Answered Automatic redirect if you're already logged in using Login 1.9.0

    Currently, I have a login page that redirects the user to a "members only page" that has additional navigation to other sub pages. Only the login page is viewable on the menu.

    Is there a way to detect if the user is already logged in, so that if they click the login screen again, it will automatically redirect them to the "members only page" and not just the login page again with the option to logout?

    Thanks.

      Putting a tag for this snippet in the template or at the top of the page content should do it:

      [[!BypassLogin]]


      /* BypassLogin snippet */
if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
    $memberPageId = 12; // set to actual ID of the member page
    $url = $modx->makUrl($memberPageId, "", "", "full");
    $modx->sendRedirect($url);
}
return '';


      If the context is always 'web', you can speed it up a little by making it:

      if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext('web')) {

        There are probably a dozen ways you can do this. One way would be to use the Personalize snippet to load one chunk with the "Login" button for visitors, and another chunk for logged-in users.

          Thanks BobRay! That did the trick. I did have to edit MakURL to MakeURL.

          I appreciate the help!

            BobRay,

            So I just noticed the redirect causes the logout not to work.

            From the Login documentation, the code for a logout would be

            <p><a href="[[~17? &service=`logout`]]">Logout</a></p>


            The code needs to point the original login page ID for the logout to work, which now has the redirect, so the logout does not work.

            Any thoughts on getting around this?

            Thanks for the help.

              I think this would do it (untested):

              /* BypassLogin snippet */
if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
    if (isset($_GET['service']) && ($_GET['service'] === 'logout')) {
        return '';
    }
    $memberPageId = 12; // set to actual ID of the member page
    $url = $modx->makUrl($memberPageId, "", "", "full");
    $modx->sendRedirect($url);
}
return '';

                Thanks BobRay for the quick reply.

                I just replaced the snippet and it did not work.

                When I click on the Logout link, it stills redirects me to the page "member page".

                Thanks again for the help. It's greatly appreciated.

                  Try this:

                  /* BypassLogin snippet */
if (isset($_GET['service']) && ($_GET['service'] === 'logout')) {
    return '';
}

if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
    $memberPageId = 12; // set to actual ID of the member page
    $url = $modx->makUrl($memberPageId, "", "", "full");
    $modx->sendRedirect($url);
}
return '';
