In my Laravel application I have a registration system that uses the default scaffolding created via php artisan make:auth to register new users, but after logging in I wanted to take the user to another page called member-type so that they can select what type of member they'd like to be.

I utilitized protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user) which comes from AuthenticatesUsers to check that a user has successfully logged in, I then check whether a member type is set.

The method looks like this:

/**

 * The user has been authenticated.

 *

 * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request

 * @param  mixed  $user

 * @return mixed

 */

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)

{

    Log::info("{$user->log_reference} logged in to their account with IP: {$request->getClientIp()}");



    if(!$user->investor_type_selected){

        // dd('I NOT SELECTED');

        return redirect()->route('user.investor-type');

    } elseif(!$user->member_type_selected){

        dd('M NOT SELECTED');

        return redirect()->route('user.member-type');

    } else{

        dd('BOTH SELECTED');

        return redirect()->route('user.dashboard');

    }

}

The methods member_type_selected andinvestor_type_selectedcome from myUser` model and they look like this:

/**

 * Check whether this user has selected an investor type

 */

public function getInvestorTypeSelectedAttribute()

{

    return !empty($this->investor_type) ? true : false;

}



/**

 * Check whether this user has selected an investor type

 */

public function getMemberTypeSelectedAttribute()

{

    return !empty($this->member_type) ? true : false;

}

Pretty simple stuff.

The dump and die was there to test whether the statements were executing.

Anyway, the issue I have is with the Middleware RedirectIfAuthenticated which looks like this as I'm using a custom guard:

/**

 * Handle an incoming request.

 *

 * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request

 * @param  Closure  $next

 * @param  string|null  $guard

 * @return mixed

 */

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)

{

    switch ($guard) {

        case 'admin':

            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

                return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');

            }

            break;

        default:

            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

                return redirect()->route('user.dashboard');

            }

            break;

    }

    return $next($request);

}

Now, as soon as a user is authenticated this kicks in and bypasses my redirects with authenticated. I need this Middleware generally to make sure users get back to their dashboard, but is there a way to prevent this bypassing my redirects?

no need to override authenticated function , try this in your RedirectIfAuthenticated middleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)

{

    switch ($guard) {

        case 'admin':

            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

                return redirect()->route('admin.dashboard');

            }

            break;

        default:

            if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {

               $user = Auth::guard($guard)->user();

                 if(!$user->investor_type_selected){

                  return redirect()->route('user.investor-type');

                } elseif(!$user->member_type_selected){

                  return redirect()->route('user.member-type');

                } else{

                  return redirect()->route('user.dashboard');

                }

            }

            break;

    }

    return $next($request);

}
