Is it possible to skip Your_Account after logon?

New Member Joined: Mar 20, 2006 Posts: 4

I'd like to let the users of one of my sites be able to login using the block on the home page, and then return directly to the home page instead of the Your_Account module.

I'd still like the Your_Account module to be activated so they can go there if they need to.

Is this possible, and how would I go about doing it?

Thank you in advance Smile

Thanks Raven.

I just tried that, but I don't think I got it right. I'm using the default User_List block included in the core Raven76 distro, and have disabled the Login block. Here are the lines that I found and experimented with:

Edited by Raven as the code I advised was during a Blonde Moment

The second of those two was in part of an IF/ELSE block that I didn't want to paste over here. I replaced the "account.html\" with "index.php\" but I still couldn't get it to work. I apologize for my newbness Wink

User_List? I think you mean User_Info. It would help, in the future, if you state what block/module you are working with Wink

And yet another Blonde Moment

I did mean User_Info, sorry it was getting late.

I still can't get it to work, when I made that change it stayed at the homepage but didn't appear to actually log me in. Hitting submit just cleared the fields and kept me as anonymous.

Thanks for your help, I think I'm just gonna leave it at default for now.

DUH! That's my fault. That's what I get for hurrying to answer something Laughing

It has to be done from Your_Account/index.php, not the block code. I'll try to remember to take a look later and post back if no one else does. ITMT, I am removing or editing my other responses as they are wrong.

I got it here Wink

open modules/Your_Account/index.php
find in "function login"

Code:

if (empty($redirect)) {


        Header("Location: modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=$username");

Change to:

Code:

if (empty($redirect)) {


        Header("Location: index.php");

Thank you both.
