Return to previous page after login and refresh - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

ok driving me bend. no programmer try best.

here want do:

i need return user previous page on before logged in have page refresh make content hidden guests visible logged in users.

here did , failed.

i have jreviews page public except tiny custom field shows coupons listing , see must logged in. guest not logged in, message "you need logged in see that. click here log in or here register". far good. problem, however, either log in or register taken away page page defined in jomsocial redirect. using jomsocial hello me login module got spammed ad naseum core joomla one.

i have customised redirect landing page give user few options of might want go. 1 of options "go previous page" tried using

code: select all

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)+">

but while takes me previous page, cannot see changes because page not refresh. tried add

code: select all

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_session['page'])) {
    echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh'  content='0.5'>";
unset($_session['page']);
} else { }
?>

to template header and

code: select all

<?php
session_start();
$_session['page'] = "this page";
?>

to page history.go is. needless say, page refreshed page session set because joomla header common pages.

so essentially, there can use take user page logged in , refresh page changes visible logged in users can seen? seems such simple thing , yet it's been driving me bend cannot seem hold of solution.

as said, no php developer understand basic concepts. if there simple tutorial on how this, grateful. if have code need , can guide me on how use it, more grateful.

cheers

anyone have idea on this?
