Add to Cart action hack- redirecting to Categories page

[digitalou]

Any of you Javascript geniuses out there find a way to do this: Allow a shopper to add an item to the cart, but instead of the usual followup action that sends them to quickcart, view cart, or checkout, your store redirects them instead to another product or category page?

I tried hacking the hard code on listing_0 page, changing the ProductAddtoCart button javascript handler to execute two events (1.adding item to cart and 2.redirecting to a category page). THis isn't working on Firefox or Chrome. Here's my code, if anyone's interested in giving my pointers on a better way to get it done.

<input type="button" onClick="check_and_add(document.add); window.location='Plans_c_7.html';" name="Add" ID="Add" value="[product_addtocart]" class="btn" onMouseOver="this.className='btn_over'" onMouseOut="this.className='btn'"/>

Sorry, don't have a ton of time to try anything too in depth( about to head out the door..lol) You can try this instead:

<input type="button" onClick="check_and_add(document.add); window.location.replace("http://yourdomain.com/Plans_c_7.html");" name="Add" ID="Add" value="[product_addtocart]" class="btn" onMouseOver="this.className='btn_over'" onMouseOut="this.className='btn'"/>

i would ajax the add to cart part and just do a redirect.

$.serializeArray() on the form itself and just send it as an ajax post with the default form action. on success() just do window.location(yourlocationhere)

Actually theres a way without a hack and without javascript now: http://forums.3dcart.com/announcemen...ry-2014-a.html

For category pages you could change your add to cart url to something like this: add_cart.asp?quick=1&item_id=[catalogid]&returnurl=[the url you want to go to]

and for product pages you could add this inside of the add to cart form that gets submitted:

<input type="hidden" name="returnurl" value="[the url you want to go to]">

I haven't tested these recently but I had them working before we changed our add to cart to an ajax method.

I wasn't able to use $.serializeArray() and get it to work. I think it had something to do with the image upload part, and I couldn't find a way around it.

I had to use "new FormData(document.add)" inside of $.ajax, and fallback to the default action if a browser didn't support it.
