I wanted to share this with the joomla community. When members visit an article when not logged in they get the very unhelpful 403 access restricted page. Its an easy template modification to move them to the login screen, but then they don't end up at the article they wanted when they login.

Here are step by step instruction on how to modify your default 1.5.9 joomla install to longin members and then send them to the page they requested.

I fumbled through most of it, so the code could probably be improved. If you can improve it, Post it here! Hopefully joomla will incorporate something like this into its default install.

First. Modify the /templates/system/error.php.

Find the line:
Quote:
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );


and the place the following code after the code above:

Quote:
$ReferTo = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$ReferTo = base64_encode($ReferTo);

if ($this->error->code = '403') {
header('Location:index.php?option=com_user&view=login&ReferTo='.$ReferTo); die();
}


Second. Modify the /components/com_user/views/login/tmpl/default_login.php

Search for:
Quote:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php echo $this->return; ?>" />


And replace it with:
Quote:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="<?php if ($_GET['ReferTo']) echo $_GET['ReferTo']; else echo $this->return; ?>" />


There you have it. You should be all modified! I have included the 2 files in this message, so you can just overwrite the last ones as well. It might be easier then opening and modifying the code. But beware you are using the same version of joomla. ONLY modify the code yourself if you are using a different version.

Please read the instructions more closely. I specify putting the code after this line. Removing the code would allow this file to be called without being logged in... Now if it was a public access file, then I don't see the problem in it... But I am not really an expert and its all sort of off topic anyhow. Yes. Don't remove the code.

Yes, it took me the better part of a day to figure out how to do this. Glad I can save other people some time.

On another note, I just took at look at the upgrade package from joomla 1.5.9 to 1.5.10. The files we are working with here do not appear to be changed in 1.5.10. So, the instructions and the upgrade files should both work for 1.5.10 as well as 1.5.9.

Now, to be phenomenological about this, we need to see the file overwrites in action in order to be sure. If anyone can confirm that the files posted here do in fact work in 1.5.10, I am sure there would be other people who would appreciate the confirmation.

Just tried this with J1.5.10 and CB1.2 and it did not work. Worth a try though.

With the helpful hints that I get at this forum I will never really learn Joomla or PHP...
This "small" change really makes a difference. It makes my amateur page seem much more professional. A visitor can save a page to his favorites and later just click it - sign in and go right to the page. Just like a real web page! lol - thanks.

Very good! I haven't thoroughly tested it but it worked the first time. Thank you.

Can't believe this is not a default thing here.

Wow, this worked, thanks so much!

RANT: It's REDICULOUS that a product this mature does not do this by default! It's utterly absurd that I have to hack the code to make this behave the way it should!!!!!

Most awesome posting and it did exactly what I wanted it to do.

One further question, is there anyway to make the login form popup in front of the (blacked out) page they were on trying to access the restricted link from? to look something like this:

Thanks for a great solution!

Great post! I'm using 1.5.14 and the redirect goes to the login page as it should but it returns to the home page rather than the requested page. Any ideas on how I can get it to go to the requested page rather than the home page?

Generator11, o2plus2h:

I made it work with Community Builder. I think I have 1.2 Stable.
Running Joomal Version 1.5.14

Upload the Error file in /templates/system - File still the same no change with this version

Change

if ($this->error->code = '403') {
header('Location:index.php?option=com_user&view=login&ReferTo='.$ReferTo); die();
}

if ($this->error->code = '403') {
header('Location:index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=login&ReferTo='.$ReferTo); die();

Wow, this stuff is starting to make sense to me.
If someone can post this in CB forums that would be great.

Joomla rocks!
Thanks drsassafras for getting it started!

jazzking, the instructions are very clear and if you follow exactly what drsassafras says it works. 403 is an error, its a link that cannot be accessed unless you have the correct privledges. If you're not wanting what this post instructs then you should look elsewhere or post what you are really looking for but this does exactly what it says!

There is an alternative...

* Create a separate menu that is not Activated.
* In that menu place a link to the page that is members only and set it Registered.
* In your main menu place a link to the link in the inactive menu and leave it set Public.

The users will see the link in your main menu. When that link is clicked by non logged in members the 'Please login..' will be displayed. After logging in the user will be directed to the target page.
