Hi,

Is there a way to specify the default Page which appears upon login, either by role or user? I've made a custom admin Page I'd like to appear instead of Pages. Probably am overlooking something simple...

Thanks!

I think you can hook with a module the "___afterLoginRedirect" in the ProcessLogin.module. Haven't tried but it should be possible.

[evan]

This is unknown territory for me...I assume you mean something like this?

public function init() {
$this->addHook('ProcessLogin::afterLoginRedirect', $this, 'helloTest');
}

public function helloTest (HookEvent $event) {
  echo "Hello!";
}

...which didn't work for me.

I went into the realms of logins and found it isn't possible like this.

It's strange even if I change the core ProcessLogin module ___afterLoginRedirect to somthing else, it does nothing. Seems this like it is never used.

Though there a redirect in the module that does the redirect after login and appends an id if one found with get input. So after getting into the logic somehow, I found there's a ProcessHome.module that does only that: redirect to the /page/ when calling /processwire/ login. Though I still don't get it fully, nor do I understand why it is so complicated Ryan?

So hooking the ProcessHome.module does work, though if you click the "Admin" breadcrumb it also redirects to the changed page.

class LoginRedirect extends Wire implements Module {

    public static function getModuleInfo() {
        return array(
            'title' => 'After Login Redirect',          
            'summary' => 'Redirect after login', 
            'version' => 100,
            'autoload' => true,
            'permission' => 'page-view'
            );
    }

    public function init() {
        $this->addHookBefore('ProcessHome::execute', $this, 'redirect');
    }


    public function redirect($event){
        $event->replace = true; // replace hooked function completely
        if($this->user->hasRole('editor')){
            $this->session->redirect($this->pages->get(1186)->url);
        } else {
            $this->session->redirect("page/");
        }
        
    }

}

You can always create your own login page (and template) and have full control over the flow there. Logging in a user in PW is as simple as calling $session->login('name', 'pass'); If it authenticates, it returns a $user. If it doesn't, it returns null.

The $session->login might also be a good one to hook if you don't want to create your own login form. I think this would be preferable to trying to hook in ProcessLogin or ProcessHome.

[evan]

I don't mind the existing login page, I just wanted to change what they land on.

How exactly would I hook into $session->login? The whole hooking concept isn't really clear to me, or at least what is hookable and what is not. Thanks again.

[evan]

OK, figured it out:

public function init() {

$this->session->addHook('login', $this, 'on_login');

}

public function on_login (HookEvent $event) {

if ($this->user->hasRole("editor")) { $this->session->redirect($this->pages->get(1065)->url); }

}

Thanks ya'll!

@evan: Thanks for posting the solution to your problem.

[renobird]

Much appreciated here as well @evan. Definitely something I'll make use of.

[evan]

No problem! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's learning...makes me feel less embarrassed about asking questions!
