Can I redirect which page the login goes to?

[KB]

In order to redirect a customer logging into the site to a different page you need to determine the link to that page To do this:-

• Create a temporary brochure fragment called 'Test' with a layout of 'Text Only'.
• On the 'General tab', enter the word [LINK] (with square brackets) into the 'Text' field.
• Then on the 'Links' tab tick the 'Link' box and select the 'Section' option.
• Select the section (each section within the software equates to a page) that you want your customers to land on in the drop-down box
• in the 'Link Text' field add 'LINK IS HERE' and click 'Apply changes'
• Run the command 'Web | Generate Website'
• Delete the temporary 'Test' fragment
• Open file management software such as 'Windows Explorer' and go to your site folder* and into a folder called 'SiteHTML' **
• locate the page that you have created the test fragment on and view the source of the page (you can open the page in 'notepad' and go to 'Edit | Find' and enter LINK IS HERE and click 'Find Next' you should be taken to a link that looks something like this:-

http://localhost/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl...html&NOLOGIN=1

• Copy the link that you have found and remove the &NOLOGIN=1 from the end of this URL

You can then create your own login link/button using this URL that will take the customer to the section page that you wish.

* Depending on the installation option chosen or operating system used, the 'Site' folder can be found in either 'My Documents', 'Documents', 'Shared Documents', 'Public Documents' or 'Program Files' in the folder 'Actinic vX\Sites\' (with X replacing the version number).

** With the introduction of v10.0.3 of the software, the location of the 'SiteHTML' folder has changed. From this version onwards upon installation the user will be prompted for a location to install this folder, if the default is accepted it will appear under your operating systems user profile folder "All Users\Application Data\Actinic v10\<site folder>\SiteHTML"
