Thank you - return to store problem

[David Gray]

The Commerce Setup "Thank you" screen includes an anchor link to return to
the store. I'd like to put a test here to direct the customer back to one of
two places depending on which of two web pages they originally came from. Is
this possible?

I tried embedding some PHP here inside <?PHP ?> tags to check my session
variable but the tags were not interpreted. Can I not embed PHP here?

You cannot embed php code on the thank you screen since that page is
generated from a CGI script. You can use an order API script to output
links/text at the top of the receipt page, or use Javascript to detect user
information or query the javascript variables ShopSite includes. You could
also use the "CALL" tag in a custom cart template to call a perl/php script
as well.

Ok, having shopping cart variables accessible via javascript completely
solves my problem. I'd totally forgotten these were available on each page.
I can tell where they came from by what's in the cart. Thanks Rob!
