How do I redirect "Done" button on receipt page.

[skinnybloke]

Hi - the "Done" button on the receipt page redirects to the previous product page used. How can I modify this to redirect to a page of my choice?

[ask]

Taken Directly from the Advanced User Guide:

"At the end of the checkout phase, the customer is shown a receipt. At the bottom of the receipt there is a 'Done' button that takes you back to the starting page of the catalog (normally 'index.html'). However, it is possible to customise this button so it will take you to wherever you want it to.

To do this, go to 'Design | Options | Miscellaneous'. Tick 'No Frames in Checkout' and enter the URL of the required destination page in the 'URL for Completed or Aborted Checkout' field."

Hi - I've tested this and it gives me problems for a logged on user.

If I set it to "index.html" it replies back with an "Error 404 - page not found error".

If I set it to "http://www.domainname.com/acatalog/index.html" it goes back to the correct page but loses the logon information (e.g. buyer name etc)

Is there anything that I can change that will retain this information for a logged in user?

Try using a link of the following form in the 'URL for Completed and Aborted Checkout' field:

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=index.html&NOLOGIN=1

I just tested it with 6.1.3 and IE6 and it worked well.

Thanks Chris - that's another issue sorted.

Hi - this is coming back to an old post of mine.

Can I cahnge this:

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=index.html&NOLOGIN=1

so that it goes back to the index.html file in the root directory as opposed to the one in the acatalog directory?

Yeah - you should just be able to add a '/' before index - i.e. 'cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=/index.html&NOLOGIN=1'

Hope this helps!

Hi Richard - I'm afraid that this did not work. It gave me '//' before index i.e. "http://www.domainname.com/acatalog//index.html"

..but I took your idea and added '../' before index - i.e. 'cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SECTIONID=../index.html&NOLOGIN=1'

This seems to work (unless anyone knows why I should not use this). Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello David,

That should be fine - I use the ../ myself and haven't encountered any problems- sorry I should have tested the initial code before posting.

Cheers
