User Group Login Redirect Home Page lets Webmasters send users to their own unique home pages when they log in. The redirection is based on the User Group such as Registered, Author, Publisher, etc. The component also works with JUGA, JACLPlus, and some other common ACL extensions. Using this component, Webmasters can send users at log in to a page that has the most appropriate information for them. User Group Login Redirect Home Page works with most login modules such as the basic Joomla Login Module and the CB Login Module. However, we recently discovered that the Virtuemart Login Module was coded in such a way that it would not work with our component. So we created our own version and have included it in our download package!

To enable login redirection, a Joomla login module has to direct to the User Group Login Redirect Home Page component. The component then reads the User Group of the user and directs to the appropriate page. The Virtuemart Login module in the base VM system did not allow for this. The module had only three options - redirect to the homepage of the site, the VM homepage, or the page the user logged in from. That was in. Quite limited compared to the normal login modules.

Many online stores could really use CorFun's User Group Login Redirect Home Page component to get different classes of shoppers to different pages for directed specials, information, or product types. However, many shops use the Virtuemart Login Module because of the download and account maintenance links. So CorFun solved this issue to help out our customers who develop Virtuemart shops. The new Virtuemart Login Module from CorFun includes a fourth option to redirect to the CorFun User Group Login Redirect Home Page component.

If you are planning to use User Group Login Redirect Home Page with Virtuemart, and you want to use the Virtuemart Login Module, just uninstall the base Virtuemart Login module and install the new one from CorFun included in the User Group Login Redirect Home Page download package. Set the CorFun Virtuemart Login Module to redirect to the User Group Login Redirect Home Page component, then set up the User Group Login Redirect Home Page component as directed in the documentation.
