I have a client who's asked if Storez can be configured to match the "Add to Cart" style which seems to be becoming more prevalent. By that I mean that the 'Order' button is labeled 'Add to Cart' instead and clicking it does NOT take you to the Cart, but leaves you still on the shopping page.

I couldn't see an option for this, so checked the code. In cart.php addtoCart() exits via a urlredirect to showCart. It seems that merely changing this to return to the originating screen should accomplish the desired effect.

One obvious issue is knowing where the originating screen is. In the absence of any DF function (that I can think of), I'm planning to add a(nother) hidden field with the URL, as items can be purchased from either a product or a store screen.

I just wondered if you see a problem with this approach? Or if you have attempted same in past? This is on an existing Storez on v9.3.6, but if if I pull this off, there's hope of a new Storez site, on v9.4.0.

Thanks in advance for your time!

the only thing that changes is the size of the circle.

Used to work that way and was removed because a couple of users felt it confused customers.

I guess it all depends on where you shop!

But thanks for this, good to know that it won't break basic flow. I also hear the advice, so will leave old code in place commented out for when/if they ask me to change it back!

Not so much where you shop - usually the type of shopper and how many purchases they are likely to make at the same time. Invariably this is one item which immediately defeats the whole purpose.

These days I just give them what they want, but as an option, so I don't have to change the bloody code back again. I've recently been through an exercise in ultimate stupidity where I have spent six months restoring, one by one, every bloody feature of a whole website I was told (despite my protests) to remove - go figure.

Agreed! 1 client, 2 sites/stores: one as Add to Cart and 1 as Order - for just this reason.


I understand! Seen the length of the Pro_News Config screen recently?

But more and more recently I've found I can meet user requirements through specialised Pro_News templates! Really helps, as the base code (Pro_News) doesn't have to be retested each time. (All learnt through reading reDesign templates - php includes - and Storez templates - complex IF conditions!)
