We are using Simple Machines version 2.0.8 with Simple Portal.
When you login it takes you to the forum index.
LogInOut.php refers to the login_url variable.
We would like to direct it to the Simple Portal url page.
Where is the variable login_url set so we can change it?
From the ssi_login function for integration from outside.
This would be a question better asked either in the SimplePortal support topic, or over at their dedicated forums at http://www.simpleportal.net.
My guess is that you are using SimplePortal as a standalone page at http://www.example.com/, whereas your forum is located at http://www.example.com/forum/. This means that SMF will redirect you to itself at http://www.example.com/forum/ rather than the SimplePortal homepage. I'm sure this question has been asked before, so there is likely an answer for it which can be found by searching.
The forum is currently located at www.XXX./forum/index.php.
the index is at action=forum
When you login it takes you directly to action=forum. So I believe it would be an SMF question. Should it not direct you to forum/index.php? At least until we resolve the index.php issue with the host
Nope because action=forum is only added by SimplePortal.
and I believe that the login redirect target is actually a setting somewhere in SimplePortal...
So, this question really needs to be asked of them.
Ok. Thank you.
I use SimplePortal and the way I got it set up is that one arrives as Guest to the Portal (which is basically a static page) and upon login is taken as a Member to the Forum proper (the index page) - I see no point in logging in and remaining on the Portal page. What am I missing?
