Symfony/Doctrine/SfGuardPlugin: Redirect to requested page (route), and not referrer - redirect

Question

I want to be able to take the user to the requested page after login, but this does not happen with sfGuard.
** My Register action requires SignIn ;) **
On the listing page [http://cim/frontend_dev.php/]
-> user clicks the 'Register' link [#register = register/index]
-> user is taken to 'Signin' page provided by sfGuard
-> after sign-in, user is taken back to the Listing page (instead of Register)
This is quite annoying! But logical, because the referrer is the listing page.
How can I change logic to make #register the referrer? Pl help. thanks
public function executeSignin($request)
{
$user = $this->getUser();
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> form - isAuth() '.$user->isAuthenticated(), 'info');
if ($user->isAuthenticated())
{
$this->getUser()->setAttribute('tenant', $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->sfuser->Tenant->getID());
return $this->redirect($user->getReferer($request->getReferer()));
}
$class = sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_signin_form', 'sfGuardFormSignin');
$this->form = new $class();
$referer = $user->getReferer($request->getReferer());
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> referer: '.$referer, 'info');
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> referer: '.$request->getReferer(), 'info');
if ($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$this->form->bind($request->getParameter('signin'));
if ($this->form->isValid())
{
$values = $this->form->getValues();
$this->getUser()->signin($values['user'], array_key_exists('remember', $values) ? $values['remember'] : false);
$this->getUser()->setAttribute('tenant', $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->sfuser->Tenant->getID());
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> sfUrl | #homepage: '.sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_success_signin_url','#homepage'), 'info');
return $this->redirect("" != $referer ? $referer : sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_success_signin_url','#homepage'));
}
}
else
{
if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest())
{
$this->getResponse()->setHeaderOnly(true);
$this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(401);
return sfView::NONE;
}
// if we have been forwarded, then the referer is the current URL
// if not, this is the referer of the current request
$user->setReferer($this->getContext()->getActionStack()->getSize() > 1 ? $request->getUri() : $request->getReferer());
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> oldy: '.$request->getUri(), 'info');
$this->logMessage('Signin>>> oldy: '.$request->getReferer(), 'info');
$module = sfConfig::get('sf_login_module');
if ($this->getModuleName() != $module)
{
return $this->redirect($module.'/'.sfConfig::get('sf_login_action'));
}
$this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(401);
}
}

Answer 1

I think the best way to get the referrer is $request->getReferer()
So far, it has worked well for me!
