Redirecting to previous page

[rmtdene]

Hi all, anyone knows how to redirect previous page instead of homepage after login?
For example user is viewing 'index.php?option=com_mycom&view=myview' when user logs in with jconnector, I want the user redirected to 'index.php?option=com_mycom&view=myview' after login, how can I do this?

Hi,

At the current moment jConnector redirects to a static page. So the best you can do is change this static page to another static page (in modules/mod_jconnector/jconnector_server.php).
Your idea makes good sense though and I am adding this to my ToDo list and this will be available in the future release.

Hello!

I'm not sure what to change in jconnector_server.php. Can you provide more information?

Thank you.

Hi,

Redirects are done by a function called header(). There are two of them in jconnector_server.php and they look like this

header('Location: '.str_replace('modules/mod_jconnector/', '', JURI::base()));

For example by changing them to

header('Location: '.str_replace('modules/mod_jconnector/', '', JURI::base()).'?option=com_comprofiler');

I get a redirect to the user profile page (I run Community Builder extension).

If you have any more questions or something is not fully clear, please feel free to ask me.

ok, it's so easy :

replace last line in jconnector_server.php:

header('Location: '.str_replace('modules/mod_jconnector/', '', JURI::base));

by

header('Location: '.str_replace('modules/mod_jconnector/', '', $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]));

line 68 and 129 on jconnector_server.php file

Tried using HTTP_REFERER but it didnt work so well in IE8.

With on logins it would just return me to
http:/site/module/mod_jconnector/
this is using with SH404SEF.

So what i did was in my joomla template index.php I placed this at the end of the code.

<?php 
$last_page = str_replace('&lang','&amp;lang',$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); 	$_SESSION['lastPage'] = $last_page; 
?>

then used $_SESSION['lastPage'] in place of $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] as shown by neo.51 above.

Anyone had any luck redirecting the DENIED ONLY? I've tried changing the line in jconnector_server.php but I only get the denied message on all attempts...good or bad.
