cart after Adding Product" to "false".
