Private shop redirect to login and come back to previous URL

[arkantos_a]

When I enter an existing URL of a category without login in my private prestashop website, fronController redirects to login page (THIS IS OK):

if (!$this->context->customer->isLogged() && $this->php_self != 'authentication' && $this->php_self != 'password')
        {
            Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=authentication?back=my-account');

 

But after login I would like to come back to the first URL of my category. Can you help with this? Thanks in advance

 

PD: I have tried this without succes Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=authentication?back='.$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);

Before redirecting the user to the login page, store the current category URL in a session variable:

if (!$this->context->customer->isLogged() && $this->php_self != 'authentication' && $this->php_self != 'password')
{
    // Store the current category URL in a session variable
    $category_url = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    $this->context->cookie->category_url = $category_url;
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=authentication?back=my-account');
}

After a successful login, retrieve the stored category URL from the session and redirect the user back to it:

// handle successful login
// ...

// Check if the session variable with the category URL exists
if (isset($this->context->cookie->category_url) && !empty($this->context->cookie->category_url))
{
    // Retrieve the category URL from the session
    $category_url = $this->context->cookie->category_url;

    // Clear the session variable to avoid redirecting the user to the category on future logins
    $this->context->cookie->category_url = '';

    // Redirect the user back to the stored category URL
    Tools::redirect($category_url);
}
else
{
    // If no stored category URL found, redirect the user to the default page after login (e.g., My Account)
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=my-account');
}

I hope this helps.

Thanks!
