XF 2.1 Redirect to 'register' page from /XF/Entity/Session

Wutime · May 13, 2019

Hoping someone can help: I've extended the /XF/Entity/Session to track a special cookie value pair for guests.

When an occurrence is found I want to redirect the current guest visitor to the registration page.

What is the best method of redirection? /XF/Entity/Session has no redirect methods and PHP Header("Location") is messy.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of what method or existing class to use for best practices, and how to use that from /XF/Entity/Session if possible?

Thank you very much in advance.

I tried the following, which is definitely not pretty, but it gives a "400 Bad Request" error:

PHP:

$response = \XF::app()->http()->client();
$response->redirect('http://192.168.33.10/xenforo/index.php?register');

The resulting error:

An exception occurred: [GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException] Client error: REDIRECT http://192.168.33.10/xenforo/index.php?register resulted in a 400 Bad Request response: <!DOCTYPE html> <html id="XF" lang="en-US" dir="LTR" data-app="public" data-template="error" data-container-key="" d (truncated...) in src/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Exception/RequestException.php on line 113

My goal is to immediately forward the user to the non-overlay registration page. Something like: RedirectCurrentVisitor ('register')

try:

PHP:

\XF:app()->response()->redirect($url, $httpCode);

(untested)

Wutime · May 14, 2019

Works perfectly, thank you

PHP:

\XF::app()->response()->redirect($url, $httpCode);

I'm using the following code to build the URL to redirect to the registration page.

If someone has a cleaner way to build the full URL (something that's bullet proof against the registration page changing locations) please let me know:

PHP:

$registerUrl = $options->boardUrl . 'register/'; // registration link

I did try:

PHP:

\XF::app()->router('public')->buildLink('register')

but it results in: /xenforo/register/ and the $boardUrl already has /xenforo/ in it because of my sub-directory, so this method seemed like it would require too much string clean-up.

this should work for you:

PHP:

\XF::app()->router('public')->buildLink('register');

oh, so you found a solution by yourself. You don't need $options->boardUrl.

Wutime · May 14, 2019

lol, right you are, it works without $options->boardUrl

cheers again @nocte

Can you show your work for the class for the \XF::app()->response()->redirect($url, $httpCode); i seem to not get this to work

RisteDimitrievski · Sep 10, 2022

You can also

PHP:

$this->redirect($this->buildLink('register')); // it will redirect to the index.php?register
