Thread: Page after login

Hello I need to change the page that a user is forwarded too after a user logs in to a custom page I have created. Anyone know how I can do this. I change the url on link 332 of the login.aspx.cs but apparently that is not the correct way because it is still going to the default store page.

Thanks

Are you referring to the home template? If so, if you've created a customized template already and wanted to use it instead of the default one we had you can set appconfig: HomeTemplate to that filename (e.g. hometemplate.ascx).

Hello,

I know what you are saying, but that is not what I need.
I have a website where the store is in a sub directory but the we use the login and role provider that the store uses. I have a page set up that is not in the store, and I need users to be forwarded to that when they first login.

Thanks

I would also like to know how to do this.

Currently: After a successful login, user is redirected to default.aspx.

What we need: After a successful login, user is redirected to mypage.aspx.

Change your login link to this <a href="/signin.aspx?returnurl=/mypage.aspx">

that worked. thanks virtualtap.

Would be nice to do this on a per user basis.. i.e. direct users based on a propery in their customer account (i.e. a new field like InitialPage). This way each customer could have their own initial page if necessary.

How do I set the content of this token: (!SIGNINOUT_LINK!) It's not in topics, Strings, or Appconfigs.
I suppose I could create a String Resource to have the name of any page I want.
I am curious as to where the Skin tokens are kept.

You should be see the definition under the Parser class. If you have the source, you should be able to see it under the AspDotNetStorefrontCore (8011 and above)/ AspDotNetStorefrontCommon (8000 and below)

Is there a method to the madness of calling the sign-in page in https? Can I just substitute the fully qualified URL in https or http togo back and forth?
i.e.
<a href="https://xxx.com/.../signin.aspx?returnurl=http://xxx.com/.../mypage.aspx">

Well, you could use this:

Code:

HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(AppLogic.GetStoreHTTPLocation

this would actually try to throw you to a secured URL

Thanks Jao,
I looked around my site but the changes you mentioned for HTTPS redirect, are they in the source files?
Could I get an explanation of: HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(AppLogic.Get StoreHTTPLocation.... - in regards to what data is referenceable here, how to assign, and how it calls a page

Well, the HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect is already standard and it basically redirects the browser to whatever content is assigned to its parameter. AppLogic.GetStoreHTTPLocation is what I need to explain, it simply checks the bool parameter and then alter the kind of line the URL will use. If the value is false, the URL will simply use the HTTP (non-secure), otherwise, it will be changed to HTTPS (secure). That's the function of the AppLogic.GetStoreHTTPLocation and it's available and ready for usage...
