How To Change To Use Forward Instead Of Redirect

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

In my yii application, when I go to a particular controller/action without login, it will redirect me to the logon page. But, I don’t want to change the url, how can I achieve this? Many thanks

add this function in your controller




public function accessRules()

	{

		return array(

			array('allow',  // allow all users

				'users'=>array('*'),

			),

		);

	}

Thanks for helping.

The rules are there already and it can redirect me to the logon page. However, I want it "forward" to the logon page without changing the url. What is the simplest way to do this?

Hi you can call a beforeController method

for e.g


public function beforeControllerAction($controller, $action)

        {

                if(parent::beforeControllerAction($controller, $action))

                {

                        // this method is called before any module controller action is performed

                        // you may place customized code here

                        return true;

                }

                else

                        return false;

        }

Hi

use this in condition that you prompt the user to login


$this->forward('login');

Thanks for helping.

Where should I put the “$this->forward(‘login’)”? sorry that I’m new to Yii.

Thanks for helping. It seems right to use beforeControllerAction as it should be run before the redirect. Can you tell me where should I put it? Sorry I’m new to Yii.

Hi you can put the action on module class file


Class QuickDialModule extends CWebModule{

   public function init(){

     // ... code ...

   }

   // ... code ... other functions


   public function beforeControllerAction(){

       // ... do whatever you were doing inside the function ...

   }

}

Thanks for helping!

I’ve added the beforeControllerAction(), but it didn’t work for me.

Luckily, I found that preFilter can solve my problem. Thanks guys.

  1. remove accessrule for this action

  2. add on the top of your action this code


if (Yii::app()->user->isGuest) $this->forward('login');
