Redirecting Members

Can anyone help with this please. Once a member registers he/she is now on the Avatar page, once they select an Avatar or upload one of their own or their photo, what happens? They just sit on that screen? Is there a way for it to take you to profile page?

Or perhaps they should land on Profile Page once registered? I am finding very few have the savvy to edit and fill in their profile info.

Thanks

I agree.. The signup process is definitely not intuitive.

The only problem is that the avatar selection is not mandatory, so the new member will only be redirected IF they select an avatar. If the redirect occurs after saving your account information during signup then it'll bypass the avatar selection.

One idea would be to turn off Avatar Selection in admin panel & then you could modify the redirect page. I currently have all members logging in directed to their Profile page versus Account Home.

How do you do that please? Where in Admin do I start with ?

This is DEANO's mod which he has made available free of charge

This mod allows you to set a page that the member will

be redirected to after the member logs in.

When completed a new setting for the redirect page will appear

in Admin -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Variables

First we need to enter a new admin item in the database. 

Enter the following SQL query using phpMyAdmin or you

can use the sql query tool in my deanos tools mod if you

have it installed.

INSERT INTO `sys_options` (`Name`, `VALUE`, `kateg`, `desc`, `Type`, `check`, `err_text`, `order_in_kateg`, `AvailableValues`) VALUES

('page_after_logon', 'member.php', 15, 'Page to redirect to after logon', 'digit', '', '', NULL, '');

Now make the follow change to member.php in the root of your dolphin site.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR DOLPHIN 7.0.3-7.0.9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At about line 686 Look for the following.

if (!$sUrlRelocate = $sRelocate or $sRelocate == $site['url'] or basename($sRelocate) == 'join.php')

$sUrlRelocate = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php';

Replace it with the following code.

// Deano - Redirect after Logon Mod - Start

if (!$sUrlRelocate = $sRelocate or $sRelocate == $site['url'] or basename($sRelocate) == 'join.php')

$sUrlRelocate = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php';

if (strstr($sUrlRelocate,'member.php')) {

$dbRv = getParam('page_after_logon');

$dbRd = $dbRv;

$dbRd = str_replace("{nickname}",getNickName((int)$_COOKIE['memberID']),$dbRd);

$dbRd = str_replace("{memberid}",$_COOKIE['memberID'],$dbRd);

$sUrlRelocate = $site['url'] . $dbRd;

}

// Deano - Redirect after Logon Mod - End

The mod defaults to redirecting the member after logon to the default

page of member.php

You can now change this to any page you want.

You will find the setting in the admin panal in advanced settings -> Variables.

Here are some example values.

To redirect to the main index page. Leave the value empty.

To redirect to the members profile use a value of {nickname}

To redirect to the photos main page use a value of m/photos/home/

To redirect to the news main page use a value of m/news/index/

There are 2 special values that can be used in the value field.

{nickname} is replaced with the nickname of the member that logged in.

{memberid} is replaced with the member id of the member logged in.
