Greetings, I have tested it on a local box. So first let's be specific. Did you successfully install login redirect for CB on your local server? Is Community Builder installed there as well under the same Joomla Install? Is the failure in the backend when setting up Login Redirect or in the front end when the routine should occur?

Thanks,

Olan

Hi!
the component installs himself ok, but when I want to configure it, I see only 1 field: "select one"
Thanks

Hello,

Once it is installed you access it by going to Components in the back-end and select Login Redirect CB. You will see a select box that is prepopulated with all Community Builder fields that are defined as select fields. Typically fields such as state or zip code.

Do you have select fields defined in community builder? These will cause a drop down. Fields pre-defined to CB are not select fields unless the field type has been changed. A select field will force the registrant to select from a preset list thus giving a finite value.

The field to use (must be a select list) is chosen when you first enter the component.

The problem is that to direct a login, we have to tie a specific value to a specific URL. If you have a multi-select option like checkboxes, that can't work. The code becomes too complex. If I check 'Music' and 'Arts' as my interests, then how what page do I get when I log in? You would end up having to go through permutations to set up pages for various combinations.

That is way too complicated for any normal usage.

The system is designed for a single select item. You pick each value and assign each value to a URL. After all, a user can only login once and will only see one page after logging in.
