Pretty sure I might just be missing something simple here, but no matter what I set my return param to it just sends me to a blank page that says “you are now logged in” w/o anything else. What might I be missing here?

{exp:member:login_form return="http://www.google.com"}
<input type="text" name="username" value="" maxlength="32" size="25"><br>
<input type="password" name="password" value="" maxlength="32" size="25"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
{/exp:member:login_form}

Hi icd2k3,

What version and build of EE are you using?
Are you using any addons?

If you use a standard return does it work?

{exp:member:login_form return="site/index"}

Does it literally stay on that page?

Thanks John,

I’m using 2.2.2 and I am using some addons, but none that I think would interfere with the member module. (stuff like Matrix etc). I’m also using htaccess to mask the index.php from the URL.

The login doesn’t stay on the page, instead it looks like it brings up a blank page with only “You are now logged in” on it. My login page is site.com/login, and when I login the address does change to just site.com, but with no other content other than that message.

Any ideas? I suppose I could just use JS to redirect it after the form submission, but strange the default parameter behavior isn’t working.

icd2k3,

Can you share the contents of your .htaccess? I suspect the culprit might be in there. Have you made any changes to the default Member templates? And can you share with us the rendered output of your login template?

Cheers,

Hey Dan, sure - sorry for the late reply

I haven’t made any changes to the default member templates. As for the rendered output of the login template I’ve attached 2 images showing the login screen and what happens when I click the submit button.

.htaccess (bit long):

AuthUserFile "/home/[removed]/domains/dev.[removed].com/public_html/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Login Details"
Require valid-user

as a side note, when I check the rendered html on the page I see this:

<form id="login_form" action="http://dev.luxanimals.com/" method="post">

even though return is set to “review/login/” currently seems like the action is being overwritten. Any ideas as to what might be going on here? driving me nuts.

EDIT here is the rendered html for the form currently:

<form id="login_form" action="http://dev.luxanimals.com/" method="post">
<div class="hiddenFields">
<input type="hidden" value="dc9a6b1c1086821d514a280c4374b255f6671d6a" name="XID">
<input type="hidden" value="15" name="ACT">
<input type="hidden" value="review/login/" name="RET">
<input type="hidden" value="1" name="site_id">
</div>
<input type="text" size="25" maxlength="32" value="" name="username">


<input type="password" size="25" maxlength="32" value="" name="password">


<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="auto_login">
Auto-login on future visits


<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>

Any thoughts? I tried redirecting myself manually with javascript but the EE code redirects first seems like. It goes directly to the user message template

icd2k3,

The “action” is always going to route through index.php, or in this case, your site’s root. That’s ExpressionEngine main controller and handles the action from there. Alright, if you take your .htaccess out of the picture, do you still see this issue? Since you are using methods that are not officially supported, we need to get that out of the way to get a clear picture of where we’re at.

Thanks,

Thanks so much dan,

I can confirm that this is happening with or without .htaccess. I renamed it to .htaccess_ for testing purposes and went back to my login screen (now with the site.com/index.php in the address). When I logged in it did the same thing - took me back to the site root with a blank page that jst says “You are now logged in.”

icd2k3,

Is this site on a server we can access? It’s time we get a closer look at this. Be on the lookout for an email from me.

Cheers,

Sure, I’ll make a login for ya.

note that the template in question is review/login - if you have trouble with the FTP permissions please let me know (may need to contact my server admin)

Hi icd2k3,

I’m just getting a chance to have a look at this. I’ll follow up here with my findings.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look at this issue dan. I just replied to your latest email.
