[Plugin: SimpleModal Login] Login Redirect Problem

WillPCG – sorry for not responding sooner. I looked at this for a while yesterday and it took me a while to figure out what the problem was.

The problem is happening because you are redirecting the users to a client page, as opposed to the admin dashboard – it’s not expecting the login form to be in the response.

Until I can figure out a solution, you can edit the default.js file and remove the following code:

else if (loginform.length > 0) {
		SimpleModalLogin.showError(form, 'empty_both');
	}

Let me know if that does not resolve the issue…

Just thinking about this, it makes sense that it is not forwarding. Well, actually it is, but the plugin is using an ajax call to get the response and it doesn’t know about your client page.

So, you have a couple of options. Question though – do you plan on protecting the client portal? Right now I can visit it w/o being logged in.

If you are, then I would suggest the following. First, you can put a unique id on the body of the client portal page(s), client_portal for example. Then update default.js:

var data = $('<div></div>').append(resp),
	error = $('#login_error', data[0]),
	client = $('#client_portal', data[0]), // new
	loginform = $('#loginform', data[0]);

if (error.length > 0) {
	$('p:first', form[0]).before(error);
}
else {
	var redirect = $('#redirect_to', form[0]).val(),
		href = location.href;

	if (redirect.length > 0) {
		if (SimpleModalLogin.url && SimpleModalLogin.url.indexOf("redirect_to") !== -1) {
			var p = SimpleModalLogin.url.split("=");
			href = unescape(p[1]);
		}
		else {
			href = redirect;
		}
	}
	// new
	else if (client.length > 0) {
		href = 'http://pinpointcreative.com/revision/client-portal/'; // enter the actual url here
	}
	window.location = href;
	dialog.close();
}

Hope that helps.

Actually – ignore that post – I solved it.
