Redirect to login page instead of index page in Yi

Question

When I am going to my application, the page is redirect to the index page in Yii.

As per requirement, I want to redirect to the login page of the user module just like /user/login.

So for doing that I have changed the sitecontroller code index to user/login, but it showed an error.

Can some one tell me how to redirect the user/login page by default instead of index page? Any help and suggestions will be highly appreciable.

Answer 1

To redirect to login page $this->redirect(array('/site/login'));

Answer 2

To redirect to a particular controller/action

$this->redirect(array('controller/action'));

Before getting to the View and its form, let’s be clear as to how the View accesses the specific Model. A Controller may have this code:

public function actionCreate() {

    $model=new Employee;

    /* Code for validation and redirect upon save. */

    // If not saved, render the create View:
    $this->render('create',array(
        'model'=>$model, // Model is passed to create.php View!
    ));
}

Answer 3

Check this thread on Yii framework forum.

Copy/paste of the answer (by jodev):

No need to extend anything. All you have to do is open up protected/config/main.php and add the following to the config array:

return array(
    'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',
    'name' => 'My application',
    'defaultController' => 'myController/myAction', // <--- add this line and replace with correct controller/action
