Answer 2

For Laravel 5.4, following code worked for me by just updating LoginController.php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\URL;


public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
    Session::put('backUrl', URL::previous());
}


public function redirectTo()
{
    return Session::get('backUrl') ? Session::get('backUrl') :   $this->redirectTo;
}

Answer 3

Look into laravel cheat sheet

and use:

URL::previous();

to go to the previous page.

Answer 4

If you want to redirect always to /home except for those pages with comments, then you should overwrite your redirectTo method in your LoginController:

public function redirectTo()
{
     return session('url.intended') ?? $this->redirectTo;
}

On all pages where you want to remain on the site, you should store the url for one request in the session:

public function show(Category $category, Project $project){
   // ...

   session()->flash('url.intended' , '/' . request()->path());
}

For Laravel 5.3

inside App/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController add this line to the __construct() function

$this->redirectTo = url()->previous();

So the full code will be

public function __construct()
{
    $this->redirectTo = url()->previous();
    $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
}

It works like a charm for me i'm using laravel 5.3.30

Answer 6

Redirect to login with the current's page url as a query string:

<a href="{{ url('login?redirect_to=' . urlencode(request()->url())) }}">login</a>

In your LoginController check if exists and save the query string in session then redirect to the url after login

public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        if ( \request()->get( 'redirect_to' ) ) {
            session()->put( 'redirect.url', \request()->get( 'redirect_to' ) );
        }
        $this->middleware( 'guest' )->except( 'logout' );
}

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) {
        if(session()->has('redirect.url') {
             return redirect( session()->get( 'redirect.url' ) );
        }
}
