Anyway besides javascript:history.back() to link back to the list in a View with Listing and Detail?

  • Setup: A single View with list and detail
  • Same View; not linking to a separate View
  • Use the [detaillink]on a list line item to link to detail
  • Want: Non-js-history method to link back to list view from detail

Seems like a simple thing, and yet no readily available info in the documentation.

If the list view is on a page, e.g., "https://mysite.com/myviewpage", why can't you add an HTML link to that page? I must be missing something.

Thanks, @Rob LeVine. The View is on a page, and while page names shouldn't change, sometimes, they do. When the View (list and detail) are published with the View shortcode, the [detaillink] is relative to the page. So when it's clicked, you get the /whatever-the-page-is/... Just looking for a away. As usual, overthinking it. javascript:history.back() is completely sufficient.

I'm not a big fan of history.back() as I've had mixed results with it. I prefer some js to set up the href of the link so that clicking it goes exactly where you want it. I don't want to make it harder for you though.
