Cannot continue shopping once I am on the shopping cart page

[kathy@.....com]

If a customer is on the shopping cart page and decides to continue shopping, the links in the product menu generated by VM do not work.The customer cannot exit the shopping cart. (The links to pages in a separate menu not generated by VM work just fine.) I am using OPC 2.0.79 with Joomla 2.5.5 and VirtueMart 2.0.8c.

Hello Kathy,
right now OPC uses solely VM's code to decide which was the last visited category id for which the continue link is set. If you have a custom display of the product or the category, maybe you may want to set the category id within the flypage of the product with:

to get:

Code: Select all

$session = JFactory::getSession();
      return $session->get('vmlastvisitedcategoryid', 0, 'vm');


to set:

Code: Select all

$session = JFactory::getSession();
$session->set('vmlastvisitedcategoryid', 0, 'vm');  // where 0 is the category ID


In the next release (2.0.83) we will send the echo $continue_link; variable also to the basket.html.php so it shows properly on icetheme template and the link will be generated by OPCloader->getContinueLink(...

Best Regards,
Stan
