Redirect to a custom page on login?

Is it currently possible to redirect members to a custom (Proboards page) after they login to the forum?

Note: If this is not possible I would like an admin or mod to make this a new feature request please.

I think Admin or a Mod would need your Forum URL which you have marked up as private, maybe a PM being sent to Scott might help if you want to keep your URL private.

When the URL is marked as private to members in the way that it is in the OP, the staff here can still see it. It's a function of the template users fill out when making a thread here. No need to PM anyone.

SafeInSanity , I don't think this is currently possible, but the staff will be able to confirm when they get on after 5pm GMT on Monday.

D is correct; right now the only two options are to set a custom page as your home page (which would show consistently, rather than just on login) or to have a custom page be the first page seen after registration, neither of which fits your situation.

We are also unable to write a code to do this as the default is a redirect back to the home page which would mean any code would have to be of the automatically redirecting nature and those are disallowed by the terms of service.

SafeInSanity, what page were you hoping to redirect a user to?

While you can’t use JavaScript to redirect to another page, you could use it to temporarily replace the content of the home page after the user logs in. As long as the content is static or otherwise composed of data made available via JS or template variables, you could make it appear as if the user was being taken to a different page. You couldn’t replicate a live thread or thread listing, though.

I was just hoping to redirect to a custom page that I created on the forum with the Proboards Pages feature. Currently I have to have the custom page set to be the forum's homepage to do this, but I thought it would be neat to have the forum as the homepage and then redirect to the custom page after login.

In Admin Home > Settings > Forum Settings > Login & Registration tab you can add a link to the After Registration Page box which can be a link to a custom page!

Not working. After login it still takes me to the forum index page. 😟

Yeah, that's after registration, not login.  The only way to currently do it would be if you have that custom page set as your homepage.

I have marked this as a feature request.
