On a default search page, I have a login javascript that switches to a different search page after a successful login. However, if a user has already performed a search, I want that search string to carry over to the logged in page. In other words, how do I save my search string from one page to the next? Here is the current version of the script:

function customJavaScript() {
    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        checkLogin();
    });
}
function checkLogin() { 
    if(com_sirsi_ent_login.isLoggedIn!==false) { 
        window.location.assign("/client/employee/search/results?te=ILS&dt=list"); 
    } 
}

You could save the search string in localStorage or a Cookie, then load it upon successful login. Here's a great breakdown of the difference between the two.

  • But if I want to change my logged-in page url from, say, this [http://myserver/client/default/search/results?qu=radar&te=ILS] to this [http://myserver/client/employee/search/results?qu=radar&te=ILS] can I really do that with a cookie? Could I use a regex to simply replace "default" with "employee"? – Thomas Shepard May 04 '15 at 16:31
  • Yeah. If, for example you wanted to use localStorage, just do this when they perform a search: `localStorage.setItem("query", $("#queryInput").val());`, then once they log in, you can get their last query using: `localStorage.getItem("query");`. – kneeki May 04 '15 at 16:46

You could use local storage. It's similar to Cookies, you save your stuff locally in the Browser. The storage is accessible for all pages on the domain.
