Hi, I am trying to setup member:login to redirect the user to a different template based on their assigned Member Group. Here is what I have so far:

{exp:member:login_form
      {if member_group == "10"} return="template/one" 
      {if:elseif member_group == "11"}  return="template/two" 
      {if:else}  return="template/three" {/if}  
}

However, it always reverts to the last if:else statement and returns to template/three (or whatever I put in there). It apparently is not reading the member_group variable.

Is this proper syntax? Is there a better way of coding this? Ideas?

Using EE2.1.0 and Solspace User.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I think this has something to do with the parse order. Simple conditionals are parsed before module tags, but advanced conditionals are parsed after.

Does this work?

{exp:member:login_form
      {if member_group == "10"} return="template/one"{/if}
      {if member_group == "11"}  return="template/two"{/if}
      {if member_group != "10"}{if member_group != "11"}  return="template/three" {/if}  
}

Actually I think, {member_group} parses at the end, so it might not. Try it out.

Hi Kelly, thanks so much for your reply. That does not appear to work either. Same result of going to template/three. I even tried:

{exp:member:login_form
      {if logged_in_group_id == "10"} return="template/one"{/if}
      {if logged_in_group_id == "11"}  return="template/two"{/if}
      {if logged_in_group_id != "10"}{if logged_in_group_id != "11"}  return="template/three" {/if}  
}

with the same result of reverting to template/three.

Thoughts?

Because the {member_group} parses last, the only thing I can think of is embed the form is a subtemplate and pass it the {member_group} variable.

Seems kind of hacky, but I can’t think of a better solution.

Grrr, there has to be a way. I am wondering if I can have a dropdown within the member:login that allows the user to choose what group they are in?

Did you try to pass the {member_group} to a subtemplate?

oh probably not because it’s a login form and they are not part of any member group yet. You can make a member_group drop down if you want them to choose. I’ve done that.

Or you could do conditionals on the return template. Embed a subtemplate for every member group and pass the {member_group} variable to the subtemplate.

Create a “routing” template:

login template:

{exp:member:login_form
      return="login/redirect"
}

login/redirect template

{if logged_in_member_group == "10"}{redirect="template/one"}{/if}
      {if logged_in_member_group == "11"}{redirect="template/two"}{/if}
      {if logged_in_member_group != "10" && logged_in_member_group != "11"}{redirect="template/three"}{/if}

Thanks Kelly and Rob, I’ll give those a shot this weekend and let you know how it turns out. Just trying to keep my head wrapped around it.

Thanks again!

The redirect sub-template worked perfectly. Thanks so much!
