Login Redirect for Joomla

The native login module for Joomla along with custom login modules (such as the one from Community Builder) have long allowed webmasters to specify a single page or URL to show when a user logs in. That is very helpful to route users, for example, to their profiles or to a page of the latest news or a list of the latest offers. 

For many sites, that functionality is just fine. Often, however, Webmasters find they need to display a different 'welcome' screen for Registered users, versus Authors, versus Editors, versus Publishers, etc. Then the native login module functionality can get somewhat restrictive. 

If you run a membership-based site, using Account Expiration Component (AEC) and JACLPLus for example, the problem is even more pronounced. You can sell a user a membership using AEC and assign that user to a specific User Group created via JACLPlus. However, the login module will show all users the same screen on logging in. Webmasters often need to get specific information to specific User Groups.  Suppose Free Membership users should go to a screen encouraging them to upgrade, while Platinum-level users should go straight to a page full of goodies just for them? The native functionality of Joomla simply doesn't allow this to happen!

CorFun has now solved this problem, and expanded the options open to Webmasters for showing custom information at login for different User Groups. The CorFun Login Redirect Component allows you to set up one URL in the Login Module leading to the Login Redirect Component. The Component then sends the user to the correct login URL (page) at log in.

 LoginRedirect now works with Juga! That right.  Place Juga in the first security group slot. Then simply enter the group number and the redirect page that is associated with the group and you are done. 

The Component is very simple to configure and has the following features:

• Define a default login URL (page) to display for any User Group (class) for which a specific URL is not defined.
• Define up to 10 different URLs (pages) to display to different groups (classes) of users at login.
• Works with native Joomla ACL (Registered, Author, etc.) and works with any component, such as JACLPlus, which creates custom user groups (classes) using the core Joomla functionality. Login redirect does not work for components other than JUGA which create external ACL.   However, if you have a specific need we can enhance the software. If you have a questions about the compatibility of a component, then please ask before you buy Login Redirect.
• Easy to set up as you only define the User Class name and the URL.
• Can work to redirect users to any URL, including a completely different Websites, a specific  Joomla page, or a specific Joomla component! Anything reached via a URL on any Website can be used as a redirect.
• Works with any Joomla login module (native Joomla login, CB Login, Signal Login, etc.) or component that has a Login URL feature!
• Works with or without Community Builder!
• Makes a great compliment to any site with different user groups.

Here is a screen capture of the set up screen in the administrator area that shows how easy the set up and configuration of the Component are.

The Webmaster simply inputs the name of the User Group (class) and defines the URL to direct users of that class to the specified URL when they log in. The component supports up to 10 custom user groups with unique login URLs. 

The Login Redirect component can work, as shown, with the native Joomla user groups, and can also work with the custom user groups provided by components such as JACLPlus.

The Login Redirect component gives you a simple and easy way to control what your users see when they log in to your site. Use it to get the right news, marketing pitches, and content to the right groups of users! 

Especially since this component works with any login module, with or without Community Builder, it is a must-have for a large number of sites which need specific information to be provided to specific user groups on login.
