require login to access page downloads.php + redirect on login submit

[USA_Webmaster]

I copy / pasted login form code from login.tpl, but this code doesn't redirect BACKTO downloads.php page. Might you have any advice to share?

 

I'm using six theme, and I read over this post: https://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?7738-Required-login-to-access-Downloads

 

It helped, so far, but maybe there is cleaner approach? A thing I noticed is that this only prevents downloads.php but not the specific category pages or anything... https://domain.com/downloads.php/1/XYZ?action=displaycat&catid=1

 

I open up the downloads.php file but that is encoded. Normally, I would just edit the .php file at root, and uncomment the code after $ca->initPage();

 

//$ca->requireLogin(); // Uncomment this line to require a login to access this page

 

Thanks for your time and good luck,

It would be nice if there was an easy way to login and redirect back to same page.

 

Like you - having looked at the forums, it does not appear to be easy with smarty and whmcs.

 

There used to be a simple method login/goto but that's no longer working.
