Back to Shopping Link

Forgive me if this has been addressed in another post--I couldn't seem to find it in my searching.

I would like to have the "Back to Shopping" button on my shopping cart page return to the previously-viewed page, not the homepage. I feel as though I'm losing customers when they become frustrated that instead of taking them back to page XX, they have to start over and find their spot again. I've turned off the display shopping cart after adding product feature, but for reference I would like to know if/how the link issue can be addressed.

Thanks in advance.

"Back to Shopping"???? A default install has a "Continue Shopping" selector and returns to the previous page - ZC 1.3.7 & 1.3.8 at least if not earlier.

What version are you using?

What is the url to your site?

I'm using version 1.38a and upgraded from 1.37. Never had a version earlier than this.

URL is www.mcqueeneycoins.com/catalog

Here's the button row code from the shopping_cart page:

<!--bof shopping cart buttons--> <div class="buttonRow forward"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CHECKOUT, BUTTON_CHECKOUT_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div> <div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_CONTINUE_SHOPPING, BUTTON_CONTINUE_SHOPPING_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div> <?php // show update cart button if (SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_UPDATE == 2 or SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_UPDATE == 3) { ?> <div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_image_submit(ICON_IMAGE_UPDATE, ICON_UPDATE_ALT); ?></div> <?php } else { // don't show update button below cart ?> <?php } // show update button ?> <!--eof shopping cart buttons-->

Thank you for helping me with this!

I see the button when viewing with FireFox.

Suggestion - move your shopping cart sidebox to the top of the column so it is more noticable.

Thanks, Kim.

Made the change per your suggestion.

But with regards to the button. It was never a problem of the button being there--just making it link back to the previously-viewed page. I may have to turn on the show cart after adding product feature temporarily so you can see what I mean. I'm willing to do it for a short while if you think you know how to make it link back to the product/category page, rather than the homepage.

Thank you

The problem is you are going to the Shopping Cart page from the link in the sidebox. The page is smart, but it doesn't know where you came from by going that route, so it goes to the home page.
