Question Where to add,change redirect url after login?

Hi,

I can't find where can i change url after i have logged in, for example, it redirects as default to my main page of the web site, I simply want to see my forum after i log in, coz it does look confusing in my situation.

I am using the newest Kunena forum version!

Cheers

Hi,

such a redirect is controlled by the login module. Whatever module you use is responsible for that. In out case kunena.com is running jomsocial and we set jomsocial's login redirect to the forum home page.

You won't find a setting inside of Kunena for this as we are just the component that get redirected to, but we are currently not in control of the login and what comes next.

Hope this helps!

It is not directly related, but does any of you know if the Joomla login can take a destination-url as parameter (for redirecting)?

Im thinking something like: http://localhost/joomla/login.php?wanted_url=http://localhost/joomla/index.php?option=com_kunena

The standard Joomla login module (mod_login) has two parameter settings "Login Redirection Page" and "Logout Redirection Page". Does that answer your question, LittleJohn?

Actually, no.

The parameters you mention is module-specific. I was thinking of parameters that could be supplied from anywhere else.

Like, I have a link on xxx.com to a loginpage at zzz.com, but I want the user to be redirected to yyy.com after login.
(replace xxx/zzz/yyy with subdomains or other pages on a single domain).

Better example:
I have a christmas page named xxx.com/xmas/.
In there I make a link in an article named "Login to participate in our contests". Then I would the login feature to redirect the user to xmas.xxx.com/contest/ after successfull login.
The easiest way to do so, I think would be to supply the login page with a url it should redirect to.
