Ok, that's a situation where MetaMod may not be the whole answer.

In your login module, you should be able to tell it which page to go to on login. Are you doing that? You should set the "Login Redirection Page" to the menu item that you want people to be sent to when they log in. If that's set correctly, the right menu item should be highlighted once they get sent to that page.

Ah, I see what you mean. That is a bit more difficult. Would it work for you to have 2 separate login forms, 1 for each type of user, and try to encourage people to use the right form? Yeah, ok, not a great idea, but I thought I'd mention it.

A better way would be to get the login form to redirect to a "dummy" page that has a MetaMod on it. That MetaMod would detect the group of the user, and redirect them to the right page for that group. How does that sound?

So you could:
1 - set up a dummy menu item on a hidden menu, that points to nothing in particular (blank article or something - it probably won't be seen)
2 - edit your login module so it redirects to that page
3 - assign a MetaMod to that page that detects the 2 group types, and does a redirect.

Now I don't know what code you are using for detecting the groups, but here's what you can use for the redirect:

$app = &JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect("http://www.example.com/home_page_for_co … html");

I'm assuming you know how to build that in with your other PHP.

Hope that helps,

Hi Lindy,

the PHP code is a little wrong. Try this:

$app = &JFactory::getApplication();
if ($core_genius->check("groups = super users")) {
  $app->redirect("http://www.rhapsideemusic.co.za/en/subm … ines");
}

I think that will work better.

Cheers,

ok, I'm assuming that you are logging in to the front end with a super user's credentials in order to test this out. If you are doing that then something wrong with the rule. I'm going to test this out myself.

Just double check that the MetaMod on the dummy hidden menu is actually assigned to the right menu item, and published, and set to a valid module position.

Will get back to you to confirm the PHP...

Cheers,
Stephen

Confirmed, the PHP is fine and redirects only when superadmins log in on the front end.
