return to previous URL after logging out

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hello,

I’ve tried setting returnUrl in many ways including defining it in main layout like bellow but no matter what I do atfer logging out depending on what browser I use it returns to either home page, 404 or for some weird reason tries to load favicon.ico

this is what I’ve tried:


Yii::app()->user->setReturnUrl($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

or

Yii::app()->user->setReturnUrl($model->url);

and in the logout controller, after logging the user out, I’ve tried to execute following codes


$this->controller->refresh();

or

$this->redirect(Yii::app()->user->returnUrl);

Reason why I want to return to the previous/current page after logging-out is because I’ve implemented xPortlet and I have login box on header layout viewable site-wide, login works fine since it refreshes the page, but the same refresh code for logout results in infinite loop

Any help would be appreciated

Try this,


$this->redirect(Yii::app()->request->urlReferrer);

request->urlReferrer Works like a charm

Thank you, much appreciated :)
