Login Redirect to where member was going
Development and Programming
Workflow:
- User, adds stuff to cart while not logged in
- Clicks checkout (checkout template is set to redirect to custom login page for guests)
- Login page should redirect back to checkout page upon success.
Is this the best way to achieve this?
{exp:member:login_form return="<?php echo
"http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}" ?>"}There must be a better way, no?
instead of redirecting to your login template you could use an embedded login form on the checkout page within a {if not_logged_in} conditional and then return them to the current page.
I thought of that but then I would need to have one on all other pages of the site that require login.
Profile, etc.
Basically I was hoping for an EE variable that exists that can do the same as the PHP above.
You need the page previous, then, right? Not the current request, because that’s your login page. You could use flashdata for that, or even the session tracker cookie which stores the previously viewed pages in order. There’s not a global template variable to access that, though, you’ll need PHP.
No problem. I will stick with what I have.
Thanks for your help.
