Ajax error in product listing


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

When you click on a category in my site and then go to say page 2 or 3 of the results, click the product and view it - when you click "back" on the browser window - it takes you to the first page of the results.

 

You can see the problem here:

(go to page 2 or 3 and do as above).

 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Steve,

 

If I have understood the problem correctly you want the browser to go back to the previous product listing when clicking the browsers back-button (e.g. page 2 if you're on page 3)?

 

If this is the case, there is no easy way to do this since Ajax-calls leaves no history in the browser.

The only way to make this happen would be to disable Ajax (if it is possible at all for the module in question).

Hi Mike thanks for the clarification.

 

If this is by design then I am completely at a loss. If I go on a store and search for "ties" I am taken to the search results which usually span more than 1 page. If I go on page 3 and then click through to view a product I would expect the back button to take me back to the last page of search results I looked at.

 

Surely there must be some way of turning Ajax off or fixing this problem? Ajax in the search results system is completely useless and gives no advantages to user experience.

No problem, it's always fun to help :)

 

As I see it now it appears to work as intended? When I hit the back-button it returns to my last search.
