How do I redirect user customer to the page he/she was before a log in success?

Question

I'm using Magento 1.4.1.1

Only logged in customer can access a couple of pages of my website. So, when a non-logged in customer tries to access a page that needs him/her to be logged in, he/she is redirected to the login page. Using the following code.

if(!$this->helper('customer')->isLoggedIn())
{
    Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl('customer/account'));
}

After login success the customer is redirected to his/her account panel (the previous page location is lost).

Is there any way to make magento go back to the page where the customer was, after login succes ?

Regards

Answer 1

You can add this to the page of the customer must login : Mage::getModel('customer/session')->setBeforeAuthUrl([the link of your page])

Answer 2

Go to System->Configuration->Customer Configuration->Login Options and set the value for Redirect Customer to Account Dashboard after Logging in to No.

Answer 3

There are (at least) two options to control the redirect target after customer log in:

1. Set the after_auth_url property at the customer session.
2. In combination with the aforementioned suggestion by Marius, add a referer request parameter to the loginPost request.

See Mage_Customer_AccountController::_loginPostRedirect().

and trying to put it in the controller file 'app/code/local/Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php' in the function "loginPostAction" just before "if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {"
