Choose page other than Your_Account as entry page.

Open index.php from the modules/Your_Account directory and find the following code within the login function (around line 828 in Nuke 7.4 - this may vary, but look for the login function)

Code:

if ($redirect == "" ) {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=$username");
} else if ($mode == "") {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=Forums&file=$forward");
} else if ($t !="") {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=Forums&file=$forward&mode=$mode&t=$t");
} else {
Header("Location: modules.php?name=Forums&file=$forward&mode=$mode&f=$f");

Alter this line ...

Code:

if ($redirect == "" ) {
Header("Location:modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=$username");

Edit the URL to take members to an alternate page upon login.
Remove modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=$username and replace it with the URL of your choosing.

**Update** In unmodified copies of version 7.8, you can find the above code on or around line 855.

And if you use Nuke 7.7, just find this :

Code:

modules.php?name=Your_Account&op=userinfo&bypass=1&username=$username

and replace with the link you want Cool

Actually, that codes are not properly working for some reasons. The above codes assumed "naked" module names such as
Forums
Your_Account
etc...

What if you put security patches?
They must be changed using $module_name variable by extracting dirname() function.

So, first of all, use direname() function prior to changing them.

However, you changed modules names such as Forums --> Bulletin Board ?

This modification does not work anymore. Therefore, the best and tight codes, which runs at any cases, must have a query to extract module names from DB tables (module name tables and mid field (module_id or name)).

Good Luck. this is a very good discussion and staring point to dig into what's going on.

Better yet, you can use php sessions to determine when to redirect the user. Here is how ...

Create the following if it does not already exist ...
For versions 7.5 and lower, create includes/myheader.php
For versions 7.6 and above, create includes/custom_files/custom_header.php

How the code works -

// We begin a php session unconditionally when the client enters the site.

Code:

session_start();

// prevent sessionid from showing in url

Code:

ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", false);

// Next we set the global variables for user and admin

Code:

global $user, $admin;

// Next we check to see if the client is logged in as user or admin

Code:

if(!is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){

// If the the client is not logged in as user and is not admin we register a temporary variable to the session

Code:

session_register(no_redirect);
$no_redirect = "true";
}

// if the client is logged in as a user and is not admin and the temporary variable exists in the session, we unset the temporary variable and redirect the client to whatever page we choose

Code:

if(is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){
if($_SESSION[no_redirect]=="true"){
unset($_SESSION[no_redirect]);
Header("Location: URL GOES HERE");
}
}

So, the complete code looks like this ...

Code:

// Redirect users - JasonLau.biz
global $user, $admin;
session_start();
ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", false);
if(!is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){
session_register(no_redirect);
$no_redirect = "true";
}
if(is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){
if($_SESSION[no_redirect]=="true"){
unset($_SESSION[no_redirect]);
Header("Location: URL GOES HERE");
}
}

All you have to do is replace URL GOES HERE with the url address you are redirecting the client to.

If you are creating a new file for this code, simply copy and save the following...

Code:

<?php
// Redirect users - 2005 JasonLau.biz
global $user, $admin;
session_start();
ini_set("url_rewriter.tags","");
ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", false);
if(!is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){
session_register(no_redirect);
$no_redirect = "true";
}
if(is_user($user) && !is_admin($admin)){
if($_SESSION[no_redirect]=="true"){
unset($_SESSION[no_redirect]);
Header("Location: modules.php?name=Downloads");
}
}
?>

With this method, it should not matter what patches have been installed and so forth.
Note that this code will not redirect the admin upon login.

Hope this helps someone! Very Happy

Using sessionization is another good idea, prophet.
The above codes are much much better.

How about a small admin config tweak? For instance, admin will have an option in there preferces of admin CP which allow them to select module name to redirect or go to when users login/ create account/ or rediction ?
