Hi, does anyone know of a way to redirect a user to a specific page based on their group after logging in?

I have been using the community builder cbloginrc2 module, which you can set a url for everyone to redirect to, but I now need to redirect members to different pages after they login based on what group they are registered under. I use JACLPlus, so I have many levels of groups, not just the default 3.

Example:

All members of group ExampleGroup1 will be redirected to this url upon login: (Group1Homepage.php)
All members of group ExampleGroup2 will be redirected to this url upon login: (Group2Homepage.php)

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks!

I guess this is not possible?

No, but it could be done with a plugin. Just send a redirect header during the onlogin function and exit then.

Do you happen to know where the onlogin function is? I cannot seem to find it.


Thanks!

Rather than handle it by group, it might be nice to have a general purpose plug in that lets a user specify their log in page. Then they can copy and paste any URL they want, be it their own profile or some section or category news page or whatever. Let the user make themselves happy.

That would not be a bad idea for a plugin, but in my situation, the content is group specific. The content for each group is only viewable by that group.

Each group has their own secure section that no other group can view, and I need to take each group member to their main page when they login.

What I am thinking about doing is adding a field to the cb user table in the database called loginURL or something and having the login script take the user to that page upon login, or to the default page if that field is blank.
