OK, I had prepared a Word file with screen shots, but my message did not have any attachment shown.
Redirection after certain log-ins
This is for Joomla 2.5.27 and CB2.0.3
Create a new site. Create a CB Login. Allow visitors to register for access to Access level ‘Special’ (that is, Author and above – manual confirmation by admin).
Create an article called ‘test’. Add a main menu item called, say, Menu_item which links to the single article ‘test’. (actually, anything creates the problem, not just articles).
Give the article ‘test’ public access, but make menu item ‘Menu_item’ have access level Special.
When users are not logged in, ‘Menu_item’ is not visible. After login, they can see Menu_item and click through to read ‘test’.
The URL corresponding to ‘test’ is
www.mysite.com/index.php/test
Now log-out of the site and paste the above URL in the browser. The article test is not accessible of course and you are challenged with the Joomla (not CB) login.
Browser shows address
www.mysite.com/index.php/component/users/?view=login
Now enter your User Name and Password. With CB1.9.1 you would then be taken to the required destination, ie ‘test’.
With CB2, you get a summary view of one’s Profile.
Browser shows address
www.mysite.com/index.php/component/users/profile
You will note from the above that this site uses Search Engine Friendly URLs with URL rewriting off. I have also tested with SEF URLs off and get the same result.
