Hi Dylan
you might want to look at my earlier post (http://www.nabble.com/how-
to-add-auth--t2907053s16154.html#a8123139
) where I outlined my solution to this same problem. I'm not sure if
it's the best way of doing it but it worked for me...

Hi Simon,
The login page does show up at /foo/bar . But the form submits to /
login/index
At which point the original url is lost. I'm using quickform here too.
I'm not really redirecting to display the login page I don't think.
In preDispatch all I do is override what controller (login) and
action (index) to run.
So I am getting to the login action whilst at /foo/bar . The
problem is in the form submission submitting to /login/index . I
need it to submit to that url and then redirect back to /foo/bar/
whatever/values
I suppose in the login action I could get the url (how do you do
this?) and pass that around with flashmessenger or in a hidden
field in the login form.

Hi Dylan
Is there a reason you need to redirect rather than forward? If you
had your preDispatch perform a _forward instead of a complete
redirect then you could perform the login at the address /foo/bar
instead of /login/index and there'd be no need to capture and re-
assemble that url.
Alternatively you could use the FlashMessenger action helper to
store such a URL and retrieve it after a successful login or re-set
it every unsuccessful login to ensure it persists.
Hi all
When a user accesses a restricted page on my site and they have no
identity a plugin in preDispatch sets the controller to login and
action to index to render the page /login/index
This works fine. However I want to redirect to the url they were
initially trying to access after they login.
I was thinking of doing something like this in the plugin.
$request->setParam('redirectController', $request-
>getControllerName());
$request->setParam('redirectAction', $request->getActionName());
And then passing the data to a hidden field in my login form such
as redirectUrl.
This gets complicated though. If I want to pass any keys/values.
I could do something like this.
$request->setParam('redirectParams', $request->getParams());
But this won't work for everything as I am using custom routes
that fuddle up getParams(). Ie one of my routes overrides the /
controller/action/key/value/key/value scheme to /controller/action/
value1/value2/value3 and stores the values as an array in its own
param.
So really I can't simply just iterate through getParams to build
my redirect url.
I kind of want to access the requestUrl or pathInfo which I
noticed is protected in the request object.
Then I can simply use this to redirect after a login. Is this
possible and what is the difference between the two?
Does anybody have any ideas? Is there an alternate approach?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
