Login Redirect depending on Group

[norseman]

Hey there all,

Thx for reading this.

 

What i am trying to do is the following... depending on the group member that is logging in, I need to redirect the customer to a specific page.

 

I have two groups, Retail and Wholesale.

 

The two groups have no interaction with one another and dont have access to each others areas, so therefore the groups cannot be redirected to the same page, and the client doesnt just want them redirected to the index page.

 

So therefore, I have modded the AuthController.php page to redirect to a specific page, however it is generic, therefore both groups are getting redirected to the same page. This is fine for retailers, however when a wholesaler logs in, presta tells them they cannot view that page. Is there a way in the auth controller to find WHICH group the user is in, and then redirect accordingly?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

 

Sure in the controller, once logged the $cookie->id_customer is the id of the customer (assuming logged = 1). With the customer id you can create the customer object $customer = new Customer($cookie->id_customer); with this object you can detect which group is involved.

 

Best,

Thx for the info!

 

Here is what i have done.

in the if statement of

if (Tools::isSubmit('SubmitLogin')) which I assume is where the process is to actually log a user in, there is the area to set the cookie parameters. In that section, I added the following line,

self::$cookie->groupid = $customer->id_default_group;

Things seem to work smoothly, no php errors, however when I get down to

if (!Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))

{

if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))

Tools::redirect($back);

Tools::redirect('my-account.php');

}

 

I have changed that to

if (!Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))

{

if ($back = Tools::getValue('back') && $cookie->groupid == 1)

{

Tools::redirect('25-whitewater-premium-soy-candles');

}

else

{

Tools::redirect('50-whitewater-candle');

}//Tools::redirect($back);

Tools::redirect('http://simplethings.ca/en/25-whitewater-premium-soy-candles');

//Tools::redirect('my-account.php');

}

 

My group id of retailers is 1, my group id for wholesalers is 2. Whenever I log in, I am ALWAYS redirected to

50-whitewater-candle page.

 

Any insight on this?

 

Thanks!!!!

Note, when you paste code, use the code button or encaptule in [ code ], this helps reading.

I think you've lost your mind

The initial portion @line:204 on a 1.4.5.1 on pristine AuthController.php

    if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
	 Tools::redirect($back);
    Tools::redirect('my-account.php');

change it with

    if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
	 Tools::redirect($back);
   global $link;
   if ((int)$customer->id_default_group == 1)
	 Tools::redirect($link->getCategoryLink(25));
   else
	 Tools::redirect($link->getCategoryLink(50));

 

Unwind all other changes and let us know.

FYI, you should refrain tamper with the back parameter since it is used when a user initiate the checkout process, so Presta can return the user to the checkout step seamlessly

Hi there, thx for your time.

 

I made those changes on the 1.4.4.1 AuthController.php, original version.

 

However, its like the change isnt even there, all logins get redirected to my-account.php

 

Any other ideas?

[doekia]

Pretty puzzled since we have no more line that goes to my-account!! What's about with the test and back portion commented?

[norseman]

I have also changed back to the original, and then added that code to the second

 

if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
			 Tools::redirect($back);
	    Tools::redirect('my-account.php');

 

around line 268, and still no go..., the only other area in this file is around line 38, and that doesnt work either... this isnt making any sense... and i have cleaned out my cache, so its not a caching issue...

 

Thanks

I will try that, thx

[norseman]

OK... so heres the final fix...

 

In version 1.4.4.1, around line 266, there will be

 

if (!Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))
 {
  if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
		  Tools::redirect($back);
  Tools::redirect('my-account.php');
 }

 

had to change to

 

if (!Tools::isSubmit('ajax'))
 {
  //if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
  // Tools::redirect($back);
  //Tools::redirect('my-account.php');
  //global $link;
		   if ((int)$customer->id_default_group == 1)
				Tools::redirect('25-whitewater-premium-soy-candles');
		   else
				Tools::redirect('50-whitewater-candle');
 }

 

Actually your $link->getCategoryLink wouldnt work, not sure why... but at least its working now!

 

Thanks for your help!

 

NOTE:

I noticed that i had commented out the global $link, and thought that was the issue, however uncommented it, changed the code to getCategoryLink(25) and still no love.

[doekia]

During ajax call $link is not inited.

 

just to:

$link = new Link();

should do

[norseman]

Thx I will try that... how do I marked this post as solved?

[norseman]

Nope, still no love.

global $link;
  $link = new Link();
		   if ((int)$customer->id_default_group == 1)
			    Tools::redirect($link->getCategoryLink(25));
		   else
			    Tools::redirect($link->getCategoryLink(50));

 

Not a big deal, I will just have to remember if I change the name of the page, I will have to change the AuthController file.
