Existing User/New User Redirect

Lee Holcomb

Is it possible to redirect existing users who login and news users who register to a specific page? Right now they are redirected to our homepage. I would like to redirect them to a custom welcome page. 



Existing user login: https://secure2.convio.net/hagi/admin/UserLogin



New user login: https://secure2.convio.net/hagi/site/ConsProfileUser



Also, where/how can I change the content on the new user login page? 



Thanks in advance!

You can add the NEXTURL parameter with an encoded URL to links directed at your login page...



https://secure2.convio.net/hagi/site/UserLogin?NEXTURL=https://secure2.convio.net/hagi/site/ConsProfileUser



Note: Your example URL had 'admin' where I think it should be 'site'.



Your new user registration page is really the constituent user profile page, which is blank for unregistered users. Not much you can do with that standard form unless you want to recreate it with the API. Instead, I would register users with a Survey using the constituent fields. You have lots of control over the survey, and they are pretty easy to completely control by either 'scraping the survey' or using the API.



I like to make a very short registration survey - like name and email only - and then direct them to the constituent user profile page where they can add more information. If they walk away from there you still have the basics from the super friendly short survey, but on the other hand they could provide additional valuable personal info on the second page. It's a nice middle ground between getting lots of new users with little info, or few new users with lots of details.

Note that you an pass a NEXTURL to ConsProfileUser, too.



Also, you can make basic configuration changes to that page (i.e. which fields do and don't display) under Setup -> Standard Page Center.
