Make dashboard plugin page the default admin page

[kriegar]

Hi guys,

I have seen this done but have no idea how to do it. I have the dashboard plugin installed and would like dashboard page to be the first page that comes up after logging in.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Something like this will redirect you.

(not tested)

class RedirectToDashboard extends WireData implements Module {

  public static function getModuleInfo() {
    return array(
      'title' => "Redirect To Dashboard",
      'version' => "0.0.1",
      'summary' => "Redirect",
      'autoload' => true,
      'singular' => true,
    );
  }

  public function init() {
    $this->addHookBefore("ProcessHome::execute", $this, "redirectTo");
    $this->addHookBefore("ProcessPagelist::execute", $this, "redirectTo");
  }

  public function redirectTo($event) {
    if (!$this->user->isSuperuser()) {
      $this->wire('session')->redirect('/processwire/setup/dashboard/');
    }
  }
}

I made a module for this sometime ago https://github.com/ocorreiododiogo/ProcessHomeAdmin

Should still work.

Also, the module itself should handle the redirect:

// Redirect calls for the admin homepage to the dashboard (first child page)
if ($this->page->id == 2) {
    $this->session->redirect($this->page->child->url);
}

i usually just move the dashboard page up to the top if it isn't there after installing.

you could also try posting your issue on the module's topic.

 The last time I used this module was on Dev 3.0.149 and it worked fine (in conjunction with your AdminCustomPages module).  I've just installed on Dev 3.0.155 and it seems to be having no effect.  Any ideas?

It's working nicely for me on the newest dev version of PW. Did you change the process on the admin page from "ProcessHome" to "ProcessHomeReplace"?

Doh!, you are indeed correct.  How did I miss that in the 2 line readme!

Thanks.
