Hi, having a hair ripping out session!
been reading the knowledge base I want the customer to go directly to a specific section once they have logged in, I found this but I am lost on the actual implementation! I do not want people to have to log in on shop entry, there is a retail section and a trade section, in the trade section I have a link to {<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBLOGINLINK">} this takes you to the generic log in page, when you submit you user + pswrd you are taken back to the front of the shop, not to the trade area. Can anyone explain how this is done? I have tried both the articles in the KB but neither make and sense and do not seem to work, sure I must be missing something!
1st attempt
Tother attempts.

Issue: Is it possible to re-direct a successful login to another page, other than catalogbody.html?
Solution: Yes, use a link like this for your login page, substituting 'Office_Furniture.html' for the section page you want your customers to go to after logging in:
http://server/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?SE...Furniture.html
Customers will first be shown the login page, and once they have logged in they will go to their required section.
If you are using v6, ensure that you have ticked 'Request Login on Shop Entry' in 'Business Settings | Ordering'.

Issue: Can I redirect which page the login goes to?
Solution: Try this:
Create a temporary brochure fragment called 'Test' with a layout of 'Text Only'.
Enter the word [LINK] (with square brackets) into the 'Text' field and then set up the link settings at the bottom of the dialogue to link to the section you want customers to get to after logging in.
Upload the store, and Actinic will create a link that looks something like this:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl...html&NOLOGIN=1
Just remove the &NOLOGIN=1 from the end of this URL and customers be shown the login page before then going onto the selected section.
