Default to TP front page on login

[confuzed]

Hello

I was reading this topic today http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,23213.msg188221.html#msg188221 regarding how to get TP frontpage to display on login instead of forum.  There were some file edits to be done but it also mentioned possibly being fixed in the next beta.

So I upgraded to TinyPortal v.1.0.6 beta 2 and the problem is still there.  I'm just about to edit the files but I just thought I would mention that this still seems to be a problem.

Any news on when it will be fixed?

Thanks

I think they are looking to correct this in the next BETA release. 

It's a very easy fix though if you wanted to try.

[confuzed]

ok, thanks

so I'm going to use the info in this thread to edit the files right?

i just tried making these edits and it fixed the redirect when logging in, but not the shoutbox.

If you want to change it for all though, you can do that too. Open up Sources/Subs.php and find:

Code Select Expand


function redirectexit($setLocation = '', $refresh = false, $tp_not = false)
replace with:

Code Select Expand


function redirectexit($setLocation = '', $refresh = false, $tp_not = true)

However when trying this edit, I search for the string in the v.1.0.6 TPShout.php and the string does not exist. (Yes I did search for the string and line by line!)

Open up tp-files/tp-modules/tp-shoutbox/Sources/TPShout.php and find:

Code Select Expand


redirectexit($_POST['tp-shout-url']);
Replace it with:

Code Select Expand


redirectexit($_POST['tp-shout-url'], false, true);

any ideas?

Im guessing what i am looking for is this: (around line 190)

Code Select Expand

// if using mod rewrite, go to forum
if(!empty($modSettings['queryless_urls']))
redirectexit('action=forum');
else
redirectexit(strip_tags($_POST['tp-shout-url']));

but what should i change it to?

Code Select Expand

// if using mod rewrite, go to forum
if(!empty($modSettings['queryless_urls']))
redirectexit('');
else
redirectexit(strip_tags($_POST['tp-shout-url']));

this seems to work, redirects to the fron page, but how would i schange this so it stays on the current page.

in an attempt to not be to impatient, i do this with great risk...."bump"

You can possible use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to do that. Give it a shot and let me know if it works.

Thanks for looking into this IchBin, I know you guys are busy and I was hesitant to bump my post. I tried this and it did not work, it still redirects to the front page after submitting a shout.

Code Select Expand

// if using mod rewrite, go to forum
if(!empty($modSettings['queryless_urls']))
redirectexit($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
else
redirectexit(strip_tags($_POST['tp-shout-url']));

Is there a way we can determine the current location of the user and then put it into a variable? (I know the answer to this, just don't know how!!)

If you feel it needed, you can break this off into a different topic.

Try and see if this works.

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

[TimUSA]

i tried using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']  and using $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

when i start at say http://vsk-ayc.totalh.com/index.php/page,212.html and type in a shout and submit, i get an error:

AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED!
Unable to load the 'main' template.

and the address bar shows http://vsk-ayc.totalh.com/index.php?action=tpmod;shout=save
