Change destination of Send Mail

[procheck]

Hi,

When an email is sent using the Send Mail form, the browser
is sent back to the products page. What I would like to do
is have it stay at the page in which the button was pressed
(in this case, the View Cart page) or be able to redirect it
to a different page. The reason for this is that I'm not using
the Section (index) or sub-section pages; only the product pages.
A lot of this appears to ocurr in the perl code, but that was something
I planning to learn after this job is complete. Barring an answer to this
query, I plan on removing the email button for now.

Thanks in advance

Hi there

I will ask development on how to do this, it will require a change within the MailForm.pl file in your site1 folder. I will post here once i have found the information.

Kind Regards

Hi there

Got some information back from the development team. Here is what they had written:

The standard rule we use for bouncing back is to bounce back to the last
'shop page' which is defined as any non-script file. This is why it does
not bounce back to the cart.

To specify a specific destination...

Edit MailForm.pl
Search for 'GetLastShopPage', you should see the line...

$::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob, $::Session->GetLastShopPage(), \%::g_InputHash,

replace this with...

$::g_sContentUrl, $::g_pSetupBlob, "http://myserver.com/acatalog/page.html", \%::g_InputHash,

Replace http://myserver.com/acatalog/page.html with the URL of the page to
bounce to.

Kind Regards

Hi Nadeem,

As many have said about this forum, it is quite good. One of the reasons I'm dropping my current cart is due to lack of support. When I saw only 30 days support for this software, it took me a month to decide to purchase it and I did look around first. I think I checked over 300 sites before I decided. Most forums are not that good, but this one is exceptional. Thanks for this and all of your answers.
