Hack to send user to a catalog page when "Continue Shopping" button is
clicked instead of back where they
came from.
 
If 'continue_shopping_button.x' has any value then we will call a new
subroutine entitled
&output_catalogpage . 
 
1. Include this 'elsif' as the third  statement from the end of the main
program body of web_store.cgi:
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

elsif ($form_data{'continue_shopping_button.x'})  # ############
 {
#           
 &output_catalogpage;                                             # insert
this 
 exit;
# 
 }
# ############
 
 
elsif (($page ne "" || $form_data{'search_request_button'} ne ""
# notice we can now comment out or remove the line that was here:
#            ||($form_data{'continue_shopping_button.x'})
# comment out this line
      || $are_any_query_fields_filled_in =~ /yes/i) &&
 ($form_data{'return_to_frontpage_button.x'} eq "")) 
  {
  &display_products_for_sale;
  exit;
  }
 
else
  {
  &output_frontpage;
  exit;
  }                                                    # end of main program
body
# That's it! etc.                 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Now add the sub "Output Catalog Page" right after the "Output Frontpage"
subroutine:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#######################################################################   
#                       Output Catalog Page.
#
#######################################################################  
 
  # output_catalogpage is similar to output_frontpage but is
                # used to display the catalog page of the
  # store.  It takes no arguments and is accessed with the
  # following syntax:
  #
  # &output_catalogpage;
  #
  # The subroutine simply utilizes the display_page
  # subroutine which is discussed later to output the
  # catalogpage file, the location of which, is defined
  # in web_store.setup.  display_page takes four arguments:
  # the cart path, the routine calling it, the current
  # filename and the current line number.
 
sub output_catalogpage
  {
  &display_page("$sc_catalogpage_path", "Output Catalogpage", __FILE__,
  __LINE__);
  }
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
3. Finally, declare the path to your catalog page, whatever you've called
it, in web_store.setup.html to keep 
it consistent with the other output routines:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$sc_catalogpage_path = "./Html/Products/catalog1.html";
 
------------------------------------------------------------
