[solved] Groups within FEU and customContent, and secure pages

[lampsie]

Hi,

I'm trying to see if there is a nice streamlined way to do this:

In FEU I have set up a number of 'groups'...what I want to acheive is that when a user logs in, the login box will check which group the user belongs to, and then redirect them to a particular page on the site.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks,
lamps

With an UDT and the eventmanager it should be possible.
Since i don't know what parameters the FEU Module is passing to the eventmanager if a user logs in (maybe Calguy can tell you) i would do a test first.
Try this:

Create a UDT called "test".
Insert this Code:

Code: Select all

echo '<pre>';
print_r($params);
echo '</pre>';

Subscribe this UDT to the FEU login event ("Extensions->Eventmanager").
Login to your frontend and view the result.
There might be something like Array( index => value ).

If there is the groupid or groupname you can try this UDT (example - it won't work yet):

Code: Select all

    global $gCms;
    $manager =& $gCms->GetHierarchyManager();

    $page_alias = "home";

    switch($params['group']) {

        case "Group A": $page_alias = "group_a";
        case "Group B": $page_alias = "group_b";
        case "Group C": $page_alias = "group_c";
        ...
    }

    $node =& $manager->sureGetNodeByAlias($page_alias);
    $content =& $node->GetContent();
    if (isset($content) && is_object($content))
       {
         if ($content->GetURL() != '')
         {
            redirect($content->GetURL());
         }
       }
    else return '<!-- redirect udt - page not found: '.$page_alias.' -->';

Hi,

Maybe you can do that with one, or both, of these UDT ?

this is a default feature of FEU.  Check the Preferences tab.  You can redirect based on username or usergroup

Hi all,

Thank you all for the replies, each useful in their own way for other stuff I'm doing too! As I go into preferences, I can see now where to do this (enter "{group}" into the login redirect)...as it happens, all my users are only in one group, so this works well for me

Thanks,
