Front End User - redirect after login

[johnboyuk1]

Hi. I'm sure this must have been covered somewhere but I cant find anything...

How do I redirect to a page after login? Default set up is for FEU to stay on the same page and just replace the login form with a 'login successful' message. What I need to do is redirect to a protected page...

The help file gives this as an example:

Code: Select all

{if !empty($final_message)}
    {cms_selflink href='members' assign='members_page_url'}
    {redirect_url to=$members_page_url}
{else}
something else
{/if}

I cant get this to work though?! I'm assuming it goes in the page template - I've put under the {FrontEndUsers} tag in my page template

This must be something simple ... please help me

Thanks!

I think you should put that logic in the assets/module_custom/FrontEndUsers/templates/orig_loginform.tpl

If that folder and file don't exist yet create the folder structure and copy the orig_loginform.tpl file from /modules/FrontEndUsers/templates/orig_loginform.tpl

Thanks Velden - I will take a look

If anyone can advise a way of doing within page template that would be good

Velden's suggestion is probably best, but if you need it in the page template you can always change the {if} part to check for something that's available to it, something like (not tested):

Code: Select all

{$uid=feu_smarty::get_current_userid()}
{if $uid > 0}
  {redirect_page page='your-page-alias'}
{/if}

Cool thanks - will look at that

ok, I've tried placing the following code (taken from the help file)

Code: Select all

in the login form.tpl as a test

Code: Select all

    {if !empty($final_message)}
    I'm going to redirect you
{else}
Error
{/if}

However ... it doesnt seem to work - I get the else statement run ie the word 'error' displays after logging in

So I tried

Code: Select all

    {if !empty($user_info->id > 0)}
    I'm going to redirect you
{else}
Error
{/if}

which does seem to work. I'm not sure why the method from the help file doest work... is there any reason I cant use my modified method above? And if not, then posting this in case its useful to someone else!

I'd consider changing (and testing):

Code: Select all

{if !empty($user_info->id > 0)}

into:

Code: Select all

{if $user_info->id > 0)}

Alternatively:

Code: Select all

{if !empty($user_info) && $user_info->id > 0)}
