Prev/Next product

Hello all.



Based on this request [url]http://cscart.uservoice.com/forums/40782-general/suggestions/503201-prev-next-button-when-editing-products?ref=title[/url], we plan to add prev/next links to the following objects:


products
users
orders
shipments
gift certificates
return requests (rma addon)
subscriptions (recurring billing addon)
events (gift registry addon)
affiliates




We’ll save the last search results in the session, and add prev/next links to navigate between them on the details page. Link to the latest search will be added to the breadcrumbs, e.g.



back to: Products (link to products list page) :: Search results (link to the latest product search results)




Also, we’ll add the “Save and close” button (so, we’ll have “Save”, “Save and close” and “Cancel” buttons on the details page) to save data and return to the latest search results.



As always, any ideas and suggestions are appreciated.



Thanks,

I like save and save + close. Now the save button acts differently.

Please add Edit button in product details (store front) for admin to edit product in (back end).

What will determine the prev/next object? The ‘Position’ field or the search criteria?

Valid Question, and yes I would like it this way. Especially for customers.



← Previous | Search Results for ‘ABC’ | Next →

The position will be determined by the sorting used in the search, e.g.



by price: [url]Instant Demo - CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Demo Try Free for 15 days

by product code: [url]Instant Demo - CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Demo Try Free for 15 days



and so on

This is an excellent layout for a choice on detail product page on storefront side.

Such a choice is really needed to improve customer experience when they are trying to browse through a listing of products that does not show all options and other details in that search or category listing.

I don’t see this functionality in 2.1.1. Is it hidden there somewhere or was the plan shelved?

It’s only available when editing products on the admin side.



Having a similar feature on the customer side would have been much more beneficial as a satisfactory customer shopping experience is the #1 way in increasing sales.

These guys have been pretty good at listening to us so put it in the ideas section. The implementation they did was for the admin side which is what was requested.

Well, several people DID request a customer version of this during the development:

and in the original “idea”:

Understood but did any of the people who suggested this put this in the ideas area so it could be voted on which is how cs-cart determines what functionality they will add in? The request in ideas was for an admin change which is completely different than a front end change. These are clearly 2 separate requests and should be treated as such as they affect completely different pages. I think both changes are great additions to the cart but I personally had voted on the admin change for it’s own merits since it is a huge time saver for me.

Also once you get this added into the Ideas area please post the link to it in this thread as I would vote on that one as well.

VOTE!

great idea :slight_smile:

So on a product detail page (that you can get to from a large variety fo prior links - filters, features, searches, categories, etc.), what should the prev/next take you to?

I wish prev and next to have a small thumbnail of the product they link to it! Also can the sort (ascending and descending) arrows be more evident?
