Redirecting to custom sign-in page when accessing restricted pages

pavsid

Hi all, I've extended the sign-in / sign-up on our main website to communicate with Vanilla so users only need to go through the main website.

However, when some restricted pages in Vanilla are accessed the call to $this->Permission('Garden.SignIn.Allow'); redirects the user to the /entry/signin page. This page isn't used by our app any more, so i'm wondering how to override the Gdn_Controller::Permission method so that it redirects to our custom sign-in page, not the Vanilla one.

Only option I can think of is by using htaccess to redirect. But is there a another (better) way?

In 2.2 you will be able to do this:

public function EntryController_OverrideSignIn_Handler($Sender, &$Args) {
    $Args[Target] = 'Your URL';
}

until that, I'd just do it like this:

public function Gdn_Dispatcher_AfterAnalyzeRequest_Handler($Sender) {
    if ($Sender->ControllerMethod == 'signin') {
        Redirect('Your URL');
    }
}

You can override that by defining a route calledDefaultPermission under Dashboard/Routes.

Hi @Bleistivt - unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. The route is already added, and even if I edit it with my custom URL, when I access any restricted pages the app still redirects to entry/signin.

By the way my version is 2.1.9

Perfect
