"return to product" button

[TraceyHand]

I didn't bother with a separate button I just copied the breadcrumb from INNERLAYOUT to the top of the page with the product ref/description on the line above

yes...that's something I've done too...I just wasn't sure that, in my case, it was consipicuous/intuitive enough for a visitor who had just arrived at the website via the extended info page.

Tracey,
I'm sure some clever javascript bunny could write a little javascript method that checks to see if the page has been opened by a parent window or not and display the "close this window" OR "click here for product listing" accordingly?

just a thought.

actually, the link underneath my "return to product listing" does a similar thing... closing the pop up, if it is one...or, alternatively, if it's been "landed on" as a main page, acting as a browser "back" link

So yes, I'm sure it would be possible...then it could either close the window OR link to the listings page and I could lose one of the links!

actually...I'm sure I can do that myself...

let's see, shall we?

Wow! That's asking a lot of your actual real life surfer

you've obviously not dealt with many of "my kind" of customers

Nope. We believe the future is going to be an interactive screen that we can leap out of, grab 'em by the scruff of the neck and personally lead them to the page they want

right...so close...but so far

I got it to work in IE...but it doesn't work in FF (and I'm used to stuff happening the other way around!)

I'll leave it "as is" for now (other things to do)..no doubt I'll confront it again soon

Looking at my bread crumb problem it looks as if the trail always uses the path to a duplicate item if one exists. Perhaps this is something to do with the way the data is ordered or indexed.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Mine don't do this.
THIS is an original

THIS is a duplicate

as is THIS

Are you extended info pages unique for each duplicate?
That's the only reason I can think that a genuine duplicate extended info wouldn't show the right breadcrumb trial

Just a little note to say thanks to all on this thread - top tips and gave me some instant answers and ideas. Customers can now navigate our site from extended info pages that they find by seo! Well worth the mornings forum search and playing. Cheers D

Have you tried

<a href="<actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" />#<actinic:variable name="EncodedProductAnchor" />">Click</a>

It works fine on Catalog Sites. Not sure about Business logged-in pages as I've not tested it on that.

Well done Norman!
Succinct and accurate, as always.

Precisely what I was looking for.

As usual, telephone support had no idea .....

Many thanks
