Modify the Homepage Add to Cart Button to Direct a Customer to the Product Page
This guide will help you modify the "add to cart" buttons on your homepage so they always lead a customer to the Product page rather than the View Cart page:
This will take you to your currently installed Theme folder. If the template referenced in the sections below are not present, then it can be found using the "Go to Folder" drop-down located at the top right and selecting the templates/common-core or common-html5 folder (depending on the type of theme you are using). From here, select the appropriate template file.
For Core Themes
In the product_items.html template, look for the block of coding found within the following start and end tags:
<!--START: addtocart-->
<--END: addtocart-->
Change the coding in the block to the following:
<div class="action">
<a href="product.asp?itemid=[catalogid]" class="btn btn-default">
<span class="buyitlink-text">[category_buyitlink] </a>
</div>
For HTML5 Themes
Find the following section in the home.html template
<input type="button" value="[category_buyitlink]" onClick="window.location='add_cart.asp?quick=1&item_id=[catalogid]'" class="btn" onMouseOver="this.className='btn_over'" onMouseOut="this.className='btn'">
You will need to change this part:
onClick="window.location='add_cart.asp?quick=1&item_id=[catalogid]'"
To this:
onClick="location.href='product.asp?itemid=[catalogid]'"
