EE Stash not passing to new page

Question

I’ve seen an example almost identical to what I’m trying to attempt here: How to get attempted url before access restriction? However, my templates don’t see to want to cooperate: Template 1:

    {if logged_in}
     {embed="myfig/upload-view"}
    {if:else}
     {exp:stash:set name="login_form_return" scope="user" save="yes"}{segment_2}    {/exp:stash:set}
    {redirect="/myfig/"}
    {/if} 

Template 2:

Stash: {exp:stash:get name="login_form_return"}


{if '{exp:stash:get name="login_form_return"}'}
     Proof Manager
     {if:else}
     Something else
     {/if}

 {exp:zoo_visitor:login_form 
 error_handling="inline"
  }

 {if '{exp:stash:get name="login_form_return"}' =="myfig/proofmanager"}
 <input type="hidden" name="RET" value='myfig/proofmanager' />
 {if:else}
 <input type="hidden" name="RET" value="/myfig/dashboard/" />

 {/if} 

Nothing returns on my GET attempt. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This will most likely be to do with parse order. EE templates get processed in layers rather than top to bottom and you're using a complex conditional. To move it up the parse order try this:

{if logged_in}
    {embed="myfig/upload-view"}
{/if}
{if logged_out}
    {exp:stash:set name="login_form_return" scope="user" save="yes"}{segment_2}    {/exp:stash:set}
    {redirect="/myfig/"}
{/if}

This converts it to a simple conditional and may very well solve the issue.

The redirects were killing the session. I had to try a different method of embedding a login form in the template I was in instead of redirecting
