Add to cart button does not redirect to the previous page.

[PODavies]

I removed the Add to cart button from the product page to force customers to the product details and set the Add to cart button to redirect to the previous page so it would return customers to the product page. However, clicking on the add to cart button in the product details does add the product to the cart but does not return to the previous page. How can I fix this? I am using Prestashop 1.5.6.0.

...wha..? 

 

 product details /product page...what should be the difference? 

Also, can you share the code you use for the redirection? I assume javascript?

I removed the Add to cart button from the page with the list of products so the customers would go to the product attributes and select the attributes before adding to the cart. But once they have added the product to the cart, I want them sent back to the list of products so they can see if there is anything else they want. The back office provides 2 option to redirect customers after clicking the Add to cart - to the basket summary page or the previous page so I selected the previous page (i.e. the page with the list of products) but it does not work. I do not know anything about the codes, this was done by selecting the options in the back office.

Try disabling the ajax cart, but I don't think that option is meant to do what you mean. I never used it but I believe previous page means 'stay on the same page'

exactly, previous page means that after adding stuff to cart you will see product page, whole process looks like: product page > add to cart > cart > product page
