Everest E-Commerce "Continue Shopping" Button/Link Tip

[InfoSourcing]

Hi,

We have been asked by several Everest customer on how to implement "Continue Shopping" button/link on View cart page to be directed to the page where the shopper came from? instead of taking the shopper to storefront page.

We decided to give away this tip, to make changes to your pages, we assume you are savvy with ASP and Everest E-Commerce pages.

Steps to Perform:
Step 1: Go to Add_Item.asp page in the Includes folder and find the code sIc = Replace(Request.Form("IC"),"¶","""")
Step 2: Add this piece of code below it

'*** Customized by InfoSourcing
Session("goto") = request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER")

Step 3: Save the file and open ViewCart.asp Page and find Continue Shopping link
Step 4: Replace the default code with this
' **** Customized by InfoSourcing
<% if Session("goto") = "" then%>
<a href="<%=sNonSecurePath%>index.asp?url=IND"><img src="images/continue_shopping.gif" border=0 alt="Continue Shopping" vspace="4"></a><br>
<%else %>
<a href="<%=Session("goto")%>"><img src="images/continue_shopping.gif" border=0 alt="Continue Shopping" vspace="4"></a><br>
<%end if%>

Step 5: Open the Item.asp, Itemdesc.asp, Itemmatrix.asp pages and add the this code Session("Goto") = "" so this way the pages always get reinitialized to null and it works every single time shopper adds item to cart and he clicks on continue shopping it lands right back to the product catalog pages.
