how do I change the landing page on Dolphin 7?

Hello everyone, I know this is not a new topic by any means, but the forum that has the answer consists of a link that is now dead.

Can someone please help again. I want to keep members out of their dashboard as much as possible.

Thanks,

Ohhellmel

you can relocate them to any page you want for example index.php

go to inc/design.inc.php line 437

'value'=> isset($_REQUEST['relocate']) ? $_REQUEST['relocate'] : BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'member.php',

change it to this

'value'=> isset($_REQUEST['relocate']) ? $_REQUEST['relocate'] : BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'index.php',

its easy, i hope it helps.

Made the change and didn't work.

When any of my test accounts log in they still goto the dashbord after signing in. I, m sure I did it right so.... ????

what are you asking for actually??? i gave the way to relocate the users after they login

that is what i'm looking for, but when anyone login, it still goes to the dashboard.

           

          'relocate' => array(
                'type' => 'hidden',
                'name' => 'relocate',
                'value'=> isset($_REQUEST['relocate']) ? $_REQUEST['relocate'] : BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'index.php',
            ),

I just downloaded this off my active site.

can i have your site address?

sure www.mystylesandprofiles.net

Be aware it is a members only adult based site. I will have to active and approve your membership before you can test it property. but if your game I am.

Thanks for your help by the way.

it should relocate to index.php

the change is applied

<input class="form_input_hidden" type="hidden" name="relocate" value="http://mystylesandprofiles.net/index.php">

if it doesn't does it than the problem may be something else

Agreed, it seems like it should work. I cleared the cache after and everything (not that it would matter).

Maybe it's something local, I will test it from another location.

Thanks for your help.

Same issue, nothing has changed.

I changed it to several other pages and it didn't redirect to them either. I put the code back to "member" in case I did something wrond on my end.

Thanks for the try, not sure why it will not work for me.

Simple.. open member.php and find this around line #679:

   $sRelocate = bx_get('relocate');

Now change it to whatever page you like, for example:

   $sRelocate = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . 'contact.php';

Clear your cache and your done. This would relocate anyone who logged in to the contact us page..

Awesome, that worked like a charm.

This was a very important issue and I thank you so much.

I wish I had a way to repay you, but where to go for a good burger is about the extent of my valuble knowledge.

Guys like you & Prashank helping people like myself to make things work is what keeps this Webworld alive and worth living in.

Thanks Again,

Mel

You're welcome, glad it worked for you!

I am using the most recent version of dolphin and tried this and am still getting brought to dashboard.  Is there anything else that I should be doing?

Also tried this on version 7.  Changed both instances to index.php.  Seems logical but, no joy.

What else could it be?  

Strange that it's not a setting in the admin area.

Thanks

I'm using http://www.boonex.com/m/Redirect_to_any_page_after_logon_

Maybe you can help me back. When logging out with Chrome the user IS logged out but after going through displaying the bye-bye message, it loads the homepage again, member version (since the homepage and landing page are the same in my case). User must reload the page to see the guest version of the homepage. Is this some bad manners on behalf of Google or not (other browsers have no such issue)?

No need for blaming Chrome. :) It was a caching, lol, "issue".
