Virtuemart has its own set of shopper groups. These control important things such as pricing for products. Now, thanks to the VM Shopper Group Login Redirect component from CorFun, your shopper groups can also control what pages your shoppers/users see when they login to your site!

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!

CorFun, Inc. has been making extensive use of the K2 Joomla component in our client projects for all kinds of things from catalogs to blogs to community sites. One of K2's greatest strengths is the ability to assign users to customizable User Groups. This is a great capability, but did have one limitation. When users log in, it is often desired to route them to specific pages based on their User Groups.

You have a Website that specializes in local news. You have pages dedicated to various cities, replete with news, advertising, and all kinds of goodies for people who live in that area. You want visitors to your site to make it to their pages and get the best information for them.

How do you route them there in a Joomla environment? Easy - you have them register for your site using Community Builder, pick their city from a dropdown box, and then login! Assuming, of course, that you have the Login Redirect for Community Builder Component from CorFun. This new component allows Webmasters to map specific entries in a CB profile field to different URLs. When a user logs in, he or she goes directly to the page you feel is most relevant based on their profile!
