How to Redirect Specific Users to Specific Pages
Follow up:
**Make sure you back up all files involved before proceeding**
1.) Open file: /administrator/components/com_users/users.xml
Add this:
param name="login" type="text" default="" label="Login Redirection URL" description="What page will the login redirect to after user login, if let blank will load module default" /&rt
<param name="logout" type="text" default="" label="Logout Redirection URL" description="What page will the login redirect to after user logout, if let blank will load module default" /
Save the file.
2.) Open file index.php
Around line #139 replace:
$mainframe->login();
With this:
$mainframe->login();
// Per User Redirection
$temp_my = $mainframe->getUser();
$params = new mosParameters( $temp_my->params );
$userRedirect = $params->get( 'login', '' );
if ($userRedirect) {
$return = sefRelToAbs( $userRedirect );
}
$temp_my = '';
3.) Around line #168 replace this:
$mainframe->logout();
With this:
// Per User Redirection
$temp_my = $mainframe->getUser();
$params = new mosParameters( $temp_my->params );
$userRedirect = $params->get( 'logout', '' );
if ($userRedirect) {
$return = sefRelToAbs( $userRedirect );
}
$temp_my = '';$mainframe->logout();
Save the File.
And you're done!
Now you can login to the Administrator end and set the individual redirects in the user manager.
Warning:
If you don't want the frontend users to be able to edit these redirects then you need to set the Frontend User Params: to NO in your Global Configuration.
**Keep in mind that if you make these changes you are editing the core files and any upgrades to Joomla in the future may not be compatible**

And Ninja Redirect can be used in some situations.
Good tut Matt!
Only controller.php, users.class.php and users.php. Can you help me out?
Thanks
CB Login mudule only specifies one single log in redirect.. no way to redirect individual users to different pages..
Thanks!
Iam using 1.5.9 and hope that this hack will come for this version also.
