Force visitor to register/login

Quote

Post by hyperjase » Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:47 am

Hi guys,

Is there any way to force visitors to either register or login to view the site? I have a little knowledge of PHP and know that it can be done via sessions? I'm just not sure how abouts to go about achieving this.

Thanks,

HJ

This is a quick way which works for me…

Put this in line 1 of your layout.tpl (view/theme/default/template/common/layout.tpl)

Code: Select all

<?php
if (!$this->customer->isLogged() 
    && $this->url->http('account/login') != $breadcrumbs[1]['href']) {
	 $this->redirect($this->url->https('account/login'));
}
?>
Cheers

Thanks for getting back to me, I've added the code and now end up with a redirect loop in FF:

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.

I'm not fully clued up on PHP so aren't sure whats going on here.

Thanks for your help,

Can you post your layout.tpl code please.
A loop should not be created, as the code breaks when

Code: Select all

$this->url->http('account/login') == $breadcrumbs[1]['href']
or check whether changing from

Code: Select all

$this->redirect($this->url->https('account/login'))
to (just 'http')

Code: Select all

$this->redirect($this->url->http('account/login'))
makes a difference…

You need:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (!$this->customer->isLogged()
    && $this->url->http('account/login') != $breadcrumbs[2]['href']) {
    $this->redirect($this->url->https('account/login'));
}
?>

Even better:

Code: Select all

if (!$this->customer->isLogged() &&  
				(
				$this->url->http('account/login') != $breadcrumbs[2]['href'] 
				&& $this->url->http('account/forgotten') != $breadcrumbs[2]['href']
				&& $this->url->http('account/create') != $breadcrumbs[2]['href']
				)
) {
    $this->redirect($this->url->http('account/login'));
}

) {
    $this->redirect($this->url->http('account/login'));
}
I did try removing the "s" from the https first off, but that had no effect, but the above code works perfectly.

Thanks so much!

Just one final thing, after login/registration is there a way of forwarding to the homepage (catalog) rather than the account page?

Thanks once again,

Easy ;D. Open catalog/controller/account/login.php and change line 18: $this->redirect($this->url->https('account/account')); to:

Code: Select all

$this->redirect($this->url->https('common/home'));
That takes care of the login. For new users who just created an account, open catalog/controller/account/success.php and change line 41: $this->data['continue'] = $this->url->http('account/account'); to:

Code: Select all

$this->data['continue'] = $this->url->http('common/home');

Wow Thanks guys! One more thing. Is it possible to hide all the side column as well (categories, brands, shopping cart etc) if the customer is not logged in?

It is! In the template file for each module, make the very first line:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->customer->isLogged()) { ?>
and the very last line:

Code: Select all

<?php } ?>
That's it.

Redirect after Login

Quote

Post by marogiannis » Sun Apr 11, 2010 6:39 pm

Hello,
I am looking for a solution for v1.4.6 and up where the user, after registering or login to his account, he is then redirected to a specific page of my choice. For example, a redirection to index.php?route=product/category&path=134

I followed instructions here (based on older OC versions - so I wasnt able to fix this)...

I did some testing and I encountered I some problems after making some changes to the files catalog/controller/account/login.php and catalog/controller/account/success.php.

Obviously, I made some mistakes when changing the script.

I would appreciate some help on this matter.

Thank you
Giannis
