Return to restricted page with anchor ID?

Return to restricted page with anchor ID?

Hello all,
I have a restricted page (myrestrictedpage.php) with an anchor ID (myanchor) in it.

If the user tries to get to this page without logging first, he will be redirected to the login page (ok).
Once he logs in, he will be redirected to myrestrictedpage.php (ok).

But I would like the user to go to this link: myrestrictedpage.php#myanchor after succesfull login.(KO)

The anchor is not honored and the user is redirected to the top of myrestrictedpage.php.
How can I make the redirect to work the way I need and redirect the user to the anchor?
TIA
Tony

The issue is that the redirect and storage of the page to go to is saved on the server, and the hash from the anchor is never passed to the server since it is a client-side concept.

There is no easy solution to this. You could do something where the page is allowed to load without content and save the hash with javascript before forwarding it to the checkout page. If you know the page you want the anchor added on and you always want to use the same anchor, then you could hard code it.

This is probably a better topic for a premier support ticket if you need it, since the implementation could be tricky.

Thanks for your reply, Ray.
If it could be tricky for you it has to be impossible to do for me ;).
Any way, I solved it just creating a new page and using his url instead of the anchor.
Not so elegant, but it works.
Thanks.
