redirect in add-on module redirecting me to admin control panel login form with # appended in URL

Question

$this->EE->functions->redirect(BASE . AMP . 'C=addons_modules' . AMP . 'M=show_module_cp' . AMP . 'module=module_name_here' . '#tabsettings');

EE v2.9.2

I want to redirect the user after the person submits the form, then it fires off the redirect function.

When I append #tabsettings, it redirects me to the Admin CP login form. Here is the URL it directs me to:

http://project.dev/admin.php?/cp/login&return=Qz1hZGRvbnNfbW9kdWxlcyZhbXA7TT1zaG93X21vZHVsZV9jcCZhbXA7bW9kdWxlPWVlX3ZiX2ludGVncmF0aW9u#tabsettings

If I remove the #tabsettings, it will keep me within the module control panel, but I want it to load the settings view, which needs the #tabsettings to know which part of the view to load.

$this->EE->functions->redirect(BASE . AMP . 'C=addons_modules' . AMP . 'M=show_module_cp' . AMP . 'module=module_name_here');

Brandon is correct - EE does not like a hash in a redirect URL.

Instead, try using flash data for this.

$this->EE->session->set_flashdata('selected-tab', 'settings');
$this->EE->functions->redirect(BASE . AMP . 'C=addons_modules' . AMP . 'M=show_module_cp' . AMP . 'module=module_name_here');

Then, in your module code:

if($tab = ee()->session->flashdata('selected-tab') && $tab == 'settings')
{
    // Add something here to your markup so that your JS will select the tab you want
}
