Symfony/Doctrine/SfGuardPlugin: Redirect to requested page (route), and not referrer

Question

I want to be able to take the user to the requested page after login, but this does not happen with sfGuard. ** My Register action requires SignIn ;) **

On the listing page [http://cim/frontend_dev.php/] -> user clicks the 'Register' link [@register = register/index] -> user is taken to 'Signin' page provided by sfGuard -> after sign-in, user is taken back to the Listing page (instead of Register) This is quite annoying! But logical, because the referrer is the listing page.

How can I change logic to make @register the referrer? Pl help. thanks

public function executeSignin($request)
  {
    $user = $this->getUser();
    $this->logMessage('Signin>>> form - isAuth() '.$user->isAuthenticated(), 'info');

    if ($user->isAuthenticated())
    {
        $this->getUser()->setAttribute('tenant', $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->sfuser->Tenant->getID());
        return $this->redirect($user->getReferer($request->getReferer()));
    }

    $class = sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_signin_form', 'sfGuardFormSignin'); 
    $this->form = new $class();
    $referer = $user->getReferer($request->getReferer());
    $this->logMessage('Signin>>> referer: '.$referer, 'info');
    $this->logMessage('Signin>>> referer: '.$request->getReferer(), 'info');

    if ($request->isMethod('post'))
    {
      $this->form->bind($request->getParameter('signin'));
      if ($this->form->isValid())
      {
        $values = $this->form->getValues(); 
        $this->getUser()->signin($values['user'], array_key_exists('remember', $values) ? $values['remember'] : false);
        $this->getUser()->setAttribute('tenant', $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->sfuser->Tenant->getID());

        $this->logMessage('Signin>>> sfUrl | @homepage: '.sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_success_signin_url','@homepage'), 'info');
        return $this->redirect("" != $referer ? $referer : sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_success_signin_url','@homepage'));
      }
    }
    else
    {
      if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest())
      {
        $this->getResponse()->setHeaderOnly(true);
        $this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(401);

        return sfView::NONE;
      }

      // if we have been forwarded, then the referer is the current URL
      // if not, this is the referer of the current request
      $user->setReferer($this->getContext()->getActionStack()->getSize() > 1 ? $request->getUri() : $request->getReferer());

      $this->logMessage('Signin>>> oldy: '.$request->getUri(), 'info');
      $this->logMessage('Signin>>> oldy: '.$request->getReferer(), 'info');

      $module = sfConfig::get('sf_login_module');
      if ($this->getModuleName() != $module)
      {
        return $this->redirect($module.'/'.sfConfig::get('sf_login_action'));
      }

      $this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(401);
    }
  }

Answer 1

I think the best way to get the referrer is $request->getReferer() So far, it has worked well for me!
