How to Stay on the Category Page After an Item Has Been Added to the Cart.

How to stay on the category page after an item has been added to the basket instead of ending up on the basket page?

I have this set up on the old store, but can not remember how to do it or find it on line.

In the Category Product List Template, look for the form that surrounds the 'Add to Basket' button. You should see an entry <input type="hidden" name="screen" value="BASK"> change BASK to CTGY.

Here is what I changed:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY">

And it works.

Thank you very much.

I have this and I cannot get it to work by changing anything:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:BASK:rr;">
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Screen" value="&mvte:global:Screen;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Search" value="&mvte:global:Search;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="Attributes" value="Yes" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Current_Product_Code" value="&mvte:global:Product_Code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Category_Code" value="&mvte:global:Category_Code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Offset" value="&mvte:global:CatListingOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="AllOffset" value="&mvte:global:AllOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="CatListingOffset" value="&mvte:global:CatListingOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="RelatedOffset" value="&mvte:global:RelatedOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="SearchOffset" value="&mvte:global:SearchOffset;" />
<mvt:item name="buttons" param="AddToBasketE" />

Right after:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:BASK:rr;">

add

<input type="hidden" name="screen" value="CTGY" />

Thank you for the reply but that does not work. I get this message:

The item you requested is not available at this time.

Here is the url:

Try this:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY">
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Screen" value="&mvte:global:Screen;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Search" value="&mvte:global:Search;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="Attributes" value="Yes" />
<input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="&mvte:store:code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Current_Product_Code" value="&mvte:global:Product_Code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Category_Code" value="&mvte:global:Category_Code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Offset" value="&mvte:global:CatListingOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="AllOffset" value="&mvte:global:AllOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="CatListingOffset" value="&mvte:global:CatListingOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="RelatedOffset" value="&mvte:global:RelatedOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="SearchOffset" value="&mvte:global:SearchOffset;" />
<mvt:item name="buttons" param="AddToBasketE" />
</form>

Nope, that doesn't work either. I had already tried that. The original post that I posted is the only one that will actually add to basket but it lands on the basket. The reason for a line item view in a category is to be able to add one and then add another or two. I have this working on many earlier versions of miva but this most recent upgrade with uri management has changed a lot. Maybe someone from miva can add their input at this stage!

What happens if you change

<form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:BASK:rr;">

to

<form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:CTGY:rr;">

Same deal. And it resolves to this url http://www.pit-bull.com/CTGY.html.

I get this:

The item you requested is not available at this time.

The reason this URI won't work is because this just takes you to the root relative (//domain.com) version of the CTGY page:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:CTGY:rr;">

It does not include the current category code you are on. Instead you need the category URI for the category you are viewing:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:category:link;">

This should output the search friendly version the the current category you are on.

Sorry but that nets the same result. It does resolve to the category url it still says not found. and does not add to cart.

It may be a conflict because you are also passing all the form hidden inputs. Miva may be seeing the Screen twice and Category Code twice.

Try using a simple add to cart form:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:category:link;">
	<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
	<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" value="1" />
	<input type="hidden" name="Attributes" value="Yes" />
	<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
	<mvt:item name="buttons" param="AddToBasketE" />
</form>

Brennan, are the new link structures documented anywhere?

Re: How to Stay on the Category Page After an Item Has Been Added to the Cart.

Success! That works if you don't have attributes this works with attributes:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:category:link;">
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
<mvt:item name="buttons" param="AddToBasketE" />
</form>


Thank you!
