Soviet Rathe 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 I've integrated a login system for my forum (IPB) and I can't seem to get the redirection working. Here is my code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; <html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/; <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=<% CHARSET %>" /> <title>{$this->ipsclass->lang['stand_by']}</title> $css<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="window.history.back(1)"></head> <body> <div id="redirectwrap"> <h4>{$this->ipsclass->lang['thanks']}</h4> <p>$Text<br /><br />{$this->ipsclass->lang['transfer_you']}</p> <p class="redirectfoot">(<a href="$Url">{$this->ipsclass->lang['dont_wait']}</a>)</p> </div><center>PLEASE CLICK THE LINK ABOVE AS WE ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE THE LOGIN SYSTEM</center> </body></html> the input I have right before the head ends is what I'm trying to make work. when a user logs into my site from the main page or another page their directed to a redirection page which directs them to the forums. now my login system works fine but I would like to make it so when a user logs in, they are directed to the last page they were on. This part <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="window.history.back(1)">is the part I think is wrong because the browser gives a 404. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soviet Rathe 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 ahh thanks BH, I had already found a solution. here's the code that works <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3,java script:window.history.back(1);" /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 I get the strangest feeling that window.history.back() may not be compatible with your current browser.Try this function if you must <script>function goback() { history.go(-1);}</script><input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="java script:goback()"> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soviet Rathe 1 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 Actually I still have a problem, even though that works fine, when it goes back. the page is not updated. so when a user logs in and they are taken back to the page they were on. it still shows them as not logged-in until they refresh the page... any solution to this?

truefusion 3 Report post Posted March 5, 2010 The reason why it doesn't update is because of the browser, not necessarily the code you are using. The meta information anwiii provided should go on the page that you'll be redirecting to; the JavaScript, obviously, where you want the redirect to occur.If PRAMGA:NO-CACHE doesn't work, try CACHE-CONTROL:NO-CACHE <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache"> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

truefusion 3 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 but I don't want the whole page to not cache, just the login form, btw, I'm messing with the login page so it won't be the same as it was EDIT> I cannot use meta tags, maybe this will help. This is my form for the main site Showing us the code won't help you, for there is no way to disable cache for certain HTML elements, only the whole page. The closest thing to what you are asking for is to shove the form into another page and load it from an iframe. Use PHP's header() function to inform the browser that it should not cache the page. Look at Example #2 Caching directives in the PHP manual for the header() function to see how to disable cache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anwiii 17 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 ummm i am glad you solved it, but i think this whole problem was on your end. when i logged in to the test account a couple days ago, i had absolutely no problems with the site recognizing me as logged in without refreshing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
