Login box with re-direct

Permalink
Not sure which forum this should be in so I am placing it here until redirected to a different forum. I have a website with a nav bar. When the employer tab is clicked, it opens a page with some verbiage and login box from marketplace. After entering UN & PW, I would like to redirect it to another page which contains a form. I can't find anyway to redirect after login. Always go to login to the website.

I noticed on older forum C5.3.1 that a redirect was going to be developed but can't seem to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Login to your site Dashboard, click on Users & Groups, click the last tap on the top called "Login & Registration". Update the sections titled "Where to send users on login?".

Hi Lucas,

Thanks so much for your help.

I have that correct but here's the deal. Outside of dashboard, someone comes to site>it's an employer and he clicks on employer> page opens with instructions and a login box. He can't just enter UN & PW or he is re-driected to site login page. So I checked "expose"clcik here to register". My understanding is that they can enter a unsername>email address>password. Now they are a registered user, correct. Now they are re-directed back to homepage. They then clcik employer again>enter their newly registered UN&PW and should be redirected to the custom page I configured. It doesn't work for me. Maybe I need to walk away & look at it again. I have messed with this for a long time today but to no avail.

Any ideas what I could have setup incorrect?

Thanks
Joe

Hi Again,

My bad. I had permissions setup incorrect and I had changed the page name. When I checked properties, I found that it was calling a page that was not there.

Thanks again for the help!

Hi All again,

Well I have some of it correct and might not have made myself clear. From the outside world people will surf the site. If an employer clicks on the employer tab, A page opens with instructions on how to sign up, login whatever you want to call it. There is the login box from marketplace. I am just trying to get them to login to the next page not to the site. I have set that page as where to send after registered. Is this login box capable of this? Do I just have setting wrong? Again I want them to login in on one page that takes them to another page that has a form to be submitted. That is all. Anyone understand what I am trying to say and maybe has some ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think I understand what you're saying. I'm not sure if I have a perfect solution for you, but if you're a designer or developer what you can do instead is customize the styling of the normal login page so that it looks like the rest of your site. Then just lock down that employees page to not be viewable by guests, and then when someone goes to that page who isn't logged in, they'll be redirected to the login page (which you've styled to look like your site), then after they log in they'll be sent back to the original page they wanted to visit (the employees page in this case). I think it works the same for registration as well, not just logins.

Here are some links to threads that explain how to customize the login page:

Hope that helps.
