Laravel default Auth system is great, but sometimes there's a need that user would register but NOT log in automatically. The problem is that Laravel does auto-login by default after registration. Worry no more, there is a simple solution for that!
Let's start with fresh Laravel 5.2 installation and 'php artisan make:auth' command called. Of course this will work in existing projects too!
Next, let's create a nice success page: (for the purpose of our tutorial I'm keeping it really simple)
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
<div class="alert alert-success">
Success! You have registered, please check your email for more instructions!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
* File was saved under /resources/views/success.blade.php
Now we add a route, in which user will be met with our success message:
Route::get('/auth/success', [
'as' => 'auth.success',
'uses' => 'Auth\AuthController@success'
]);
And finally - open app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php and make these changes:
1. Add new method:
public function success()
{
return view('success');
}
2. Override 'register' method:
/**
* Handle a registration request for the application.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function register(Request $request)
{
$validator = $this->validator($request->all());
if ($validator->fails()) {
$this->throwValidationException(
$request, $validator
);
}
$this->create($request->all());
return redirect(route('auth.success')); // Change this route to your needs
}
That is it! By overriding AuthController::register() method and changing
Auth::guard($this->getGuard())->login($this->create($request->all()));
to
$this->create($request->all());
in the code - you've disabled auto-login function. Now your users will see a nice success page instead of being logged in directly!
