Solved I need a "redirect after log in" code

Post by OMMA February 5th 2016, 21:15

Is there a java code or a template edit that I can use to redirects members to a certain page after they log in? What I mean is if a person is reading a certain thread as a guest and decides they want to post, they log in and are redirected to that thread so they can post. As of now when they log in they are redirected to the index. This means they have to click their way back to the thread they wanted to post in. I would like people to be redirected to the last page they were viewing once they log in.

The login widget should do that. I'm pretty sure if they login through that widget, they will be directed to the same page.

Thanks for your reply. I tried it and no it still redirects to the index. I do not want to add a widget to the forums though. I want this to be done with the normal log in from the navigation bar.

Hi @OMMA,

Try the following.

Go to Modules > JavaScript codes management and create a new script with these settings :

Placement : In all the pages
Code:
/\/login/.test(window.location.href) && $(function() {
  var redirect = '/forum';
  if (!_userdata.session_logged_in) {
    $('form[name="form_login"]')[0].redirect = redirect;
  }
});

To change the redirect URL simply modify the redirect variable.

Thanks Ange but it didn't work. Still redirects to the index. Basically what I'm trying to do is lessen the amount of clicks to get to specific pages. Right now if someone is viewing a certain page and log in they are redirected to the index and have to click their way back to the page they were on to post. I guess the portal or an HTML page could be a HUB that is used for shortcuts but I cant get either to work. I've made them both the homepage and also activated them but when I log in it still always redirects to the index so I'm basically trying to find a workaround. If you can help me get the portal or homepage to always show up when a person registers or logs in that would be great though.

Is the script still installed ? I checked your forum, but I didn't see any installed scripts. Just to be sure, make certain that JS codes management is enabled.

The option will be above the installed script list.

Are you wanting where everyone is redirected to what they are reading as a guest?

Find this line in your overal_header template
Code:
<script src="{JS_DIR}{L_LANG}.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then, add this code after it
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">document.write('<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="' + location.href + '" />')</script>
Save and publish it! Twisted Evil

Just paste this
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">document.write('<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="' + location.href + '" />')</script>
before </form> in your login form if youre using a custom login.

Yes this exactly.

@SarkZKalie it didn't work. I'm still taken to the index when I log in.

Yes. If a person is reading a thread as a guest and decides he wants to joi the discussion he logs in and is redirected to that thread instead of to the index.

@SarkZKalie that didn't work either. I'm still sent to the index when I log in.

Hmm.. I think I understand what you mean now. Try giving the following script a try :

Placement : In all the pages
Code:
$(function() {
  if (!_userdata.session_logged_in) {

    if (/\/login/.test(window.location.href)) {
      var form = document.form_login, cookie = my_getcookie('fa_last_page');
      if (form) form.redirect.value = cookie ? cookie : '';
    } else {
      my_setcookie('fa_last_page', window.location.pathname);
    }

  }
});

The last page visited is stored to a cookie, except while viewing the login page. So, once you click onto the login page it should set the redirect value to the previously viewed page. Let me know if that's what you want.
