It doesn’t appear to be possible, but I’m wondering if you can set a return parameter in the forum module login form. E.g. the in the forums themes forum_login/login_form.html template? I’d like to continue using the forum login form but redirect logged in user to a different starting page than the forum home.

Or is that kind of flexibility only available in a normal template using the {exp:member:login_form} tag?

thanks!

Hi imagehat,

I am unable to find any information on that at the moment. I am going to ping one of the devs to give a definitive answer on that for you though.

Thanks Sean. After a little digging in the module code I’m thinking the answer will be no.

For now I’ve worked around it with a bit of javascript that tweaks the hidden “RET” input to make the client happy, but it would be good to get the definitive answer. (And make a feature request if need be).

Ah- indeed, there isn’t a parameter for it.  That said- you could (as an alternative to the JS) just hard code in the RET as a hidden field.  With forms, if the same field is specified twice, only the last one ‘counts’ if you will.

So:

{form_declaration}
<input type="hidden" name="RET" value="http://127.0.0.1:8888/g20/index.php/somewhere_else/" />
<div class="spacer"> </div>

That said?  It would make a good feature request.  For almost any form, it’s nice to know you can override the return!
