[CMS] Upon log in, directs to CMS page. How to?

[sqzdog]

When my users log in from the CMS page, I want them to be directed back to the CMS page after the log in routine, instead of forum home. Any ideas? I'm sure this is simple and I am just having one of my moments...

Edit the index.php file so they go to content.php instead of forum.php.

[sqzdog]

Its already set up that way as a default. For some reason it goes to the forum.php, even though the part is commented out.

You don't have any .htaccess files in the root directory that may have a redirect on it?

[sqzdog]

Nope

[Trevor Hannant]

Can you post the code for your index.php file here and a link to your site please

 * Note: You may need to change the cookie path of your vBulletin

 * If you move this file to the root of your website then you should ensure 
 * the cookie path is set to '/'.

//define(VB_RELATIVE_PATH, 'forums');


// Do not edit.
if (defined('VB_RELATIVE_PATH'))
{
    chdir('./' . VB_RELATIVE_PATH);
}

Url?

[david4514]

I have exactly the same issue. We are still just in test mode and newbies at the same time. When I first browse my website, index.php correctly directs me to ../content.php. However, if I logoff from vBulletin and then log back on (without exiting the browser or browsing to any other page) I am always directed back to ../forum.php. I am currently using vBulletin 4.03 PL1, though this behaviour has been there from the initial release of vBulletin 4.

The issue is that when you logoff from vBulletin, the url in the browser still points to ../login.php with a bunch of query parameter information still appended. The fact that login.php is still there prevents index.php from being used. It appears that vBulletin internally prefers forum.php.

I'd put that one in the Bug Tracker
