How do you change the "redirect" for your_account

When a user logs into the site, they are sent to:

/modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=test_reg

But I would like them sent to the home page. Looking through the Your_account module, I see that it checks a variable called "$redirect" and if blank, it sends them there. My question is, where do I set this variable normally? Haven't been able to come across it yet.

and yes I know I could "force" it to be something in the module, but the variable is there for a reason Wink

well if your point is to redirect them to another page i suggest you take out the variable in your account only and replace with any prefered url/link.
if im not mistaken the variable $redirect shows up 6 or 7 times in nuke.
changing it all wouldnt be a good idea.

Actually, I am looking for where it gets SET for your_account. Is there a admin knob somewhere?

well its not realy set anywhere.
when you search nuke $redirect it willl pop up in 7 files ,all of them are related to the forum and posting.
and it apears in index.php of the your account.
but i couldnt find where its defined..

No it doesn't get set unless a specific script sets it

If your login sets the redirect variable, then it will do this.

If you just want to change the initial redirect, change the line

Code:




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

So basically it is there for us to "use", but is not used anywhere by default... Interesting..

Yeah, I already changed the code, but wondered if there was a more graceful way via config.
