Login Destination back to Cart Page

[mccanm]

Hi

I am trying to change the destination page that the customer sees when they login i.e. they have entered user name and password and hit submit.

Basically I want a login link on the cart page and then on submit the customer is returned to the cart page i.e. It results in a refreshed cart page showing specific offers to the customer's group.

I tried changing the URL in the login.html page to http://myURL.com/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl as per P62 in the AUG but it continues to take the customer to the catalog index page.

Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated

Clear cookies and temporary pages on your machine and check again to confirm it is REALLY not working

Still not working

Hi Bill

I cleared all the cookies and the cache and the problem remains. Let me just check if I've got this right per the AUG, because it does not feel correct.

I am opening up the login.html in the siteHTML folder and locating the line:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="ACTINIC_REFERRER" VALUE="http://www.myurl.co.uk/acatalog/index.html">

Underneath this I am adding the line.

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="PRODUCTPAGE" VALUE="http://www.probiker.co.uk/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl">

However when I upload the login.html page appears to be regenerated as part of the refresh and the line with the cart URL is no longer there when I look at the source code for the login page on the live site.

This feels correct because I have always made changes to the templates contained in the site1 folder never in the siteHTML folder, so I believe I should be making changes to Act_LoginPage.html if they are to persist through the upload process.

Thoughts??

Unfortunately, the proviso on the instructions in the AUG do state the landing page has to be within the /acatalog/ folder on your website.

This means you could use

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="PRODUCTPAGE" VALUE="index.html">

or

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="PRODUCTPAGE" VALUE="anotherpagename.html">

but not anything in the cgi-bin folder.

How is a potential customer meant to acquire a login id? I tried to look at the site and found even the root index asks for a login id and password.

Hi Bill

I've been on the phone to support, sounds like I have to go through a catalog page to get the cart to refresh with the login id. Shame it would be good to be able to login from the cart and land back at the cart immediately.

BTW I have an htaccess file up at the moment which is why you can't get to the site.

Thanks for your help.
