Redirecting after user login with modal form on Laravel

Question

Instead of a single login page, I'm using a modal for user login. I want to redirect logged in user to the page where modal form opened.

I tried to modify LoginController with return Redirect::back(); but it returned with "Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected".

This is my modified LoginController.php

protected function redirectTo()
{
    return Redirect::back();
}

Maybe I'm following completely wrong way to do that. So I'm open for any suggestion. Thanks in advance for answers.

Answer 1

In your App\\Http\\Controllers\\Auth\\LoginController

Override the authenticated function with this:

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) {
    return redirect('/'.$request->path());
}

The $request->path() will retrieve the request origin path.

@Edit to see the owner's comment in another answer

To also get the url parameter, such as /...?p=477 . You can edit your modal authentication form to have this hidden input:

<input type="hidden" name="current_page" value="{{Request::getRequestUri()}}">

In this way, in your App\\Http\\Controllers\\Auth\\LoginController

Override the authenticated function with this:

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) {
    return redirect($request['current_page']);
}

Hope this helps

不要执行Redirect::back() ，只需使用redirect('/your_page_where_modal_appears')
