Were you able to get back in with my note? I still haven’t been able to find a solution

icd2k3,

Sorry for the delays. I’m looking into it now 😊 We don’t generally have support over the weekend, but I have some time to look at this.

Cheers,

Hi icd2k3,

I was able to get in and have a look. Sadly, I wasn’t able to suss out the cause of your woes. A standard redirect works as expected… I’ve alerted the Devs on this, and they should be having a look.

Cheers!

Thanks again for lookin dan, especially on a sunday! Hope the devs may know whats up.

Had to poke a bit because the behavior was really puzzling!  The problem boiled down to- EE shows a ‘logged in message’ and then redirects you to wherever it’s supposed to redirect.  It uses the message template to show that message and handling the redirecting (In ‘Design- Message Templates- User Message’). 

The problem?  That user message template had been edited to remove the bit that does the redirect:

{meta_refresh}

You’ll definitely want that in there or any system message is just going to get ‘stuck’ on that page, even if it should redirect.

Make sense?  Should be working fine for you now, but let us know if it is.

Ohhh man, that makes perfect sense *kicks self*

As a followup question, is it possible to make it redirect without going to that message? if not, no big deal.

Thanks for the assistance.

Not natively, though it happens so fast on that one I honestly don’t notice it (defaults to 1 second).  The main issue is, other messages are use the same template and they may vary on the redirect (a search error message, for example), hence the use of variables.

Would make a good FR to add in a ‘rate’ parameter, which controls how quick the redirect is.  Actually, would be rather nice to have that for all relevant forms.
