Navigation snapshot code broken?

I've been looking into why I'm always redirected to my website's home page after I login. On most ecommerce websites I expect to be directed back to the previous page.

Can someone please explain what the following code in includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php does?

        if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot) > 0) {
          //    $back = sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2;
          //if (isset($_SESSION['navigation']->path[$back]['page'])) {
          //    if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 > 0) {
          $origin_href = zen_href_link($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['page'], zen_array_to_string($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['get'], array(zen_session_name())), $_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['mode']);
          //            $origin_href = zen_back_link_only(true);
          $_SESSION['navigation']->clear_snapshot();
          zen_redirect($origin_href);
        } else {
          zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', $request_type));
        }

To me, it looks like it sends the visitor to their last page (before logging in). However, I always end up on the home page.

Is this code broken?

All the best,

Alex

I have used this and it seemed to work.

Fix back history to previous page modules/pages/login/header_php.php
org code:
} else {
    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));
}
replace with:
} else {
    $origin_href = zen_back_link_only(true);
    zen_redirect($origin_href);
}

I'm currently using this code and experience the following issue.

If I am on a product_info page and then login I will be returned to that same product_info page - which is correct.

However, If I'm on the shopping_cart page and login I will be returned to the home page - which is incorrect (as I should be redirected back to the shopping_cart page.

Does anyone else experience this?

That's normal, as there is no snapshot taken on the shopping cart page. Snapshots are only taken on pages that require login. However, if you click the "Go to Checkout" button, a snapshot will be taken if the customer isn't logged in yet, then they will be taken to the login page, and then returned to checkout normally.

Thanks for explaining this.

Is it possible to take snapshots on all pages (to ensure that the customer is returned to their previous page after login)?

I'm currently using sessions to achieve the above. If I could simply modify the snapshot code that already exists that would obviously be much better.

All the best,

Alex

See Similar Threads below for ideas.

Thanks DyByte.

I've currently written some code that I'm using (just on the login page) to work around this. All appears to be working well... so I'll stick with it for now.
