How to disable the view cart after a selection is made.

Since my product listings can have over 1200 per category and any single customers purchase is way over 100 items (it is a live store using osCommerce), it would cause a lot of extra browser clicks if they are sent to the shopping cart page after every selection. I am trying to set up ZC to be really close in functionality to the other but have run into some snags.

The question has been asked many times on how to skip the "view cart" after adding an item and I have yet to find an answer. If it was answered, I guess it went way over my head.

Please do not assume that I know anything about the option settings but I have all of the add to cart options set to 1301, the display button add to cart set to 1, the display products multiple qty option set to 0. I have tried many different combinations and nothing so far keeps me from viewing the shopping cart page.

One possibility that I did see that might work was by using the qty box, if the default could be set to a null, instead of 0, so I tried doing that in the db but cannot get rid of the 0. Even if it were highlighted on clicking, so you could just type over it instead of having to clear it before changing the quantity. Any ideas would be appreciated as how to do either of the two.

One last note on a button that doesn't work properly for my situation is the "list" option (the one snuggled between the left and right arrows on the product info page). It takes you back to the 1st page of the category instead of the page that you were originally on. That button is history if I can't find a fix for that, as it would drive my customers batty :wacko: . I'm thinking on modifying the script to make it just a back button using the javascript version, but any other ideas would be helpful.

:oops: Thanks, those late night admin sessions of mine are going to have to cease. I thought I went over every possible option in the system but I just flat missed the obvious!

I guess I won't feel too silly about these next ones then.

On the live site, I upload several hundred products at one time via ezpopulate and send them to a <tmp> folder where I can view them all at once and verify that all is well. I then use a multi-product.php to mass move them to where they belong. I have added the ezpopulate to ZC and tested it out (works really great:yes: ) but I can find no mention of a multi-product type admin feature (I really hope that I just overlooked it:blush: ). This leaves me with only 3 options as far as I can see...

1. Send them to the correct folder to start with and then page through maybe maybe 1200 products to verify that all is well or

2. move them one at a time to their final resting place from the <tmp> folder or

3. upload them all to a test site and verify them there before actually adding them to the live site.

Neither of the first two sounds like an option I am looking forward to choosing, and the third involves several extra steps to get it done. Again, any other ideas as to how to verify a large group of products would be appreciated.

and the second question is...

I have the columns option selected (it looks great:D ) but it does not do anything with the All Products or New Products links:( . I think I found a hint that this may be implemented in a later version and if so, was wondering if and when (roughly) that this may come about? My product listing page has 40 products (4X10) and looks similar to my live site (at www.djscollectables.com) but when either of those options are chosen, the display really looks funky, as they are in a list:down:. I would rather not have to explain to my customers that this is only temporary and will be corrected at a later date, especially when I have no idea as to what that date might be. The only other choice I seem to have would be to remove those links altogether and let the new products be viewed via the advanced search options. Since that is how they are found now, that might be my best bet until the software is changed. Again, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
