I have problems with getting Laravel URL.
I have one page that if user is not logged in, it redirect user to wrong url and it's giving an error.
I'm using redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath()); to get back user where he was on page after login, so somehow I have to write code that will check what is the redirect URL, and if it's the URL that will give an error,
I know what is the URL, it must redirect user to another URL that I need to set.
I tried different methods taking
$this->redirectPath() == 'here goes the url'
and like
redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath()) == 'again url here'
But nothing works.
Try this:
return Redirect::intended('here goes the url');
Or
return Redirect::intended();
intended() checks if the session index url.intended exists and redirects to it by default or else redirect to $default='/' which can be overwritten.
You have to understand what redirect()->intended() actually does.
It looks for a session variable named url.intended like session()->pull('url.intended') (note that pull() will remove the variable after this call, which is handy because you usually only need this variable once).
This variable is currently only set when you call redirect()->guest('/yourpath') (it will set your current URL as the url.intended), unless you manually set it in your own logic using session()->put('url.intended').
So the most obvious way to use this is to use redirect()->guest('/login'), and then after the user has successfully logged in you may use redirect()->intended() (without parameter) to redirect the user back to the page that originally sent him to the login page.

so I use redirect::intended to redirect the page to intended URL after successful login. if i type the URL directly from browser its working, but it doesn't work when I access the link from email or any other sites. can anyone tell me why and what is the solution? thanks in advance.
the code is:
Return Redirect::intended('/');
intended() checks if the session index url.intended exists and redirects to it by default or else redirect to $default='/' which can be overwritten.
check session index
I am developing a Laravel application and I need some suggestion.
I have a page which when a user who is not logged in access, it redirects to the login page and after authentication, he is back to the same. This works fine.
The problem is that if the user was a new user. He doesnot have a login and goes for Registration.
He then registers and the application redirects him to several other pages (like e.g.He needs to verify his email) and when all is done he will be on the dashboard page.
Now is there any way, I can save that he was on certain page and after registering and moving through all those pages come back to the same page?
Thanks,
Santhosh
Since you haven't posted any code I'd write a general explanation of how I think you should handle this.
In short - you can get the indented url and add it to the registration button as a query parameter i.e yourdomain.com/register?origin=some_route.
So assuming you have a register button/link on your login page, add the origin to the link href:
<a href="register?origin=some_route">Register<a>
This way, when you finish the registration, you can simply access the origin by using \Input::get('origin').
Now, to actually get the intended url you can either try and get it from the Session by using:
\Session::get('url.intended', url('/'))
or you could use \Redirect::intended(url('/'))->getTargetUrl();
In both cases url('/') is used as a fallback url to the homepage and you could replace it with any other url you wish.
Hope this helps!
I imagine you could do something like this for one page:
return redirect()->intended('/dashboard');
which would the the same as
return \Redirect::intended('/dashboard');
As per docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/authentication#authenticating-users
The intended method on the redirector will redirect the user to the URL they were attempting to access before being caught by the authentication filter. A fallback URI may be given to this method in case the intended destination is not available.
Alternately, if you're going through a multi-page login 'wizard' type deal, I'd personally store the initial value of redirect()->intended in a Session or Cookie, and redirect to the value of the session / cookie once your registration process is complete.
Instead of intended redirect function you can print the HTTP referer in a hidden field in the form, then after login redirect to that URL.
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="{{URL::previous()}}">
Controller:
if(Input::get('redirect') && (Input::get('redirect') != url('/path/to/login/'))){
return redirect(Input::get('redirect'));
}
else{
return redirect('/alternative/page');
}
For example, I have a page called profile_page.php. This page is only functional if data is written after the ?u= in the URL, for example, data for Alice's profile page can only be seen when the URL reads http://localhost/profile_page/alice.
Loading http://localhost/profile_page will give me undefined variable errors as most of my variable's are depending on the URL to have a value after the ?u=. For example, the variable $firstname can only be gathered when I get her username in the URL.
In such a case, when http://localhost/profile_page, I would rather have it redirect the user to their own profile_page, but I don't know how I can test the URL and parse it through an if statement.
I understand you can use $u=$_GET['u']; to obtain the current page URL? but I don't think doing this, is the best way to go about it:
$u=$_GET['u'];
if ($u == "http://localhost/profile_page/"){
// redirect to logged in users page code here
}
First, if you are using some parameter for your page to build, the url would looks like httlp://localhost/profile_page.php?firstname=alice&lastname=brown, with $_GET['firstname'] you will get alice in this case. If you want to test if the parameter is set first and redirect to another page if it is not set, you could use
if(!isset($_GET['firstname'])
{
header('Location:redirected_page.php');
}
I have used Yii::app()->user->returnUrl but it always redirect me to localhost/index.php. Is there any particular configuration or some pieces of code that other programs that I must write? If you have another solutions let me know it.
#aslingga, can you please explain what you're trying to do with returnUrl? Are you just trying to get back to where you were after logging in, or are you using it somewhere else?
This is from the Yii documentation:
Redirects the user browser to the
login page. Before the redirection,
the current URL (if it's not an AJAX
url) will be kept in returnUrl so that
the user browser may be redirected
back to the current page after
successful login. Make sure you set
loginUrl so that the user browser can
be redirected to the specified login
URL after calling this method. After
calling this method, the current
request processing will be terminated.
In other words, if the page you're trying to request requires authentication, the URI of the page you're on gets stored in a session variable. Then, once you've logged in, it takes you back to that page.
One way I'd recommend troubleshooting is to do a print_r($_SESSION); just to make sure the returnUrl is actually being stored. Then you'll be able to check if index.php is being stored as returnUrl or if you're just being redirected there for some reason.
Looking at the CWebUser methods getState and setState might also be helpful.
I know this question is old but maybe this will help someone out since I didn't couldn't find a decent answer anywhere.
How getReturnUrl works
Setting a default return URL for your Yii app requires a bit of customization. The way it works out of the box is that you specify the default return URL each time you call it:
Yii::app()->user->getReturnUrl('site/internal');
The idea being that if a user were to visit a page that requires authentication, they will get redirected to the login page, but not before the site running
Yii::app()->user->setReturnUrl('site/visitedpage');
Now when the user logs in, they will be returned to the page they intended to go to.
While I like that functionality, having to set the default return URL each time is dumb. If you want to change the default return URL, you have to go find it throughout your code. I suppose you could set the value in a site parameter and call
Yii::app()->user->getReturnUrl(Yii::app()->params['defaultReturnUrl']);
I don't think I have to explain why that solution is annoying too.
My Solution
So when getReturnUrl is called without any parameters, it returns either '/index.php' or just '/'. This is fine in some cases, but not always. This is better IMO.
First, extend the CWebUser class and add the following extras
class WebUser extends CWebUser {
// default return URL property
public defaultReturnUrl;
// override the getReturnUrl method
public function getReturnUrl($defaultUrl=NULL) {
if ($defaultUrl === NULL) {
$defaultReturnUrl = $this->defaultReturnUrl;
}
else {
$defaultReturnUrl = CHtml::normalizeUrl($defaultUrl);
}
return $this->getState('__returnUrl',$defaultReturnUrl);
}
}
Now, let's add a couple items to the user component array.
'user' => array(
'class' => 'WebUser',
'defaultReturnUrl' => 'site/internal'
)
Not only does this allow you to set a default return URL in the config, but also maintains the ability to set a different default return URL and use the setReturnUrl functionality.
I think, you must set it:
Yii::app()->user->setReturnUrl('controller/action');
I'm building a basic CodeIgniter site that requires a login before you can access any of the site.
If a user visits some site url, something like this:
http://www.mysite.com/project/detail/2049
AND they are current logged out, I have it set to automatically kick them back to the login page.
My question is, after they login, what is the best way to redirect them to the original URL they typed in, instead of say, redirecting them to the websites homepage?
I was thinking maybe, dynamically create the URL as a hidden form element in the login form and redirect there upon a successful login... What do you guys think? Is there a better/best practice for this type of dynamic post-login redirection?
When they hit the restricted page record the uri and set it as session data with
this->session->set_userdata('redirect', 'page/uri/here');
then redirect them to the login / register
after they login check to see if 'redirect' is present with
if($this->session->userdata('redirect'))
{
redirect($this->session->userdata('redirect'));
}
if it doesn't then take them wherever you normally take them after a login
when attempt to access is intercepted:
redirect('/public/login/r'.$this->uri->uri_string());
so in your case, after redirection the url might look like this:
http://www.example.com/public/login/r/project/detail/2049
if the login is successful
$uri = $this->uri->uri_string();
$redirect = substr($uri, strpos($uri, '/r/')+2);
redirect($redirect);
will redirect to the original resource.
(and no, the +2 should not be +3)
Why dont you create a session value upon login and then verify it on each page necessary to secure?
Build it into a library, so you can call the following:
$this->mylibrary->login($user);
and
$this->mylibrary->is_logged_in($user); on top of each page and automatically redirect visitors to your main site.
I am using flashdata to redirect.
this->session->set_flashdata('redirect_url', 'page/uri/here');
after they login check to see if 'redirect_url' is present with
if($this->session->flashdata('redirect_url'))
{
redirect(base_url().$this->session->flashdata('redirect_url')));
}
Hope this help
