Auto-direct to index.php (home)

OK, I tried searching but can't find anything on how or if its even possible to auto-direct a user to the index.php page (or website's homepage) afther they've logged in.

You may want to know why, its embarrassing to explain BUT in fact I made a website using RNv2.10.01 for some old folks who are not that net-savvy. I noticed that (after lots of guidance) they are finally able to register and log-in but then I noticed that they just hang there on the "Your Accounts" page.

It would be nice if they get auto-directed to "Home" after say a couple of seconds.

Of course the challenge now is how to prevent it doing the same when they actually WANT to view their "Your Account" page! Perhaps to answer is auto-direct the first time only?

Any suggestions please? Is this possible to do?

Open index.php in html/modules/Your_Account/

Around about line 1074 find:

Code:

if (empty($redirect)) {


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

and change to:

Code:

if (empty($redirect)) {


Header('Location: index.php');

Hi jakec, many thanks but wouldn't that mod mean that one can never go to the Your Account page anymore?

I'll try it now anyway and let you know.

No, it should only redirect when they login. You will notice it is under the function 'login'.
