Magento Add To Cart To Cart page

Question

I am using Magento CE 1.7 for a site. The theme being used has overridden the default behavior in Magento where after adding an item to the cart, the user is taken to teh cart page; with this theme, the user remains on the same product page, with a jquery layer poppping up to show that the item is added.

I'd like the user to be taken to the cart page every time they add an item to the cart. How best can I do this?

Thanks. -TM

Answer 1

Take a look @

/app/design/frontend/default/[theme]/template/catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml

The default onclick method should be productAddToCartForm.submit(this). If your custom template have the same onclick method, then take a look at both base and your custom theme productAddToCartForm submit() method.

<button type="button" title="<?php echo $buttonTitle ?>" class="button btn-cart" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit(this)"><span><span><?php echo $buttonTitle ?></span></span></button>

Also take a look @ Admin -> System -> Config -> Sales -> Checkout -> Shopping Cart -> After Adding a Product Redirect to Shopping Cart

Does it help if you fill in return_url, like here? So you would get something like:

http://www.example.com/checkout/cart/add?Product=76&qty=1&return_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fcheckout%2Fcart%2F

Answer 3

Modify the design to not add the item to cart via javascript but rather just go to the link like magento default behaviour?

Look for the custom modules which exist in app/code/community and/or app/code/local and try to figure out the module which might be doing this - maybe named AjaxCart or similar. If you identified it, try deactivating it by editing the file app/etc/modules/NAME_OF_THAT_MODULE.xml and setting activated from true to false. Then test if the regular behavior is back.
