Adding a Back Button to Item description pages

[Guest]

Hi.. is there any way I can add a back button to the item description page, so it will take the user back to the category page?

Search the contributions for "back button"

I just stick this in the english files:

 

<CENTER><A href="java script:history.go(-1)">

<IMG src="images/button_back.gif" border="0"></A>

 

Not sure if its technically correct but seems to work for me!

This is from the Add_BACK_Button Contribution. Real simple and works great.

 

"Add a BACK button in the product_info" 
for MS2.2

This is a small modification in order to alow costumers to go back when they are in the product info page.


Step 1:
Open the file catalog/product_info.php

Step 2:
Find this:
it is about line 212

<td class="main"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, tep_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS) . '</a>'; ?></td>

And after add this:

<?php
   $back = sizeof($navigation->path)-2;
   if (isset($navigation->path[$back])) {
?>
               <td class="main" align="center"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link($navigation->path[$back]['page'], tep_array_to_string($navigation->path[$back]['get'], array('action')), $navigation->path[$back]['mode']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_back.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BACK) . '</a>'; ?></td>
<?php
   }
?>


You are done it.

I wish this to be usefull to some people.

I was having a bit of trouble with this as I use the Search Engine Friendly URLs 'ON' option. So I came up with this bit of code (I've styled the button using adtional CSS but you could work this into any site). This takes you back to the last category or sub category you looked at.

 

Add this where ever you want in the products_info.php page:

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT . '/cPath/' . $current_category_id) . '" class="continue">Continue shopping</a>

 

I've totally hacked OSCommerce so I'm not sure you have the $current_category_id variable set. Let me know if you do.
