Login Redirect - Is it possible to stay on the same page?

[fsuk]

When a user logs in to my site they are redirected to the home page. Is it possible to modiffy class.login.php so that it stays on the same page as the one they logged in on?

Hello,

don't modify the class.login.php, please only modify the login call in your template. Can easily be done by adding the redirect to the login action.

What is this redirect to login action. How do i implement it?

Current code in template for login menu:

Code:

<?php
        if(FRONTEND_LOGIN AND !$wb->is_authenticated()) {
        ?>
        <form name="login" action="<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>" method="post">
           
            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="150" align="center" style="margin-top: 10px;">
            <tr>
                <td class="border">
                    <img src="<?php echo TEMPLATE_DIR; ?>/menu_top.gif" border="0" alt="" />
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="login" style="text-transform: uppercase;">
                    <b><?php echo $TEXT['LOGIN']; ?></b>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="login" style="text-align: left;">

I think you miss-understand.

I dont want the user to be redirected to a login page.

When the user is on, for example, the events page and there is a login box underneath the menu they can login there. But once they click the login button and are logged in they are redirected to the home page, they do not remain on the same page.

What i want is for the user to click login on whatever page they may be on and for them to be logged in and remain on the same page.

Thanks for you help

[Ruud]

If you read the thread that Matthias pointed. The last line shows what to do.

Code:

<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>/account/login.php?redirect=http://www.yourdomain.com/pages/redirectpage.php

You should be able to get the redirect url with something like this

Code:

$page = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]

I dont have that exact text in my index.php of my template the closest is:

Code:

<form name="login" action="<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>" method="post">

See above for the full login/logout form code.

I've tried this but it has no effect:

Code:

       <?php
        if(FRONTEND_LOGIN AND !$wb->is_authenticated()) {
        $page = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
        ?>
        <form name="login" action="<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>?redirect=<?php $page; ?>" method="post">
           

[Ruud]

There are a few php buggies in the code.

$page = 'http://'.$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ;
and
<form name="login" action="<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>?redirect=<?php echo $page; ?>" method="post">

The code below works on my testserver.

Code:

.........
<?php
    if(FRONTEND_LOGIN AND !$wb->is_authenticated()) {
        $page = 'http://' .$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
        ?>
        <form name="login" action="<?php echo LOGIN_URL; ?>?redirect=<?php echo $page; ?>" method="post">
.......

Succes,

Ruud

[fsuk]

ok that works great. Thanks.

Im still quite new to php, but im getting there slowley.

Thanks for your help guys.

[fsuk]

Ive just tried applying it to the logout and it dosn't work:

Code:

       <?php
        } elseif(FRONTEND_LOGIN AND $wb->is_authenticated()) {
        $page = 'http://' .$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
        ?>
        <form name="logout" action="<?php echo LOGOUT_URL; ?>?redirect=<?php echo $page; ?>" method="post">

Is there anyway to apply it to the logout?

[Ruud]

No, not without modifying one of the core files.

If you do that, any upgrade to a next version will at least undo your changes.

Ruud

[fsuk]

Ok well i suppose i can leave the logout redirect.

Thanks for your help

[xoanon]

I just implemented the proposed code and immediately I get permission error message as follows

>>
You don't have permission to access /wb/account/login.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
once the redirection code is removed everything works fine !!!!!!!!!

Any Ideas why ?    directory/files permissions are correct...
