How to redirect user to dashboard after registration
By adoi
Hi,
I was wondering, is there any way to redirect user to dashboard, after clicking register link. Though user will be blocked to access site areas, getting notification to validate his account.
I am using 1.7.x
Thanks

You must log in to post replies.anything is possible. but there is no ready to use solution available. This needs a bit complicated code by setting an extra metadata on users
You need to create a plugin as Team Webgalli said This needs a bit complicated code by setting an extra metadata on users
The problem is the redirection immediatelly after registration. By default the account needs to be activated first via the activation email before a new user can log in. So, you would need to automatically activate the accounts for the users to be able to log in immediatelly. Though I don't know if this would be wise regarding possible spam bot attacks.
The redirection after the login (once the account is activated) is possible using this plugin (available both for Elgg 1.7 and Elgg 1.8): http://community.elgg.org/plugins/384766/3.0/loginredirector.
I understand Iionly,
But my idea is to allow user to enter website, but can not access anything and easy readble message on user screen with link showing user to validate his accout.
It is much like giving a demo entry to user till user validate his account.
