How to change redirect URL on empty fields submit

Hi CB,

I made a duplicate of mod_cblogin, called mod_cblogin2 to use for a specific purpose.

Problem:

If the user clicks the "Login" button when the Username and Password fields are empty, they get taken to a page displaying the default login fields.

How do I modify the mod_cblogin2.php code to keep the user on my new duplicate mod_cblogin2 login page?

Perhaps you could also include code recommendations for displaying a short text error message above the fields if the redirect kicks in, such as "Field entries required."

Thanks,

My duplicate mod_cblogin2 module displays on an article page with this URL:

index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=76

I've noticed that the current redirect is going here:

And from what I can see, the code resembling the above is located around line 104:

Is this the line of code I need to modify, and if so, how?
If it isn't, then please advise what I need to change.

Thanks,

Why was a second copy of the login module necessary? Simply create a new copy of the module within module manager and move to whatever position you want. There's no need to duplicate the PHP and XML or anything of the sort. The login module posts to CBs login page. Without doing so the login can not happen. You can not change this as CB doesn't perform a redirect on failed login, it simply displays the page instead of performing the login. This can be reviewed further within the function login inside comprofiler.php.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your input. I needed the duplicate login because in my case, the purpose is for pre-registered users to claim their default membership, so I wanted to change the button text for this specific module to "Continue" instead of "Login". After pressing "Continue" they would be directed to the CB Subs upgrade option page.

I've got it all working except that if the login fails, it goes to the actual CB Login form, not my modified form.

How can I get it to stay on my version of the form, and not go to the original CB Login form?

Can this be done? It's not really a redirect, now that I think about it. What code can I change so that it stays on my version of the CB Login form (mod_cblogin2)?

Thanks,

You can't, as I've stated the module posts to the login page. On failed login to simply displays the login page instead of redirecting. It's not module specific either. I suppose you could edit your second login module, add a custom hidden input to send with the post, then in the login function of comprofiler.php check for that hidden input in $_POST.. if it's present then echo a javascript history.go(-1) or something of the sort.
