Add to cart popup window problem

[Lee_Wallis]

I have an "add to cart" button for a product in a pop up window. However, when you add the product to your cart, it opens the "Your Basket" page in the popup window instead of the main window.

Any ideas how to fix this?

That is the normal progression - Click add to cart - go to cart - see item added - return to product (the return to product bit is controlled by 'bounce delay' - if it is set to 0 then the return does not happen).

You cannot stop it going to the cart (and you do not want to), but you can set the delay to control how long the page is visible.

Sorry, I don't think I explained very well..

My screenshot is what it looks like after I have click "Add to Cart"

Basically I need the popup window to close when "Add to Cart" is clicked and then open the confirmation page in the main window, but instead it opens the confirmation page in the popup window.

Any Ideas?

I remember doing this for V6 with JavaScript. You need to make sure that the each page open has a unique name. I used some JavaScript in the overall layout. E.g.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- (V11)
// set the window name to unique value
Now = new Date();
var WindowName = "W" + Now.getTime();
window.name = WindowName;
//-->
</script>

You might want to use Actinic's built-in PHP nowadays.


Then in the popup window you need to give the FORM a name "popform" and have some JavaScript in the BODY tag like

onload="if ( opener ){ if ( opener.WindowName ) document.forms.popform.target = opener.WindowName; }"

NB above untested!

Thanks for your help.

It does seem a lot of work though for something that obviously should be a standard thing.

No one will want the Basket page to appear in the popup window surely??!
