I have got currency switch dropdown set up on header.phtml and its working fine and changing the currency correctly but its keep redirecting back to home page every time I switched the currency. How can I prevent it from going back to home page and stay in current page after page reload?
in my browser this url was 302 before I get redirected to home page http://myshop//directory/currency/switch/currency/USD/uenc/aHR0cDovL... 302 moved temporarily
Basically,magento is change the currency at Mage_Directory_CurrencyController on switchAction() function.
And using _redirectReferer() is redirect to previous page.
May the REFERER url getRefererUrl() is not working thus magento redirect to home page .
And as send a site url has been send as option url for redirection after currency change thus it redirect to home page.
see Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action on function.
protected function _redirectReferer($defaultUrl=null) { $refererUrl = $this->_getRefererUrl(); if (empty($refererUrl)) { $refererUrl = empty($defaultUrl) ? Mage::getBaseUrl() : $defaultUrl; } $this->getResponse()->setRedirect($refererUrl); return $this; } Solution:
you need check previous page url value by adding code:
$refererUrl = Mage::helper('core')->urlDecodeAndEscape( $this->getRequest()->getParam('uenc')) ); at Mage_Directory_CurrencyController. it should be give you previous page url
