Hi Crispin,

I think you could do this by implementing a custom UserSignIn Event handler. You could check if there is a referring url/return url and if not then do a hard redirect based on your own logic.

Alternatively, since by default if there is no return url the user would be redirected to the home page, and you could implement a custom feature on your home page that redirects based on some custom logic, maybe you could set a session cookie indicating that you did the redirect if you still want the user to be able to come back to the home page if he chooses.

I don't really see this as something that will be implemented directly in mojoPortal, or at least not in the near term.

home page is nothing special, it is no different than any other page, it is merely the root level page with the lowest sort order. you could move any page to the home page position and it would become the home page. So, no there is not a way to make different home pages for different users.

sorry but no, we are not redirecting to a specific page we are just redirecting to the root of the site which by definition happens to be the home page, ie http://yoursite/ or http://yoursite/default.aspx

trying to lookup what the lowest sort order root level page the user is allowed to view is not something I want to build in. We generally don't look up user permissions in the database, we just check the current page allowed roles against the user role cookie, doing that in the database would be much less efficient.

This is not something that has been requested before and it seems like a niche need to me. Its the kind of thing one might do if one were building a social networking site you might want to redirect the user to his own page but mojoPortal is specifically not for that.

My advice would be to instead think in terms of showing or hiding things on the home page based on roles. Say the home page view permissions are for all users, therefore all users can get to the url for the home page, but you add instances of Html content features on the page with more specific roles (view roles on the content instances) they will not be shown if the user is not in an allowed role, therefore you can taylor the home page content by roles.

Sounds like a good project. If you implement it as a custom feature then you could load different data from within the feature depending on the roles of the user who is viewing the page in addition to or as an alternative to showing and hiding different instances based on roles.
