Profile as default login page

[falguni1]

the default page after we login is the homepage

how do I make the profile the default page after we login in

[Dragooon]

In /Sources/LogInOut.php(FIRST MAKE A BACKUP AS I HAVE NOT TESTED IT!)
Find

Code Select Expand

// Double check the cookie...
elseif (isset($_GET['sa']) && $_GET['sa'] == 'check')
{
// Strike!  You're outta there!
if ($_GET['member'] != $ID_MEMBER)
fatal_lang_error('login_cookie_error', false);

// Some whitelisting for login_url...
if (empty($_SESSION['login_url']))
redirectexit();
else
{
// Best not to clutter the session data too much...
$temp = $_SESSION['login_url'];
unset($_SESSION['login_url']);

redirectexit($temp);
}
}
replace with

Code Select Expand

// Double check the cookie...
elseif (isset($_GET['sa']) && $_GET['sa'] == 'check')
{
// Strike!  You're outta there!
if ($_GET['member'] != $ID_MEMBER)
fatal_lang_error('login_cookie_error', false);

// Some whitelisting for login_url...
if (empty($_SESSION['login_url']))
redirectexit($scripturl . '?action=profile');
else
{
// Best not to clutter the session data too much...
$temp = $_SESSION['login_url'];
unset($_SESSION['login_url']);

redirectexit($temp);
}
}
Make sure to BACKUP the file before doing this. This is 100% untested.

I think that would annoy users sometimes but that's my opinion...
However, is it possible to make something for the first time they login to the forum ever, it directs them to their profile and only that one time...

Yeah i agree If this was made so when people join they was redirected to fill in their profile then that's cool. maybe someone could do this for us

[brianjw]

Well, since my post in 2007. They have made this possible.

This seems to be more useful for you i suppose.

The difference is, is that the mod I posted only transfers to profile once and that is right after you register. It doesn't continue when you login.
