I'm having a problem with using the browsers previous and next button while navigating through my products.
i set the configuration of the product listing to show 20 products per page. When navigating to the next page (with products 21 to 40). I click on a product to view the productpage and when i try to use the browsers Previous Button (to go back to the previous page) I get a blank page.
I've tested this problem with several browsers: firefox, chrome, IE, Opera, Safari, but it's al the same.
I've never seen such problem where the page is totally blank.
Can you turn on the "error reporting" and "debug mode" options of the Joomla configuration and try again ? Do you get an error message on that blank page now ? If not, you must look in the PHP error log of your web server where the errors are stored.
I would like to ask why is pagination using POST method instead of GET. It has several downsides from SEO point of view as site is not fully crawlable.
That's not a blank page but a browser alert page to avoid resubmit.
It can potentially be avoided with a redirect:

We're thinking into maybe adding that in the future but we would need some feedback first.
HikaShop uses the Joomla pagination system and the Joomla pagination system uses a POST. Using a GET would mean having a really ugly URLs as we need complex parameter names since the system handles several paginations on the same page (and thus the parameters needs to be differentiated for each listing), like for example when you have a categories listing on several pages with a products listing with several pages below it.
And having a POST instead of a GET doesn't change much for google. It won't have any problem looking into the parameters when crawling the pages.
Sorry for bumping an older thread but I'm curious if this issue will be addressed in any Hikashop release soon?
It is indeed something that a lot of users are facing when using pagination and the back button of the browser.
