Group homepage preference does not work (?)

posts: 4

Hello.

If I change the group homepage setting, it has no effect. No matter if I enter an external address or SomePage, it always shows the HomePage after I log in. This happens if the user belongs to one or several groups. Could this be some PHP5-related issue? The tikiwiki is 1.9.4.

Any suggestions, anybody?

Try setting a default group for users

I though that the Group administration (tiki-admingroups.php) -page does just this. If I set the "Group Homepage: (Use wiki page name or full URL)" to be either a www-address or some tikiwikipage, it has no effect. Did I get your point at all? :-]

Hi Takku!

A user can belong to several groups and cumulate permissions, however, in certain cases, only one course of action is possible. This is why the concept of default group exists in Tiki.

Say a user belongs to several groups. When this user logs in, to which page should (s)he be redirected to?

Step-by-step:

  1. Go to: tiki-adminusers.php
  2. Find your user:
  3. Click on Assign group (the yellow key)
  4. Now, notice below the list of groups, the "Default Group" drop-down menu.


Whatever you choose here will be used for the group home page.

It is also used for the user tracker. Depending on the default group, a tracker or another is used.

Best regards,

M ;-)

I tried this with

a) my user was included only in one group
b) my user was included in several (two) groups

Neither case worked as expected; the page was always the HomePage -wikipage.


Thanks again for the reply,

If someone has successfully used the groups-homepage -setting, please let me know.
