this is a continuation of an earlier topic from a few weeks ago.
the situation is this: say a user goes to my HP, then clicks the Cart icon, then clicks on the Return to Shop box.
I want the user to return to the HP, and not be sent the WooCommerce Shop page, which is the default behavior.
here is the relevant Atelier HTML
<a class="button wc-backward" href="https://needlepoint.land/index.php/catalog-2/">Return To Shop</a>
I wrote a JS function that should work. This code has been examined by other programmers on Stackoverflow. This function was tested in other environments and it worked fine there. But it does not execute correctly on WP/Woocommerce/Atelier using O, FF, or Chrome.
Can anyone at Swiftideas tell me if they know of something (some Atelier listener, for instance) that may be sitting on the server side and preventing/blocking the referrer string (or even a harcoded URL, which I also attempted to use as a redirect) from being assigned to the a element’s href?
Is this an Atelier issue? Or is this some sort of browser sandbox thing?
I may have to go to WP.org forums for further insight into solving this problem, but I thought I would first ask Swiftideas support for guidance.
Here is the code (as you can see, I attempted several methods to perform the redirect):
window.onload = function () {
document.querySelector(".button.wc-backward").onclick = function() {
// query selector works as expected
var URLstring = document.referrer; // works fine
window.location.assign(URLstring); // blocked
window.location.href = URLstring; // href unchanged, blocked
setTimeout(function () {
window.location.href = URLstring; },100); // blocked, even with delay
return false; // does not cancel default behavior
}
}
Thanks as always for any help you can provide.
