How to make a back link on article page to list page the same which came? I have few list page, on each list page have links to 2 articles, articles have a back link POWRÓT < [= Back]. I would make a link on article page which will enable me to return to the page from which I came not to the first.

Hi esteban,

So the problem is that users might be on page 3 of your list page (which uses pagination,) click a link to a detail page, and you want to provide a link back to page 3 of your list page instead of page 1?

This is a little tricky, but I have a solution for you.

On your list page, change the "_link" code from this:

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>">

...to this:

<a href="wydarzenia-art.php?page=<?php echo @$_REQUEST['page'] ? htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['page']) : 1 ?>&num=<?php echo $record['num'] ?>">

...replacing the code in red with the name of your record variable.

And then change the link in your detail page from:

<a href="wydarzenia-lista.php">

...to this:

<a href="wydarzenia-lista.php?page=<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['page']) ?>">

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.
All the best,
Chris

Almost working :-) Look at link: http://goo.gl/2hct
there displays a &num=3"> i don't know how improve code and the link is wrong not to the right article.

You wrote: "...replacing the code in red with the name of your record variable. " I do not know how to do it. What is this record variable in my case?

Thanks Chris

I'm trying to achiev the same thing but am confused by "wydarzenia-lista.php". Is this something specific to esteban?

Can you give me the generic way to solve this problem?

Can you not use a PHP referrer. So:
<?php
$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER;

echo '<a href="$ref "> <<back </a>'; ?>
Does that help?

Does that not assume that they have always come from the news listing page? Sometimes they may have come from a third party link such as a search engine.

It will always go back to the exact previous page, i.e:

- link from Google
- Page 8 0f 15 (for example) of your listings page

Does that help? Best bet is to try it & see if it does what you're after!

Cheers

no, I want it to go back to the listing page that had the article introduction on it.
