Free Shop redirecting

It's happening every year tho.
Seriously every year? I thought it would be an easy fix to change the link back button. Not a huge deal just wasn't sure if people knew it.
It was there last year and the year before .. As far as I can remember.
Yeah, it's been happening for years but it's never been fixed.
If the item doesn't restock (like Melody items or CS items), then it redirects you to shop 0. If the item does restock, then it redirects you to the shop it would normally restock in, like the Toy Shop or Quick Bites.
[edit]
There's also this:
The reason it's never been fixed is because there's not really any way to fix it.
If the item's not in stock, there's nothing to tell the sold out page you're buying from the free shop, so it uses the item's normal shop information instead. With normal shops this works fine because the item will be sold out of the right shop, but when you're buying from the free shop it unfortunately means it doesn't have the right information to redirect you.
Honestly it'll probably be this way forever and I'll be explaining this over and over again every year :P
Couldn't you tweak it to send the shop ID along to the error page?
I mean, this:
sounds like a very good reason to try to fix this bug.
Would making the free shop shopid=0 not do anything?
- Only if you missed out on something that doesn't stock in a normal NPC shop. If you missed out on one of those new cooking oils for example, it would take you to the food shop.
Yeah which is a much better alternative imo because at least those are real shops that have restocked since the unix epoch date.
I get it but that must be annoying on your end to explain every year because I am sure it happens. 8 years and I am surprised by little things that others have noticed in the past.
Wait. You already have the shop id on the error page. It's in the url:
https://subeta.net/shop.php?shopid=38
So shouldn't this be a really easy fix? You already have the data you need without having to query the database or anything.
Just pushed a fix for this :)
