Change Landing Page

[preveo]

Where or how do I change the landing page once a user has logged in? At the moment it defaults to the dashboard page. I want it to display a certain page after login. How can I do this under 1.9?

Hi @preveo,

We can not change it through the Magento configuration. But yes, we can change it by customize the code.

I can share the file path where it is mentioned:

\app\code\core\Mage\Customer\controllers\AccountController.php

So if you will do it through coding then extend this controller and then make the changes.

Hi,

What actually needs to be changed in the file?

Hi @preveo ,

Firstly you need to make changes in admin side.

Go to: System > Configuration > customer configuration > Login Options >

and set “Redirect Customer to Account Dashboard after Logging in” to No.

Now, as the mentioned above, in that file [\app\code\core\Mage\Customer\controllers\AccountController.php], there is one function named as "_loginPostRedirect()".

Here search for "$this->_getHelper('customer')->getAccountUrl()" and change it to what you want.

It will serve your purpose.
