Hello

in the cart config one can define a return page to continue shopping. this returns the user to the start page, in my case the catalogs. I would like guide the user back to the product list he originally came from when adding a product to the cart.

is this possible?

thanks for any help

Hey Christophe. This isn't

Hey Christophe. Smiling This isn't possible right now, and I can't really think of any easy way to do it. I think it would require a special bit of code involving the user's session to remember what product list or catalog page they came from to create that link.

Re: Hey Christophe. This isn't

How easy would it be to write a custom module that hooks into the Cart Links API, that just keeps track of a user's referrer?

Re: Re: Hey Christophe. This isn't

I got to thinking about this and am not planning any further action for the moment for the simple reason that if you simply want the user to go back to the page they came from then you shouldn't use the redirect. Otherwise, you might consider some other sort of marketing promotion in a cart pane to direct the customer to similar products or something like that.

EDIT: This looks to be an interesting related module for Drupal 6.x - http://drupal.org/project/clickpath

EDIT 2: Looks like I'm already doing something like this with the breadcrumb! The things you discover when you do some code housecleaning. I'll look into putting this into the continue shopping link instead and leaving the breadcrumb alone.

return to product from continue shopping

Has anything further been done with this? I'm looking for the same thing - a return to the product upon clicking the "continue shopping" link.

Thanks,
amy

return to product list from 'continue shopping'

Hi folks ---

Same question, has any progress been made? We are looking at building a site where customers might order multiple variations of the same product, and being able to return to the product page is something we'd really like to have.

Any update is appreciated!

Thanks... and thanks for your amazing work!
