Page redirection after login? Hopefully a very simple question.

Post by boing »

I've just starting using CMSMS and I'd like to thank the developers for their efforts, its an excellent piece of software. I have a couple of perhaps simple questions that I was wondering you could help me with.

I have some very non tech savvy people (pensioners) who will be editing content for my site. I've cut down the permissions for these users so the default admin pages they see are only 'CMS', 'Content' and 'My Preferences'. The problem is that I still think its too complicated for these people.

The site will be partioned such that one user will edit and write content for each page. There are only 10 or so pages in total. Ideally I would like a situation where users could click an 'admin' link from the front page and it brings up the following:

Page1: Edit Content Edit News
Page2: Efit Content Edit News
Page3: Edit Content Edit News
Page4: Efit Content Edit News

etc etc.

The idea here is that the owner of Page1 can click the 'edit content' link, login, and then be taken straight to the edit page of Page1. After they make their changes and click submit it would be great if they were taken back to the 'admin' link as described above. They should also be able to do the same for the 'edit news' link (I am using a single news module with multiple categories which I think will work for this purpose).

So I guess my question is about redirection? I tried creating a link directly to the edit page, but after login it just brings up the standard admin interface.

As a secondary feature, if I can have the user automatically be brought back to view the page they've just been editing after having submitted their edits that would be great.

I noticed the FrontEndUsers module, would that help with this problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
