First Timer: Redirect new members on their first login.

MSM support is planned! It’s actually not a big of an update, but I haven’t had time to implement. Drop me a PM and I’ll have you test out the changes as soon as they’re ready.

I’m liking this extension. I’m actually looking for something like it that redirects users away from the “you’re now activated” message they get after they click on the link in the auto-email. I hate leaving my users stranded on a system message instead of taking them back to the site(s) to login.

Thoughts on how to accomplish this?

FYI, this extension doesn’t work on my system if I also have Redirect After Login installed.

Wiki’ed.

I love the extension - very simple and useful! However, I’ve noticed it seems to mess with the discussion forum add-on. When First Timer is enabled, if I’m logged out of my site and I’m on my forum (www.example.com/forum) and try to log in - I’m redirected back to the homepage of my site (www.example.com).. instead of the forum itself. If I disable this extension and try logging in while within the forum, I’m properly redirected to the forum in logged in state. So there’s obviously a conflict somewhere.

Does anyone know a way that I can mod either my forum or this extension to allow it not to redirect forum logins to the homepage of my site (www.example.com)

I can’t seem to get this to work in 1.6.8 , anyone else?

I can’t get it to work in 1.6.8 either. I checked the database and no matter what I do the “first_time” field in “exp_members” does not get updated. I am using a standalone login page with the following form:

<form action='http://mysite/system/index.php?S=0&C=login&M=auth' method='post'>

Update: I made it work using this login form login form tag

Thanks for this extension!

Glad you got it working. I’ll be working on improvements, so let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
