taking user to page they tried to view after login?

I have a Private section on my site for registered users only, currently when un-logged in visitor try to access the page they get the login form but after successful login they redirect to the site start.

how can I send them to the page they tried to access instead?

Doesn’t work?

No because I have for example both "News" link and "Articles" in my toolbar which both are private.
I need something like &liHomeId=`Destination ID`

you can do it for example like that, I think:

&liHomeId=`[+phx:get=`goto`+]`

What value do I need to replace goto with? I am looking for the same thing the other poster is looking for.

For example if you go to the main page of the site... http://arcpa.org/ and click the FedEx logo on the right, it takes you to the login page. After logging on, I want it
to proceed to the FedEx page that was initially requested. Of course I want this to happen no matter what the original destination was, not just the FedEx page.

Is there a modx variable that works like http_referer?

Phx is probably an easier way to go but it would be fairly simple with snippets, I think.

One one-line snippet [!PutID!] on the page to save the current page ID as a $_SESSION variable.

And another one-liner [!GetID!] to read and return that variable:

&liHomeId=`[!GetID!]`

Can I use this as a snippet and then call it in the &liHomeId parameter?

function getCurrentPageUrl()
{
$pageURL = ’http’;

if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on")
{
$pageURL .= "s";
}

$pageURL .= "://";

if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80")
{
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
else
{
$pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
}
$_SESSION[’CURRENT_PAGE_URL’] = $pageURL;

}

if ($_SESSION[’CURRENT_PAGE_URL’])
{
header(’location: ’.$_SESSION[’CURRENT_PAGE_URL’]);
}
else
{
//redirect to default url
}

That looks like it would work, but I’d be inclined to do this instead:




makeUrl() will handle https pages and friendly urls automatically. It might not handle alternative ports but you could easily tweak the makeUrl code if necessary:

Thanks for the replies.

I didn’t really understood how to use the above snippet, not sure for which page is it.
Do I still need a [!PutID!] and on which page do I place it?


anyhow, I did noticed that WebLogin snippet will direct me to the page I was on my way to.

If I still understand what’s going on, [!PutId!] would go in the template so the id is saved for every page visted, and &liHomeId=`[!GetID!]` goes in the WebLogin call.
