No need for a promise. The fact that you're planning to is great, as this is one of those excellent "can't live without" mods. Thank you very much for your response.

Great to hear... I will be first in line with a donation when its over to vb4

Definitely a Mod of the year candidate!

Gr8 News! that this monster may be ported over to vB4. :)

Are there directions for Uninstalling this mod?? I used the "uninstall" through the Plugin Manager & removed the files from the server, but there are still tables that didn't not uninstall.

Explained in FAQ

Logician sorry I didn't realise there are two mod forums and I posted to the older one.

I found the instructions for redirecting user login to a Logician template.
How does this work if there are multiple template pages for different usergroups or different users?

Thank you.

Can you please eloborate on the solution you implemented? What exactly did you do? (link to a solution post or referring the section in manual is ok)

Regarding your pm, please check here.

Dear Logician

Thank you so much for fast reply.

Pages set to usergroup I knew and have used very happily.
Big discovery just now is page targeted to certain individual users PLUS web editing! you amazing guy- I didn't know all that.

I would dearly love to have users go to an entry page targeted to either their usergroup (mostly) or for a few, targeted individually.
Now you do give a way to make a Logician page replace the forum homepage using .htaccess and that means using a URL for the logon entry like
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/view...=your_template

How do I deal with it if my usergroup pages are

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/view...your_template1
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/view...your_template2
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/view...your_template3

I suppose the actual login could go to
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/view...=your_template

which might have a redirect?

(I'm not a coder but I can tweak under instruction)

So if I understand you correctly, you want to take user to its usergroup's specific webtemplate when he logged in, am I correct?

With some code edits I can think this is doable but wouldn't it change the entire vb login system's logic for bad? As you know vb login system is kind of intelligent and it takes you to the previous page you were in when you received "no permission page" when you are not logged in. Eg. when you click reply a thread as a guest and receive no permission page, you can enter your u/p there and after login you are taken directly to the "reply this thread" page and resume your action.

And since webtemplates do not have a seperate login system and basically use default vb login system, hacking the login system to give an forceful entry page would mean breaking this function of the login. Don't you think?

(BTW irrelevant but you don't have to create a different webtemplate for each usergroup if modifications are minor. You can just create one webtemplate for all and then use conditionals to display different content to different usergroups)

Exactly.

I don't have guests, only a small board for members only.
They all belong to usergroups 1, 2, 3, or 4.

But I don't know about the login system. You do. So I accept your advice.

Depends on what is "minor."
This COULD be exactly what I need.

The differences are the same section of the page has different info. per usergroup.
For example a weekly timetable which is displayed as a table. That is different per usergroup though the layout is the same. Cell text content different and bgcolor different.
One group has a search form that sends data but that is also in a table.

Perhaps if you tell me the limitations on "minor modifications" I could understand what is possible, and do my design to fit the limitations.

I don't know how to do conditionals. But if you tell me where to look I will learn it.


Thank you Logician. You're great.
