Prevent User from navigating away from page

Adrian Räuchle Posted in Component Development 7 years ago

Hey guys,
When a user does his first login i want him to be redirect to a page were he should enter additional data.
This works well!

now i wrote a hook which listens on page:load event.

The Hook Handler looks the following:

function my_page_load($hook, $type, $return, $params)
{
if (ossn_isLoggedin()) {
    $subpage = $params['page'][1];

    if ($subpage !== 'address') {

        ossn_trigger_message(ossn_print('user:address:error'), 'error');

        $user = ossn_loggedin_user();

        $url = $user->profileURL('/address');
        header("Location: {$url}");
        exit();
    }
}

}

The redirection works, the user gets redirect to his address page. But the styles, javascripts are also prevented from being loaded.

Any idea how i can prevent user clicking away from the page and force him to enter his address and get the styles etc. being loaded?

Hi try following, (you should post your code next time to gist)

function my_page_load($hook, $type, $return, $params) {
        if(ossn_isLoggedin()) {
                $subpage = $params["page"][1];
                $array = array(
                        'address',
                        'css',
                        'js'
                );
                if(!in_array($subpage, $array)) {
                        ossn_trigger_message(ossn_print("user:address:error"), "error");
                        $user = ossn_loggedin_user();
                        $url = $user->profileURL("/address");
                        header("Location: {$url}");
                        exit();
                }
        }
}

Hey Adrian,

since this forum/editor isn't really made and meant for exchanging program code I'd recommend to put your complete stuff onto Github instead. It's much easier and more foolproof to add corrections in the right place via pull requests.

Thanks.

You need to make sure that $subpage !== "address" , 'js', 'css', 'action'.....

@ondrej:

this is quite easy to achieve.
you have to build a listener to ossnaddhook('user', 'login');

than in ur handler u get the current user with ossnloggedinuser(); on the user you have a field called last_login. if that is 0 than it is the first user login and than you could redirect it to a page like redirect('mypage');
