I have a redirect plugin listed below - Is there a way for PHP to redirect to the previous page upon submit rather than a URL?

Thanks - nmsinc

<?php



addFilter('section_init', '_plugin_redirectonsave', null, 2);

function _plugin_redirectonsave($tableName, $action) {
if ($tableName != 'claims_submission') { return; } // only run on accounts tabl
if ($action != 'list') { return; } // only run on list

$recordNum = @$_REQUEST['saved'];
$url = "http://www.claimscaddy.com/claims/listing.php?q=" . urlencode("Saved record $recordNum in $tableName");
redirectBrowserToURL($url);
}

?>

Hi,

Which page would you want to return to? Normally in PHP you can use the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] variable. In CMS Builder, however, during a record_postsave, the past page will always be you edit page.

If you could tell us which page you are looking to get back to, and we can try to work something out.

Thanks,

Hi,

I see, so your users are jumping from a front end list page, to an edit page inside CMS Builder, then redirecting them back to a front end list page.

One thing you can try is, on your list page, set a session variable with the name of the current file they're on.

for example:

<?php
$_SESSION['listPageUrl'] = "http://www.claimscaddy.com/claims/listing.php";
?>

Then in your plugin, you can use the value of $_SESSION['listPageUrl'] as the page your redirect to.

hope this helps

This plugin works great for the users, but how do I get this plugin to ignore admins logging into the cms back end directly?

When an admin logs in and edits a record, we get the following error;



Notice: Undefined index: listPageUrl in /homepublic_html/cmsadmin/plugins/redirect.php on line 17 redirectBrowserToURL: No url specified!

Hi,

If you're using the same code as above, you can get the plugin to stop running the function if the current user is an admin.

EXAMPLE:

function _plugin_redirectonsave($tableName, $action) {
global $CURRENT_USER;

if ($tableName != 'claims_submission') { return; } // only run on accounts tabl
if ($action != 'list') { return; } // only run on list
if ($CURRENT_USER['isAdmin']) { return; }

Hope this helps

Awsesome! That did the trick, it now redirects users, and ignores admins. perfect!

Really impressed that you took the time to reply over a weekend.
