Client Login Hook Not Working?

[dan76]

I created a simple hook to redirect a user to a page after logging out. Using the same logic, I tried creating another hook to redirect a user after logging in. However, this is not working.

 

Here's what I have:

 

<?php
function login_redirect($vars) {
header( 'Location: https://www.my-redirect-here.com' ) ;
}
add_hook("ClientLogin",1,"login_redirect");
?>

 

What could I be missing something?

Just to cover all bases... but did you put that hook file in WHMCS/includes/hooks directory

Also you should have the name of the file at the end of the url that you are redirecting to.

Yes, the file is included in the hooks directory. And even when I add the file name to the url the problem still persists.

 

Could this be a bug? I created a similar hook created for a redirect after logout, and this hook works perfectly (even without a file name). For some reason, the same logic is not working for the ClientLogin hook point.

Try it like this by adding exit; on the next line

function login_redirect($vars) {

header("Location: http://www.example.com/");

exit;

}

add_hook("ClientLogin",1,"login_redirect");

That did it! Thanks for your help Sparky.

Does anyone know how to update login hook function to not redirect when user is in new account creation and ordering process?

 

When hook is applied this is how it looks:

1. Client is choosing hosting plan

2. Entering his new account details

3. He is trying to checkout

 

and now instead of finishing order he is being redirected to place where login hook is redirecting and ordering process is not being finished.
