After login successfully, URL not changing in yii2-app-basic

Question

I was going to About Page after Successfully login. It's OK.

But, URL not changing to About Page. It is same as login Page, but the content of page is About Page.

SiteController.php

public function actionLogin()
{
    if (!\Yii::$app->user->isGuest) 
    {
        return $this->goHome();
    }

    $model = new LoginForm();
    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) 
    {
        return $this->render('about'); // Here
    }

    return $this->render('login', [
        'model' => $model,
    ]);
}

URL is same as http://localhost/myProject/yii/web/index.php?r=site%2Flogin. It should be http://localhost/mylawsuit/yii/web/index.php?r=site%2Fabout

So, how to change URL after login.? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of rendering about view, you should simply use a redirection :

return $this->redirect(['about']);

Answer 2

your answer:

if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) 
{
     $this->redirect(['about']); // change here to this
}

Answer 3

You can use Yii::$app->request->referrer here a Yii Documentation

Answer 4

You are rendering the about view in actionLogin. obviously your URL will be login & have content of about view.

Try something like this.

public function actionLogin()
{
    if (!\Yii::$app->user->isGuest) 
    {
        return $this->goHome();
    }

    $model = new LoginForm();
    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) 
    {
        return $this->redirect('about'); // Change it to redirect
    }

    return $this->render('login', [
        'model' => $model,
    ]);
}
public function actionAbout()
{
   return $this->render('about');
}

Hope it will help!
