Hello.  I dont know why my previous topic was locked.  Someone here knows the answer so why lock it before I get it?  I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything that could help me.  I may not know what to look for though.   I hope I posted in the right section as well.  OK what I need is...

Code that redirects the user to a HTML page after they register or log in - Basically I created a HTML page with important links on it.  Now I need a code that redirects members to it after they register or log in.

Can anyone help me on this please?

Anyone?

Try to use the portal page.

You could also use the welcome private message system. That is what I use to give helpful links to users on my forum.


If you still wish to do this the current way, it should be possible for someone to create a code for you.

Thanks for the suggestions but neither will do.  I dont want viewers to be redirected to a page when they simply visit as a guest.  I want them to view whatever part of the forum they choose.  I need a code that redirects the viewer to a html page only "after" they register or log in.

Guests cant recieve private messages, therefore they can't be given the links before they register. I just was saying this because you didnt provide an explaination as to why pm system doesnt work.


Alright, you still want the html solution, stand by and I am sure someone will assist you with this.

Hi @OMMA,

I apologize for the wait. This would be the best solution you could utilize :

Code:

$(function() {
  if (_userdata.user_posts == 0 && _userdata.session_logged_in && !my_getcookie('fa_visited')) {
    my_setcookie('fa_visited', 'true');
    window.location.href = '/h1-my-html-page';
  }
});

You'll only be redirected if you're logged in and have 0 posts, which means you're new to the forum. You make use of cookies so the user does not get redirected more than once. HOWEVER, if the user clears their cookies, they'll get redirect again. This will occur until the user has made 1 post. To change the redirect, replace /h1-my-html-page by the URL or path of your HTML page.

The script should be applied under JS codes management, in all the pages.

Also, regarding your topic being locked, please see this topic for more information.

I appreciate your reply Ange.  Not a perfect solution but works.  Thanks.
