Question

My loginAction is in a module user, in the controller application/modules/user/controllers/AuthController.php. I want to redirect upon successful login to the indexAction in application/controllers/IndexController.php. So I have this:

if ($result->isValid()) {
            $auth->getStorage()->write($adapter->getResultRowObject());

            $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'index');

            return;
}

When I now login, I get the message Message: Invalid controller specified (index). I guess it is because my login is in the module user, while the IndexController is in the root application.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The redirector() action helper has several methods to redirect the request.

try this, the controllers at application/controllers are in the ‘default’ module:

if ($result->isValid()) {
    $auth->getStorage()->write($adapter->getResultRowObject());
    //redirector($action, $controller, $module)
    $this->_helper->redirector('index', 'index', 'default');
}

The way I prefer to use this helper is more explicit, so I don’t have to remember the defaults:

 if ($result->isValid()) {
        $auth->getStorage()->write($adapter->getResultRowObject());
        //gotoSimple($action, $controller, $module, $params = array())
        $this->getHelper(redirector)->gotoSimple('index', 'index', 'default');
        //or use gotoUrl($url)
        $this->getHelper(redirector)->gotoUrl('/index/index');
        //or use gotoRoute()
        $this->getHelper(redirector)->gotoRoute('action'=>'index', 'controller'=>'index', 'module' => 'default');
    }

and the quick and dirty utility method:

 if ($result->isValid()) {
        $auth->getStorage()->write($adapter->getResultRowObject());
        //_redirect($url);
        $this->_redirect('/index/index');
    }

Hope this helps
