Installation ------------ [](#installation) Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) to add the bundle to your Contao application: ``` composer require ameotoko/backend-redirect ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) This bundle adds a backend route to your application (`/contao/redirect` by default). You can supply a query string to it, and it will redirect you to a correspondent backend module after adding proper request token and `ref`. If you have to login, you'll be redirected to `/contao/login` first. Why? ---- [](#why) Sometimes you might want to let your backend users to access a record editing form, using a direct link, like `/contao?do=members&act=edit&id=42`. For instance, your application might be sending notifications to your editors, where they can click on such a link in the email and proceed directly to editing the record. Prior to version 5.1, Contao's backend firewall will not let you do it directly – it will force your editors to go through a confirmation screen like this: [![](screenshot.png?raw=true)](screenshot.png?raw=true) which is not a good UX for your editors. With this extension, you can give them links like this: ``` https://example.com/contao/redirect?do=user&act=edit&id=1 ``` It will redirect to: ``` https://example.com/contao?do=user&act=edit&id=1&rt=a48be7155094538da5fe2.dO1lxYXxmvHGRIblveDcaZfHJMYJpQbWLaMMtb1oO8g.E4QDt-6hwr-pd9Sn8IGROeW2e544_36kcptUx-4QXvodviGcwqvbrv8o9Q ``` *NOTES:* 1. This will only work for idempotent actions that do not directly change or delete database records, such as e.g. `?act=edit`. In other cases, request token will not be added, and Contao's token check will still kick in. 2. Starting from version `5.1`, Contao does not require request token for idempotent actions anymore, so you do not need this bundle (see [contao/contao#5461](https://github.com/contao/contao/pull/5461)). Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) You can customize the URL path using route prefix: ``` # config/routes.yaml app_redirect: resource: '@AmeotokoBackendRedirectBundle/Resources/config/_definition.yaml' prefix: /contao/my-redirect ``` The endpoint will now be `https://example.com/contao/my-redirect`.
