Question Login alteration

hello i have installed kunena...

all is nice except for one thing,

When a user logs in from Kunenas login module it REDIRECTS him to the front PAGE. So the user has to click on the forum link to get to the forum again ....

IS THERE A WAY the [LOGIN] button can generate this code

Code:
ixtus.dyndns.org/index.html/index.php?op...n&Itemid=207&lang=el


INSTEAD OF

Code:
ixtus.dyndns.org/index.html/index.php?op...r&view=login&lang=el


i think its a php issue

1)which php file do edit

/var/www/joomla/components/com_kunena/templat...lt/plugin/profilebox$ ls profilebox.php
profilebox.php ?


2)What part of code do i edit to get it generate the right link, so when a user logs in it redirects him to the forum and notthe front page


thankyou C.M

Yes, that is the file. Try to look user contributions as there are existing fix for this one.

I`ve been trying to do this for weeks (I first posted here www.kunena.com/forum?func=view&catid=4&id=3203 -over 3 pages of replies, not a single solution - just people with the same problem) since that time I have found lots of people posting with the problem in other threads, but i have not come across a solution - could you please link to a thread that shows how to have the login redirect back to the forum instead of the front page?

If there is such a solution, why is it not used here?
Everytime I come here it is so frustrating, if I forget to login before i go to the forum, I search for something, then when I want to reply I have to login, and am sent back to the front page and have to start my search all over again!

This is the only thing about this component which I don`t like, every other aspect is awesome

Firstly I need to say that I haven't any familiarity with the Kunena login module - I don't even know how to install or enable it - and so I'm mystified as to its reference in this discussion (and the earlier one). This confusion might explain why a solution hasn't been forthcoming earlier.

If, however, we're discussing how to modify the standard Joomla [mod_login] module then the following screenshot shows you which area you need to modify if, for example, you want to redirect your users to the forum part of your site:


If, however, you're using the Community Builder login module [mod_cblogin] instead, then this screenshot may be more relevant:


I hope that information helps.

My solution:

1. You need a login-modul with horizontal style, e.g. YOOlogin, that's nice looking with good options.
edit:
a bit strange ...
- yoologin v1.5.9 redirects you to frontpage
- with yoologin v1.5.5 you stay in Kunena


2. install the modul

3. modul-config
Show Title: No
Enabled: Yes
Position: kunena_profilebox (copy&paste in the field)

You can control the look via options on the right side.
Style: Default, Nifty Default = vertical
Style: Quick, Nifty Quick = horizontal

Login Redirection URL = leave as it is
Logout Redirection URL = leave as it is
Greeting: Yes
Username/Password in...: Input
... try the other options and fit it to your needs.

-> save

Now you have to remove the Kunena-Login.

open: components/com_kunena/template/default/plugin/profilebox.php

search: replace:
search: replace:
search: replace:

Now your Forum-Home may look like this:


If a guest comes to your forum and looks into categories/forums/threads - and decide to login - he stay on that categorie/forum/thread he viewed before.

thanks for your help. - that yoologin looks very nice.

for some reason, when I left the redirect url option open it to sent me to 'mysite/index.php?option=com_user' after login, but when I filled in the redirect option to'/nature-news/forum' it keeps me on the forum when I login.

(sends me back to the forum index, but at least I`m still in the forum)

any idea why I was sent to '/index.php?option=com_user' when I left the redirect open?

at line 207 I found this
' $loginlink = sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_user&view=login');'

Should I change that to something else?
(I tried deleting everything between '' , but it seemed to have no effect)

I think that's because you're using a sef-component.
edit:
which yoologin version you use?
-> please read my edit in post above.

Yes I am using sef - also I had uploaded the most recent yoo login, so that may be the issue as well, I`m not able to access the site right now, I will try uploading the older yoo login tomorrow, and see if that makes a difference.

Does anyone have a copy of Yoologin 1.5.5? The Yoothemes website doesn't seem to offer older versions. I also am trying to make my login module keep people on the page that you login at. I don't want it to redirect anywhere... I just want it to keep them on the current page.

If someone has the older version of Yoologin can you post it here or email it to me at:

Thanks!

I would also really like a copy of Yoologin 1.5.5 to see if it works on my forum, if someone could post it here I would really appreciate it.
