Stupid question maybe: Does this new functionality break all the forms I've configured in the past to stay on the same page when doing ADPR?

By Default, nothing changes. However if you explicitly update the forms actions to use the the URI Management variables (&mvte:urls:CTGY:rr;) then it is possible you need to modify the form inputs.

Works great ... Saved me! Almost ...

Is there a way to give the user a message that a product has been added to the cart and stay on the same page?

this works with attributes:

<form method="post" action="&mvte:category:link;">
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
<input type="hidden" name="Quantity" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
<mvt:item name="buttons" param="AddToBasketE" />
</form>

This method seems to reload the selected attribute into all the other attributes on the page. It might freak someone out, I know I was by it. So what is the best way to stay on the CTGY page that has attributes being added to the basket and have it clear the previously selected attributes when the page reloads?

Are you using the "Quick View" readytheme function from the category screen? If so, you can pass whatever variables in the data-product-link of the quickview link, including screen or category codes. That way you can retain offset, customer-selected filters and searches, etc.

As for a "cart success" message, all you need to do is add a detection for the ADPR action to your CTGY header (or wherever you want it to appear) and style it appropriately:

<mvt:if expr="g.Action EQ 'ADPR' AND l.settings:messages:error_message_count EQ 0">

I can't speak to the attribute portion since I filter customers to product pages for attribute selection, but I would imagine using the quick view function instead of embedding attribute selections on the CTGY pages would solve this since quick view of product is loaded independently of the category products.

I have another issue in the same topic here. I have attributes on a cat page with a default option. It adds to cart fine and resolves back to the cat page fine but the default options are no longer selected except for the one that I added to cart originally. Here is the form code and some screen shots.

<form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY">
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Screen" value="&mvte:global:Screen;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Old_Search" value="&mvte:global:Search;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="ADPR" />
<input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="&mvte:store:code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvte:product:code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Category_Code" value="&mvte:global:category_code;" />
<input type="hidden" name="Offset" value="&mvte:global:Offset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="AllOffset" value="&mvte:global:AllOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="CatListingOffset" value="&mvte:global:CatListingOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="RelatedOffset" value="&mvte:global:RelatedOffset;" />
<input type="hidden" name="SearchOffset" value="&mvte:global:SearchOffset;" />

Not sure why these images are so small. I picked large. I can email if need be.

This is a work around but it leaves ?reload at the end of the url

<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.href.indexOf('reload')==-1)
{
location.href=location.href+'?reload';
}
</script>

No help here?

It sounds like you are having the issue I'm having with a CTGY page that has attributes and can be ordered from. When the page reloads all the products have the same attribute previously selected. It can be seen here: https://www.unfinished-kitchen-cabin...WN1KB-BCP.html

Actually my issue is the opposite sort of. I have the least amount of a set of measurements as the default. When you add to cart the default selection is not selected anymore throughout the category. I used the above work around but it adds ?reload to the end of the url after adding to cart. Here:

I guess we're on our own here, right?

My javascript foo is weak but I think the snippet you are using is doing exactly what it's being told to do:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.href.indexOf('reload')==-1)
{
location.href=location.href[COLOR=#FF0000][B]+'?reload';[/B][/COLOR]
}
</script>

Try removing the javascript and changing

<form method="post" action="&mvte:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY">

to

<form method="post" action="&mvte:category:link;">

or an equivalent that uses the category code in the action link.

That is what I'm doing. It does add to cart and land back on the cat page but the form has not completely resolved. You have to reload the page for the default attribute selections to refresh. There's got to be a fix for this. It's the same situation when you add to cart on some other pages in miva and then refresh your page, you get a pop up asking you if "Are you sure you want to send a form again?" Something during the add to cart process is not completely resolving.
