Landing page after Login

[PaulD]

Hi,

Can anyone let me know how actinic determines which page to display after a customer has logged in?

Currently I get www.(myurl).co.uk/cgi-bin/bb000001.pl

Any help would be good - thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

The link for the login page in Actinic is dynamic and depending on which page you are on at the moment of clicking the login link, on successful login, you would be redirected to that specific page.

On placing the cursor over the login link you would see the link in the status bar as http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/ss000001.p...ctionname.html and the section name would vary depending on which section you are at that moment.

So in case you want all customers who login to be redirected to one specific page you need to hard code the login link to point to that specific section.

The below Knowledge base article gives more info on how to achieve this.

Thanks Robert, that certainly helps,

Can you tell me where I can find the html to edit for the logon button at the top?

www.powerquick.co.uk if you want to look

I have sovled the login problem with your help for the login generated by the fragment, but would still like to change the login destination of the login button in the top navigation bar,

Cheers

Design | Options | Navigation lists all the buttons there (usually login2.gif and login1.gif depending on theme)

Thanks Jont, but that only changes the gif image etc, I need to be able to change the destination of the link, ie which page is displayed after clicking,

Hi Paul,

You would need to edit Act_BrochurePrimary.html and comment out NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERGUIDE and manually embed the login button and the link you want it to point to. Similary you would need to edit Act_Primary.html and comment out NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE which is the variable that brings in the Navigation buttons on the catalog pages. You would need to hard code each one.

To insert the rest of the navigation buttons you could try the solution found in the Actinic Advanced User guide for Inserting Individual Navigation Buttons found on page 14.
