Question for Dani

Dani,

I think I closed out the ticket to soon (went back to update but did not have that option).
I have updated the live site we were working on. Everything worked great up until I selected learn more and redirected to the product details page. Instead of the side menu showing purchased products it reverted to rentals - not sure why.

The path to get there is on the home page click on the purchasing equipment banner (upper right side). Then select infant care/infant Ventilators/ in the side menu. The Drager product should show on the right (showing the price). Select learn more and that's when the side menu reverts.

I am hoping this is a quick fix as I am at the 11th hour.

Let me know if (since I closed the original ticket) I have to pay to open another ticket.

Thanks again.
Rob

Hey Robert.

I think the issue is that when you come back from the detail page, the Product Category is missing and it is loading the default which is Rentals.

To fix that you will need to pass ProdcutCategoryID to the detail page and then update the link on the detail page to include the ProductCategoryID

To do that, add a session on the Results page to store the ProductCategoryID.

$_SESSION['ProductCateogryID'] = $_GET['ProductCategoryID'];

And then update the link on the detail page to include the id by adding the following:

link.php?ProductCategoryID=<?php echo $_SESSION['ProductCategoryID']; ?>

Let me know if you have any issues.

Dani,
Thanks for getting back to me.

I tried adding the session code (<?php echo $_SESSION['ProductCateogryID'] = $_GET['ProductCategoryID']; ?>) on the last line before the <html> tag in the results.php page and then updated the link on the details.php page but it did not work.
Looking at the site everything is fine up to the results page. Defaulting to rentals comes when I click on the learn more button on the results.php page and go to the details page.

I tried to change the link on the results.php page to the one you specified above, but that did not work either.

I am not sure if there is another page to modify at this point.

Can you send me the code for the Learn More button on the results page. It seems that you will just need to add the ProdcutCategoryID to the link.

When I visit the following url:

products_results.php?Search=1&ProductCategoryID[]=1

The Learn more don't have the ProductCategoryID in the url.

Dani,
I have zipped and attached the following files:
Under themes:Theme_Settings
Templates: purchase_page.dwt (connects to Martab-Medical-Purchase-Equipment.php)
Catalog/Basic: results.php
Catalog: results.php and details.php
and the side_menu folder.

I also included the string to get to the purchases section. Once there you can click on:
Infant Care to expand and then Infant Ventilators which will show Drager Babylog on the right side with the learn more button. When you click on that button the side menu on the next page reverts back to the Rentals category.

Thanks, let me know if you need anything else.
Rob

Looking at the results.php it looks like you have a misspelling on this line:

<?php echo $_SESSION['ProductCateogryID'] = $_GET['ProductCategoryID']; ?>

You can remove that line since we don't need to use it on the results page, then update the following line:

<a class="ps_buttons" href="../../../products_detail.php?ProductID=<?php echo(rawurlencode($ProductID)); ?>">Learn more</a>

to

<a class="ps_buttons" href="../../../products_detail.php?ProductCategoryID=<?php echo $_GET['ProductCategoryID']; ?>&ProductID=<?php echo(rawurlencode($ProductID)); ?>">Learn more</a>

I'm not sure if you are using the results page in the catalog folder or in the basic folder depending on the theme you are using, but you should make the changes in both files.

On the Details.php page, you will need to update:

<a href="../../../products_results.php" class="ps_buttons">Back to Product Catalog</a>

to

<a href="../../../products_results.php?ProductCategoryID=<?php echo $_GET['ProductCategoryID']; ?>" class="ps_buttons">Back to Product Catalog</a>

This should always ensure the category id is passed around to the results and detail page.

Dani,

I worked on the files late Friday night. I took out the unnecessary line of code then copied and pasted the learn more (both results pages) and back to buttons from above. When I click on the results link I get the following error on the details page:

The page renders to a white background (no graphic copy or images) and just this message; Unknown column 'A' in 'where clause'

I went through to try and troubleshoot over the weekend with no success. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I am past the project deadline and my client needs this up so they don't miss their window.

I am attaching the updated files for reference.

Thanks.
Rob
