after some search, the problem came back with the create_account.php and create_account_success.php
so kfang2004 fix is working only on returning customers. you might have same problems with new customers.
so it is not the real fix to this issue!

the real problem comes from an old fix, see this issue with the following post, which is related to the navigation history:

the real fix should be:

this code (above) is wrong, you should use:

// navigation history
if (tep_session_is_registered('navigation')) {
   if (PHP_VERSION < 4) {
	 $broken_navigation = $navigation;
	 $navigation = new navigationHistory;
	 $navigation->unserialize($broken_navigation);
   } elseif (!is_object($navigation)) {
	 $navigation = new navigationHistory;
   }
} else {
   tep_session_register('navigation');
   $navigation = new navigationHistory;
}
$navigation->add_current_page();

Thanks Demoalt, we've been struggling with this broken navigation issue for a long time and the suggestion you suggested worked brilliantly!

[reflex-ocasion]

I tried all the options and none work as needed.

Problems:

1 - the client is identified with nothing in the car... why you have to show the empty car? why not go to the front of the store?

2 - the client is identified having items in the cart... because he has to send the cover of the tent? why not go on the buying process?

Solution:

Open catalog/login.php

Find:

// restore cart contents
        $cart->restore_contents();

        if (sizeof($navigation->snapshot) > 0) {
          $origin_href = tep_href_link($navigation->snapshot['page'], tep_array_to_string($navigation->snapshot['get'], array(tep_session_name())), $navigation->snapshot['mode']);
          $navigation->clear_snapshot();
          tep_redirect($origin_href);
        } else {
          tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));
        }

Replace:

// restore cart contents
        $cart->restore_contents();

        if (sizeof($navigation->snapshot) > 0) {
          $origin_href = tep_href_link($navigation->snapshot['page'], tep_array_to_string($navigation->snapshot['get'], array(tep_session_name())), $navigation->snapshot['mode']);
          $navigation->clear_snapshot();
          tep_redirect($origin_href);
        } elseif (!$cart->count_contents() > 0) {
          tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));
        } else {
          tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING));
        }

This sends the customer to the front of the store if you have nothing in the car when it is identified, or is sent to the buying process if you have a product in the cart.

Sorry for my bad English.

what happened when the custumer add goods to his shopping cart and the system tell him that he has to create an account if he does not nave one alrready.

?

The system lead him to index after create the account instead to teh checkout process.

how can be led to his shopping cart directly instead index and/or the worst case create_account_success.php ???

By default, oscommerce will return the customer back to the last page viewed after creating an account. The posts in this thread discuss how to change that function but generally NO changes are needed.
