Is it possible to redirect after user login to a page like this:

/content/view/full/{$UserID}

I would like that every user, after it loogs in is redirected to his "homepage", the page with his user data.

I know it can be specified with:

<input type="hidden" name="RedirectURI" value="{$User:redirect_uri|wash}" />

but it seems that in this way I cannot redirect to user's details page.

Redirecting is possible, but if this will work depends where are your users folders placed. If user folder is placed in e.g content structure and it is availalbe for currently logged in user, then use main_node.node_id or main_node.url_alias and redirect after login using RedirectURI field.

If I undesrtood you correctly I should use:

<input type="hidden" name="RedirectURI" value="{$User:main_node.url_alias|wash}" />

Is that correct?

Hi Marko

I'm not sure you will be able to do this using RedirectURI. You would need to put the hidden RedirectURI form element into the login form. As you cannot know who the user will be <b>before</b> they login it is not possible to redirect them to a page specific to that user using this method.

It does appear that you will be able to do what you require in 3.8. Seehttp://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.8/advanced_redirection_after_user_login.txt

HTH

Thx Bruce, this is exactly what I tought it will be the problem. I just tought that eZ already has a mechanisim for doing such thing. It seems I'll have to wait... :)

While we're waiting for the 3.8 version I came up with a quick fix for this:

Redirect user after login to a node with special template override in which I fetch the current user, and call the template that displays it's homepage. Should work just fine.

A little bit late, but ...

Bruce has right. Regarding to your idea:
Create dummy node, and put in template redirectoperator (check contrib section).

In login.tpl put

<input type="hidden" name="RedirectURI" value="/dummy_node" />

this will redirect user to dummy_node. In tpl for that dummy_node you can check user object and redirect to folder.

Yes Lukasz, that's exactly what I had in mind.

Hi Lukasz

A great solution! Love "smoke & mirrors"!

On the redirect after login in 3.8, is there a reason that hooks for workflow triggers were not added to the user module to achieve this?

It would be a much more flexible solution, allowing for any type of redirection code to be added, and many other opportunities for login restrictions (logging of logins, time based restrictions, ip based restrictions, etc)

Cheers
