Hi,
For my website I've hidden the prices and user has to log in to see them. So I redirect user to authentication page. What I want to do is redirect the user, after log in or creating an account, to the original page (from where he was redirected to the authentication page). As i have hidden the prices everywhere, there are many places that allow user to go to the authentication page so i can't set a fixed url.
I'd really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.

when you redirect user to authentication page, put parameters to the URL
after authentication, use this parameter redirect user back to the page.

by default, there is parameter back is available to use. You can do this for simple pages.

but if your return page itself require parameters, you will need to find a way keep all parameters.
for example, you BASE64 encoding the return URL and then decode it when redirect user back.

just a thought, never tested, but I think it should doable.

Hi thanks for your suggestion. I'll see if i can use it properly (because I just started web programming and there are a lot of thing i'm still learning).
I have another question: Once the user is redirected to the authentication page and he clicks on 'log in'. Can i send him back to the previuos page? I think I have to modify in authController.php the following line:
Tools::redirect('my-account.php');
But the problem is i don't know what to put in it.
I have tried to put '$back' but it takes me to the home page instead of previous.
Can someone please help me fix this.
Thanks

I tried using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; which is supposed to redirect to previous page but it doesn't work. I use it when user clicks on 'log in' to send him back but when user clicks on it he logs in but stays on authentication.php.
Is it normal or I have become the main target of every problem (whether it exists or not :s)?.

Hi guys,

 

I've been searching for this solution long time... Did someone solved it?

 

I'd like to redirect the user to the previous page. My problem is... When the customer comes from a product page (id_product=N) and he's not logged, he goes to authentication. But after his login I'd like to redirect to the product page (id_product=N) where he cames from.

 

I've already changed the ProductController.php, inserting:

 

public $auth = true;

public $authRedirection = 'product.php';

 

But the customer is redirected to the product page without id_product and shows a error.

 

Could someone help me?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

 

I found the solution. I don't know if this is the best way, but it's working pretty good! I've changed 2 files.

 

STEP 1 - FrontController.php

 

Where you find this:

if ($this->auth AND !$cookie->isLogged($this->guestAllowed)){
    Tools::redirect('authentication.php'.($this->authRedirection ? '?back='.$this->authRedirection : ''));
}

 

change for:

if ($this->auth AND !$cookie->isLogged($this->guestAllowed)){
    if ($this->authRedirection === 'back') {
		    $this->authRedirection = Tools::safeOutput(urldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
    }
   Tools::redirect('authentication.php'.($this->authRedirection ? '?back='.$this->authRedirection : ''));
}

 

The conditional ($this->authRedirection === 'back') will be used in the ProductController.php or wherever you want.

 

STEP 2 - ProductController.php

I put new public var to the Class

public $auth = true;
public $authRedirection = 'back';

 

When you do that, every time when the user is not logged, he will be redirect to Autentication, so he need to log in and then he will be redirect to the previous page.

 

I've made just for the Product, but you can do for the Category, and everything else. You just need to do the 2nd Step again.

 

I hope I helped!

 

If you have a better solution, please write back!

Hi Luizsb,

 

Thanks for posting this, this works fine if you only have registered users, or you want the users to log in or register before seeing products.

 

But unfortunately in my case I would like everyone to see everything all the time. I also have guest checkout enabled.

 

So in my case I would only need the login page to redirect to the previous page (which can be a product page, category page, about me page, sitemap, it doesn't really matter what to be honest...).

 

Since the only way to go to the login page is by clicking the blockuserinfo Login button, is there a way to make this work so it just simply goes back to the previous page?

 

I hope you understand what I mean :)

 

By the way, yours is a good solution for a shop where you need everyone to register and the products or categories should only be seen by registered users. But this is not the case with my shop... :(

 

Thanks a lot for your efforts!!!

 

Peace!

At this point if you do not find the solution, perhaps the only thing possible is to create 2 links in the header do you think? I take a help? the site is this http://www.ceramicaloddo.it/

As you can see I created two entries under the carriage, but I can not redirect where I want. Try also the site / shopbusiness

 

on / shopbusiness the virtual shop you may notice that the prices are different because I manage them separately, but I need the user to go directly to Vat / shopbusiness

I solved it by yourself, looking good I deleted the code 

 

<a href="{$link-> getPageLink ('my-account', true)} "

 

overwriting with this 

 

<a href = "authentication? back = my-account" 

<a href = "shopbusiness / authentication? back = my-account" 

 

Login button now address two different authentication pages

Hello,

 this is my example to redirect user to a product page (where he was) after authentification :

  • in AuthController you  use the init function, before doing anything get the previous URL with $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
  • i get the product number
  • then i save the new url into $_GET['back']

 EXAMPLE :

        $_GET['back']="product&id_product=".$id;

After this, you have two things to get :

  • if your URL includes (&) like me, you need to change this in Tools::redirect
  • else, anything will work fine

So in my case, i went to Tools::Redirect, and add this lines just before         header('Location: '.$url);

        exit;:

         $url=str_replace("?amp;","&",$url);   

        header('Location: '.$url);
        exit;

Taraaaaaa  :rolleyes:

 

PS : excuse my english...
