Thread: Signin.aspx? redirect

Can anyone tell me what the info is that I need to add to a link so that it will redirect the person clicking on it to a certain page. I am trying to send out an email with links to products to a customer but the customer is set to a customer level pricing structure so for the client to see the the correct pricing they need to be logged in. So I am wanting for the link to take them to the login page and as soon at they are logged in to direct them to a desired page. I know this is possible I just can't remember what the information is that I need to place into it. I thought is was http://www.mydomain.com/signin.aspx?...siredpage.aspx but that doesn't work.

Any help would be awesome thanks guys.

If your page is already properly protected with server-side ASP.net authentication you just need to give them the link to the page. The server will redirect them to the login page

I think I am looking for the same thing right now...that is if I understand correctly.

What is wanted is for a user (already mapped to Customer Level) to be redirected to a page that lists specific products and Customer Level appropriate pricing upon login.

If it's not correct, this is what I am looking for and this is a similar thread. :-D

Ok I have figured it out.

What you need to do is add the ?returnURL=(whatever your Desired direction page is .aspx)

So The fill link would be http://www.yourdomain.com/signin.asp...siredpage.aspx

This will direct the user to the login page then after they hit the login button it will direct them to the page that you filled into the URL

A grand public thank you is in order.

Thank you.

Hi!

Is there a way to redirect customers to a desired page after login? If so, how do I do that? I need to redirect them to one of the categories page instead of the default.aspx

Thanks.

Pass a "ReturnURL" parameter in the URL:

www.mysite.com/signin.aspx?ReturnURL=c-1-.aspx

... would jump to www.mysite.com/c-1-.aspx after successful signin.

where should I pass the parameter? I don't see the URL at all! It's for the signin.aspx page.

To change the "default" redirect (used in cases like this, where you aren't generating a hyperlink), you can open \web\signin.aspx.cs (or .vb) in Windows Notepad. Find the three occurrences of "default.aspx" (it's in three places, because there are three situations that would return you there), and replace them with "c-1-.aspx". Save the file, and you should be all set.

That's what I did but it still goes to default.aspx.

Ok, my bad. I sent you to the wrong file. Try opening signin.aspx using windows notepad, search for "default.aspx", and replace it with "c-1-.aspx".

Sorry but still no! It keeps going to the default.aspx.

I apologize for the runaround. I thought it was a simple mod; apparently your mods are being overrulled by another methods' ReturnURL command. It's more complicated than I thought.

Could it be stored in a cookie? I am having a similar problem in that I am trying to redirect to a topic. I have based a second login page based upon signin.aspx and am unable to find any more references to default.aspx, yet that is where it goes no matter what I have tried.

I have changed in signin2.aspx:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="c#" Inherits="AspDotNetStorefront.signin2" CodeFile="signin2.aspx.cs" %>

and

Code:

<form runat="Server" method="POST" action="signin2.aspx" id="Signin2Form" name="Signin2Form">

in signin2.aspx.cs:

Code:

public partial class signin2: SkinBase

and in lines 52, 324, and 640:

Code:

ReturnURL.Text = "t-topic-title.aspx";

and in line 316:

Code:

if (sReturnURL.Length == 0 || sReturnURL == "signin2.aspx")

What does this line do?

Code:

string sReturnURL = FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(CustomerGUID, PersistLogin.Checked);
     FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(CustomerGUID, PersistLogin.Checked);

Does it affect anything here?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi again. This is something my boss wants in 3-4 days for one of our customers. Any ideas out there? This is really important. Thanks for your help.

Code:

string sReturnURL = FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(CustomerGUID, PersistLogin.Checked);
     FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(CustomerGUID, PersistLogin.Checked);

Most certainly affects the entire operation. It's setting the redirectURL based on whatever is stored in the cookie. I'll have our Dev team look into this and see if they can't give you a definite answer.

Thank you very much.

Did anyone ever come up with a solution to this problem of redirecting to default.aspx? This is my particular situation: I am designing customized carts for different clients with different customer levels and extended pricing on ver.7.0.2.5ML. I'm currently creating these custom carts in the Sections/Departments menu. What I want to do is not publish those carts and provide a "quick order form" button that redirects the client to something like s-3-Nabisco-custom-cart.aspx. However, the only way I can get the link to work is by publishing the cart, which allows everyone to see it. Obviously, I only want to let that particular client see the customized cart. Further, I would also like the custom button to appear only when that client, or (group of emails) of that client to see the button after they log in. Currently, none of this is possible as I can't get past this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

While I cannot see where any of that is being "Stopped" by redirecting to default after a successful login, I can say that you can simply alter the signin.aspx codebehind:

Code:

If CommonLogic.QueryStringBool("checkout") Then
ReturnURL.Text = "shoppingcart.aspx?checkout=true"
Else
ReturnURL.Text = "default.aspx"
EndIf

There's your redirection logic.

Jesse,
Thank you for the quick response. I apologize for my lack of explaining the actual problem(s) in detail. My project is currently on a dev server, not live. I'm building custom carts and putting them in section sub-cat (Path is departments /customized-shopping-carts/nabisco-custom-cart). If I create this path and Publish=No, then in the URL type: http://localhost:1366/Web/signin.asp...stom-cart.aspx, after I login succesfully, it automatically returns me to the default.aspx page. At this point, I try to go directly to the page by typing in ~/Web/s-3-nabisco-custom-cart.aspx, I still can't see the page, as it takes me right back to the default.aspx page. However, if I publish the page in admin/departments and reset cache, then go to the above path, login, and it works(takes me directly to the s-3-nabisco-custom-cart.aspx page. I can also view it directly at ~/Web/s-3-nabisco-custom-cart.aspx. The problem is, I do not want to publish it for everyone to see. I only want the Nabisco clients to be able to see that page. Same goes for the "Quick Order Form" button (It should only be visible to the Nabisco clients after they successfully login). Originally, that is why I posted in this thread, as the other clients here are having the same exact problem. What am I doing wrong?

You are not setting your page permissions in the web.config. If you did, you can set customer levels that are permitted to view the custom cart pages and not have to worry about publishing them. A good article on it can be found here.

I tried that using <location path="s-3-nabisco.aspx"> and <deny users="*"> and <allow users="thehpguru@nabisco.com">. I still can't view the page unless it is published(after login process). Did I set the location path incorrectly because it is a subcat of a cat of the entity departments? Should I make the path /sections/nabisco/s-3-nabisco.aspx instead? If I put this page under the root (Web) instead of in a section, it would probably work, but I'd like to keep the addtocart functionality along with the entity.tableexpanded2.xml.config display package. Also, instead of using emails separated by commas, should I be using the CustomerLevelID instead (nabisco)? I know it should be simple, but I'm really lost.

If I have an login email address of thehpguru@nabisco.com and a customer level named nabisco, is it the same as:
<allow users="[thehpguru@nabisco.com]"
allowRoles="[nabisco]"/> in the web.config file?

Web.config file has nothing to do with this problem! How can it. It has not been touched, which means it is wide open - allow users="*". If I publish the page, I can see it. If I don't publish the page, I can't, no matter how I try to view it, no matter what URL I type. After studying the XML v2.1 manual for the 10th time, the only logical explanation I can come up with is @publishedonly=1 for the entity.tableexpanded2.xml.config form that I am using to view the page. Even when I change that value to 0, I noticed that this value=1 is also being reinserted into the code under System Defined Dataset, and then again in the Runtime Dataset, which I can't see. Am I on the right track? If so, can you tell me how to change the value in system.web so that it also give a value=0?

However, the only way I can get the link to work is by publishing the cart, which allows everyone to see it. Obviously, I only want to let that particular client see the customized cart.

If you have it working this way, let it work this way. And then explicitly define the cart as deny="*" in the web.config. Underneath the deny node, allow your user group that is permitted to see it.

Was this issue ever resolved???? I do not see any reply from the dev team. I ahve versin 9. Trying to make changes in signin.ascx.cs. But nothing is happening.

I am also having the same problem of redirecting signin.aspx? to default page after login.

What is the solution for this.

Can you please let me know asap?

I have need to redirect to a page other than default.aspx also for v9 any solution?

Like was said in the earlier posts, just create a link to signing.aspx?ReturnURL=BlahBlah and when you click on it and login, you'll be taken to BlahBlah. I do this all the time and it requires absolutely no code modification.

I am aware of that method, I actually posted the same method on another post, however in V9 I cant see where I can add that.

this is the code that generated the login link

ID="ltrSignInOutText" runat="server" Text='<%$ Tokens:SignInOut_Text %>' /></a>

What I did is create an entirely separate link:

Code:

<a href="signin.aspx?ReturnURL=BlahBlah">Sign In</a>

However, if you wanted to modify the code that generates that link automatically look in Tokens.vb under the functions SignInOutLinkParser and SignInOutTextParser.

Here is what I did V9 with Source Code

Create appconfig parameter
name: welcome
description: Directs user to specified page after log in
value: t-welcome-page.aspx

in token.cs changed

HTML Code:

return AppLogic.ResolveUrl(CommonLogic.IIF(!ThisCustomer.IsRegistered, "~/signin.aspx", "~/signout.aspx"));

to

HTML Code:

return AppLogic.ResolveUrl(CommonLogic.IIF(!ThisCustomer.IsRegistered, "~/signin.aspx?ReturnURL=/" + AppLogic.AppConfig("Welcome"), "~/signout.aspx"));

Hi,

I am no programmer, but I found what seems to work. I used a separate .master page template for our homepage. By default when you login to the website it goes to the default.aspx page. So in the skin .master file I added the following code which simply redirects the user to whatever page based on whatever customer level you enter.

HTML Code:

<%
if (ThisCustomer.CustomerLevelID == 3)
Response.Redirect("/c-354-cristinas.aspx");%>

Are you by chance using the VB.Net version and experiencing the ReturnURL problem?
