How to direct to portal directly from login?

When my users login at the login page, I want the page to direct them to the forum's portal...not to the index.
How can we do that?

If i set the portal as the homepage, guest will be able to see the contents...but i want to start at the login page ===> Portal ===> Options to navigate to the forum

Don't think thats possible.

Hmmm.....forumotion should put that kind of option up. Because I just want to show off my portal and it serve as a menu before entering the forum.

Well the portal is showing up as homepage. Only thing is when you sign into any, it redirects to the forum.

No, I want it this way : Login page > Portal > Forum
The conventional way is : Login page > Forum.

The purpose i want Login page > portal > Forum is that my users will get engrossed with the content in the forum and won't go to the portal.

I tried several ways, such as creating a separate portal page and putting in the login block in it. But the users will end up logging in twice.

You misunderstood what i said, i accept the fact & said its not possible.

Oh sorry sanket. You may close the thread since there's no solution for it.

[ Re-opened ] You can redirect to the portal by using 2 login widgets... Create a second (copy) Login widget with permissions set to "Guests" and a redirect link like this: "/login.forum?redirect=portal.htm" Set the default Login widget permissions to "Administrators, Moderators, Members" Example: Invision forum "login to inbox" widget [click]

Code:

<center><div class="box-content ipbform"><form action="/login.forum?redirect=/msg.forum?folder=inbox" rel="nofollow" method="post"><fieldset><dl><dt><label for="username">Username:</label></dt><dd><input tabindex="1" name="username" id="username" size="15" maxlength="40" value="" class="inputbox autowidth" type="text"></dd></dl><dl><dt><label for="password">Password:</label></dt><dd><input tabindex="2" id="password" name="password" size="15" maxlength="25" class="inputbox autowidth" type="password"></dd><dd class="forgot-pwd"><a href="href="/profile.forum?mode=sendpassword" rel="nofollow">I forgot my password</a></dd></dl><dl><dd><label for="autologin"><input name="autologin" id="autologin" tabindex="4" class="checkbox" checked="checked" type="checkbox"> Auto Log On</label></dd></dl><fieldset class="formbuttonrow"><input name="login" tabindex="6" value="Log in" class="button" type="submit"></fieldset></fieldset></form></div></center>

Code for phpbb3 forum login widget (redirects to portal)

Code:

<form action="/login.forum?redirect=portal.htm" method="post"><fieldset class="fields1"><dl><dt><label for="username">Username:</label></dt><dd><input tabindex="1" name="username" id="username" size="20" maxlength="40" value="" class="inputbox autowidth" type="text"></dd></dl><dl><dt><label for="password">Password:</label></dt><dd><input tabindex="2" id="password" name="password" size="20" maxlength="25" class="inputbox autowidth" type="password"></dd><dd><a href="/profile.forum?mode=sendpassword" rel="nofollow">I forgot my password</a></dd></dl><dl><dd><label for="autologin" style="display: inline; white-space: normal;"><input name="autologin" id="autologin" tabindex="4" class="checkbox" checked="checked" type="checkbox"> Log me on automatically at each visit</label></dd></dl><dl><dt>&nbsp;</dt><br><dd><input name="login" tabindex="6" value="Log in" class="button1" type="submit"></dd></dl></fieldset></form>

I use these login widgets and can verify this method works

Thank you very much to solve the problem!!!
