Magento 1.9 Redirect – How to Redirect All Frontend Pages to Admin

adminadminhtmlmagento-1.9

I want to "disable" frontend in Magento and use only admin interface. So every non-admin page should be redirect to /admin (/admin/dashboard)

I can't find way to do it.

In this case,you need use controller_action_predispatch event on

on this event you need redirection to admin url.

using below code:

       $url=   Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl('adminhtml/index/login');

           Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()
                      ->setRedirect($url)
                                ->sendResponse();

condition: Current store is admin .Check by code: if Mage::app()->getStore()->isAdmin()

Config.xml code:

<global>
...
  <models>
    <magento85915>
      <class>StackOverflow_Magento85915_Model</class>
    </magento85915>
  </models>
    <events>
    <controller_action_predispatch> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <controller_action_predispatch_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>model</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>magento85915/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>adminRedirection</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
          </controller_action_predispatch_handler>
        </observers>
      </controller_action_predispatch>
    </events>
  </global>

observer code:

<?php
class StackOverflow_Magento85915_Model_Observer
{

          public function adminRedirection(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
          {
              $controller_action= $observer->getEvent()->getControllerAction();
              $request=$controller_action->getRequest();

              // redirection fire when current store is not aadmin
              if (!Mage::app()->getStore()->isAdmin()):
              // Get admin log page url
               $url=   Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl('adminhtml/index/login');
              /* forcefull redirection  to admin login page */
                   Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()
                              ->setRedirect($url)
                                        ->sendResponse();
                        exit;
                  endif;
              return true;
        }

Magento 1 Admin and Frontend Route Disabling Guide

I don't think there is a way to do this without removing the routers tag from the config.xml or adding some observers on the predispatch event that will redirect you to a 404 page.
But I may be wrong. In case I'm wrong here is a place to start.
The routers section of the config.xml files is parsed in Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Router_Standard::collectRoutes.
From what I saw in there, there is no check for a disabled flag or something like that.
There might be a chance if the the module does not use the admin path for backend pages.
So if the router is not declared like this:

    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <Module_Name before="Mage_Adminhtml">Module_Name_Adminhtml</Module_Name>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>

but uses the other way of declaring routers:

    <routers>
        <module_name>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <module>Module_Name</module>
                <frontName>route_name</frontName>
            </args>
        </module_name>
    </routers>

You can create a module and just change the <use> tag value to something that's not admin or standard.

So your new module that depends on the original one can have the routers section like this:

<routers>
    <module_name>
        <use>go-away</use>
    </module_name>
</routers>

Why I thing it could work? because in the method mentioned above the only if with no else that could return false is if ($use == $useRouterName).
This is just an assumption. I haven't tested it. I don't have any extensions that use this type of routers for backend.

Magento – Redirect to previous URL after admin login

As all the comments stated before, its not out of the box. Here are some hints on where/what you may need to adjust:

Mage_Admin_Model_User

public function getStartupPageUrl()
    {
        $startupPage = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_STARTUP_PAGE);
        $aclResource = 'admin/' . $startupPage;
        if (Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isAllowed($aclResource)) {
            $nodePath = 'menu/' . join('/children/', explode('/', $startupPage)) . '/action';
            $url = (string)Mage::getSingleton('admin/config')->getAdminhtmlConfig()->getNode($nodePath);
            if ($url) {
                return $url;
            }
        }
        return $this->findFirstAvailableMenu();
    }

I have never tried it but this seems to be the method called from

Mage_Adminhtml_IndexController

and there is the IndexAction that calls the above function. Since this is the admin, doing a rewrite of the Model will probably be easier.

/**
 * Admin area entry point
 * Always redirects to the startup page url
 */
public function indexAction()
{
    $session = Mage::getSingleton('admin/session');
    $url = $session->getUser()->getStartupPageUrl();
    if ($session->isFirstPageAfterLogin()) {
        // retain the "first page after login" value in session (before redirect)
        $session->setIsFirstPageAfterLogin(true);
    }
    $this->_redirect($url);
}

So, modifying getStartupPageUrl() to have your URL seems very likely the best place to try this.

This is all theoretical, I have not tried it yet, but if you need a sample module, I can certainly run through this and provide it.

If every admin user will end up on the same page, its pretty easy to do, if there is some dynamic elements, it will be a bit harder to facilitate. Good Luck!
