    Hello, I am using AWS for my site and would like to change the formatting of certain pages depending on the internal referrer page. I have tried document.referrer inside ajaxComplete() but it is empty and $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’] but it gives the URL of the current page not the previous page. Does anyone have a suggestion for how I might achieve this please? Many thanks.

    I don’t know how comfortable you are with JavaScript, but I would do something like this.

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    // use a custom var as tracker
    var previousPage = “”;

    jQuery.ajax({
    cback:function(d){
    console.log(d);
    // get info in “d” and work with the value of previousPage;
    }
    });
    });

    I don’t have the exact variable names but I believe somewhere in there you will have more information. Otherwise, you can use plain javascript to get the window.location to update said variable and work from there.

    Hope this helps!
