Login redirect for custom component

Hi

I'm having a problem getting cblogin to parse a redirect url for my component. I wish for someone to be logged in and taken to a particular page in my component.





if I turn off redirectUrls in the Community Builder System plugin the return is processed as expected. When that setting is enabled the return does not work, and i just go to the redirect specified in the module config.

I'd be quite happy to hard code a com_comprofiler variant if necessary, rather than rely on rewriting..

thanks,

Gavin

running Joomla 3.4.1 and CB 2.0.7 on ubuntu 12.04 LTS / apache2 with SEF switched off in global config

Enable redirect urls and rewrite urls within CBs system plugin then pass your redirect URL through JRoute::_( URL_HERE ). You also need to replace &task with &view in your URL. &task is deprecated in Joomla since J1.6. CB should then turn it into a CB login page URL. Alternatively just use CBs login page URL as follows.

index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=login

Thanks Kyle,

I tried that and had no joy - the return is ignored by comprofiler still. I haven't set any menu items for this component - would that cause issues for CB?

Ah, I understand what you're wanting. That won't work with CB. CB login doesn't accept return URLs from GET. I believe the only way to get that to work is to try sending the user to Joomlas login page and formatted exactly as how Joomla expects it and our system plugin maybe able to push it to the CB login module, but that's not guaranteed to work.

CB seemed to dump the return URL regardless whether approached directly or via com_users - I ended up writing a login view (basically a clone of the standard joomla )to solve the issue - thanks for your time.

best wishes,

Gavin

You can render CBs login module by loading in its module display. That's how CBs login page functions. The CB Login module it self builds the return URL based off the page you're on. Below is how this is done for example.
