Anyone know of a plugin that adds to cart but doesn't leave page

Lee

Point taken will see how we can improve that when we do next design changes. The most common issue that we have is not being able to see the prices in certain browsers so perhaps that is a related issue.

Margins, floats and clears are almost certain to cause those sort of problems.

We have just installed this plug-in to our site http://www.homebits.co.uk

is it me or is your site broken?

[thorleylebens]

Was - but not anymore

Good site James, but the BUY button is poor - took me a few seconds to find it and I was already alerted...

[Duncan Rounding]

Personally I'd make the BUY button bright red or green with white or black text on it. The call to action must be very clear.

Similarly with the checkout buttons - I'd make the progress buttons (Checkout Now, Next etc.) also bright red or green.

Take a look at the colouring and positioning of the buttons here for example: http://goo.gl/I7f1L

Just discovered that the plugin does not work if www. is not used in the address bar. ie http://satellite.ie/acatalog/Freesat...e_systems.html

The stock level is not showing either. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Tried dong a wild card redirect on my server control panel but can't get it to work as I probably do not know enough about that process.

Setting up an htaccess rule so always on www is a good idea anyway, means less problems possible with actinic and something that is recommended whether you use an addon or not. Switching between the two can create all sorts of script or cookie problems.

htaccess has been mentioned many times on the forum and on the web, a search should yield precise instructions on what to do.

Thanks for the fast repons Lee, I will research that

These problems are related, in both cases the AJAX call is made to the address satellite.ie.... instead of www.satellite.ie which is defined in the Actinic code. If you monitor the network activity you see no return data from a call to satellite.ie whereas the call to www.satellite.ie returns the data. As Lee says an htaccess setup to redirect satellite.ie to www.satellite.ie will solve both these problems and others where the Actinic cart does not work correctly.

This is the recomended method

Options +FollowSymLinks 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Edit: after a bit of research and some playing around I think I have this workng ok. A big relief, just wondered how many sales I might have missed but probably a blessing in disguise in the long run.

Thanks again to Malcom, Lee and Chris at Random River.

In response to a number of private emails I can confirm that the AJAX cart plug in works with Sellerdeck 2014 in responsive mode. For anyone with an existing copy it will upgrade to 2014 but will require a minor manual change to a layout. Email me for more details.
