Redirect customer to the previous page (after login)

[Rainbow Trade]

Hi,

 

At the moment when a customer logins on the site they are sent to their account page. Is it possible for them to be sent to the previous page that they were viewing?

 

Thanks,

Jon

The function Tools::redirect(), which serves as a certain wrapper for the construction header(‘Location:’.$url); , is specifically responsible for the redirect. In this function it is used 7 times.

 

// redirection: if cart is not empty : redirection to the cart
if (count($this->context->cart->getProducts(true)) > 0)
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=order&multi-shipping='.(int)Tools::getValue('multi-shipping')); //I advise not to change address here,  because if a customer has any items in the cart Prestashop will redirect him to the checkout page. And if this will be some other page the customer can get upset.
	 // else : redirection to the account
else
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=my-account'); //here you can put the page which seems the most obvious to you.
…..
if (!Configuration::get('PS_REGISTRATION_PROCESS_TYPE') && !$this->ajax && !Tools::isSubmit('submitGuestAccount'))
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=address'); // if registration type is in two steps, we redirect to register address
if ($back = Tools::getValue('back'))
    Tools::redirect($back); //this redirect works only if there is the parameter back
Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=my-account');
if (count($this->context->cart->getProducts(true)) > 0)
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=order&multi-shipping='.(int)Tools::getValue('multi-shipping')); // redirection: if cart is not empty : redirection to the cart
else
    Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=my-account'); // else : redirection to the account
