redirect to home page after login, rather than to member.php

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to redirect the user automatically back to the home page rather than the default member.php page. Thanks.

David

Exactly how do you do this?

Is this done in the login.php file or in site config. And if it is done in the login.php file exactly here would you enter this?

If logging in via login.php, the member is redirected to the product URL set in the product. If using multiple products, they may be sent to the members page.
You can hardcode the login.html to force it to go to a specified page.

Add this:

<input type="hidden" name="amember_redirect_url" value="/yournewurl" />


David

Along the same lines.....

How can you redirect it to the page they logged in from? I have a log in box on each of several pages.

Thanks,
Rod

<input type="hidden" name="amember_redirect_url" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>

David

Where exactly should I place that code and does it replace another line of code. I tried a few different things and it always takes me to member.php after logging in on the redirect.

Thanks,
Rod

Do you mean edit the login.html page or edit the login script on my php pages?
All my pages are in php. Exactly where would it go in the code?

I am using this line of code on my php pages:

Code:

<?php
if ($au=$_SESSION['_amember_user']){ // user is logged-in
print "Hello $au[name_f] $au[name_l]!<br /><br />";
print "<a href='/amember/logout.php'>Logout</a>";
} else { // user is not logged-in
print "<form method=post action='/amember/login.php'>
Username: <input style='border: 1px solid #006;' type=text name=amember_login size=10><br>
Password: <input style='border: 1px solid #006;' type=password name=amember_pass size=10><br>
<input style='background-color: #d44c07; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: white;' type=submit value='Login'>
</form>";
}
?>

Where do I place the above line to redirect it to the page it was logged in from?

Rod

Place it after the password box:

Password: <input style='border: 1px solid #006;' type=password name=amember_pass size=10><br>
<input type="hidden" name="amember_redirect_url" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>

David

OK....I must be a complete idiot. I placed the line of code where you stated and I get this error:

Is it because I am trying to add a php command ie the echo$_Server part while it is already in a php code statement (the else part) I am fairly new to php programming. Sorry for the repeated questions.

Rod

THANKS......works like a charm!!

I also would like to have members redirected to the home page but this thread has left me confused about which file is being edited to do the redirect.

Can you direct me to the correct file and directory please. My login.php file looks like this:

<?php
/*
* Members page, used to login. If user have only
* one active subscription, redirect them to url
* elsewhere, redirect to member.php page
*
*
* Author: Alex Scott
* Email: alex@cgi-central.net
* Web: http://www.cgi-central.net
* Details: Member display page
* FileName $RCSfile$
* Release: 3.1.8PRO ($Revision: 3266 $)

I have tried to use these solutions on my own site but keep getting error messages.

Tried to put quick log in form in www/index.php (and no other code at all) & either get
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/website/public_html/index.php on line 1
or
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/website/public_html/index.php on line 1

amember is in www/amember
and the product is in www/anotherdirectory

Help please, thanks!

Did you jusy copy the amember index.php to the directory
/public_html/index.php
This wont work.

Heres how to do it:

I copied this directly from earlier posts: In www.index.php I have

PHP:

if ($au=$_SESSION['_amember_user']){ // user is logged-in
print "Hello $au[name_f] $au[name_l]!<br /><br />";
print "<a href='/amember/logout.php'>Logout</a>";
} else { // user is not logged-in
print "<form method=post action='/amember/login.php'>";
print "<input type='hidden' name='amember_redirect_url' value='".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']."'/>";
print "Username: <input style='border: 1px solid #006;' type=text name=amember_login size=10><br>";
print "Password: <input style='border: 1px solid #006;' type=password name=amember_pass size=10><br>";
print "<input style='background-color: #d44c07; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: white;' type=submit value='Login'>";
print "</form>";
}

I did wonder if

PHP:

if ($au=$_SESSION['_amember_user'])

should be

PHP:

if ($au==$_SESSION['_amember_user'])

but that didn't help.
