REDIRECTING CURRENT USERS BASED ON THEIR MEMBER TYPE - Oct 5th, 2011

User John from JAM Graphics wanted to know if there was an easy way to redirect the retailer sales rep "members" to different parts of a website on login. Robin Brayer from Interactive Tools came up with this simple answer: If you add a "type" menu to the accounts section, that data will automatically be added to the CURRENT_USER variable ($CURRENT_USER['type']). You can use that to verify a users type at the top of a page. On login, you can set your website membership "WEBSITE_LOGIN_POST_LOGIN_URL" to direct to something like "logindispatch.php". Then redirect users from there to the correct place. e.g. The code might look something like: if($CURRENT_USER['type']=='retailer') { redirectBrowserToURL('retailerpage.php'); }
