The problem is simple:<\/p>\n
The solutions across the internet are vast and code heavy. \u00a0But this solution really only requires a simple change to your template file.<\/p>\n
In the login template:<\/p>\n
\npersistent\/customer\/form\/login.phtml<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Update the form action to include your specific redirect path.<\/p>\n
This is what exists currently:<\/p>\n
<form action=\"<?php echo $this->getPostActionUrl() ?>\" method=\"post\" id=\"login-form\" class=\"scaffold-form\" autocomplete=\"off\" ><\/pre>\nWhat I suggest is writing your redirect into a PHP variable, and then apply that to the action parameter. \u00a0Like this:<\/p>\n
<?php\r\n\/\/ set redirect URL\r\n$session->setBeforeAuthUrl( Mage::getBaseUrl() );\r\n$redirectUrl = Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB,array('_secure'=>true)).'your-redirect-path.html';\r\n$formActionUrl = $this->getPostActionUrl() . ( strpos( $this->getPostActionUrl(), \"?\" ) > 0 ? \"&\" : \"?\" ) . \"referer=\" . Mage::helper('core')->urlEncode( $redirectUrl );\r\n?>\r\n\r\n<form action=\"<?php echo $formActionUrl ?>\" method=\"post\" id=\"login-form\" class=\"scaffold-form\" autocomplete=\"off\" ><\/pre>\nLet me explain what is happening here a bit.<\/p>\n
\n
- The core Magento code expects the\u00a0$session->setBeforeAuthUrl<\/strong> to be set to respect the\u00a0referer<\/strong> query parameter. \u00a0For that reason, I simply set it to the homepage. \u00a0This is really just a failsafe in-case something goes wrong.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0$redirectUrl<\/strong> is the URL you’d like your visitors to land on after logging in.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0$formActionUrl<\/strong> simply takes the current form post URL that exists and adds the\u00a0referer<\/strong> query parameter with your redirect URL. \u00a0The one bit of “trickery” here is to pass it through Magento’s\u00a0urlEncode<\/strong> function in the core helper which base64 encodes the URL.\n
\n
- If you’re asking what does base64 encode mean\/do???<\/em>, don’t worry it’s nothing big you need to worry about. \u00a0But simply put, it turns the url into garbly-gook – which is how Magento expects the URL to be formatted. \u00a0Later, Magento will un-garbly-gook (yes, a technical term) the URL on the backend so they know what it means.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
And that’s it – simple as that. \u00a0No modules, fancy trickery, etc. \u00a0But of course remember to copy this template to your theme folder (don’t edit in the base<\/strong> or\u00a0default<\/strong> directory) before making these changes.<\/p>\n
