How can I redirect to a certain page after signing in using the latest Rainlab User plugin?

Need Help
#1

Hi All,

With an earlier version of the RainLab User plugin I used to be able to simply add a directive to my sign in page for redirecting e.g.:

[account]
redirect = "services"

This seems to be gone now on the latest version. I have tried adding the account component and putting the redirect manually to no avail.

I also tried overriding the onLogin function but I’m not sure I’m doing that correctly e.g.:

function onLogin() {
    return Redirect::to('/services');
}

I am on October CMS build 4.1.13 and RainLab User plugin version 3.3.1.

Any pointers gratefully appreciated, thanks.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.

I’m just using the authentication, session and account components on my sign in page so I don’t have direct access to the form HTML to be able to add an extra input field.

I was hoping to get it working just using the plug-in configuration itself rather than having to make manual changes myself.

I hope this makes sense. Thanks for your suggestion

Hi @Call2call

With the PHP you could do

function onLogin() {
    $this->account->onLogin();
    return Redirect::to('/services');
}

Hi @daftspunk,

Thanks for the code (I was wondering how the onLogin override worked from the plugin documentation).

It gave this error when I tried it though:

The component 'RainLab\User\Components\Account' does not contain a method 'onLogin'. {"exception":[]}

After a bit of head scratching, I noticed the method is in the Authentication component so I tried this and it worked:

<?php

function onLogin() {
    $this->authentication->onLogin();
    
    return Redirect::to('/services');
}

So it looks like I needed to override the Authentication onLogin method.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
