Hello Everyone,

Forgive me if this has been covered, I have tried to search but only found a few redirection topics relevant to SS 2.4 and I am using SS 3.0.

I have a site that I am building and each user is part of a group

There maybe one or more users to a group

I have a base page setup for each group and the groups only have permission to see there own page,

My question is, how do I have SS redirect these users to there page upon login?

I have researched and found a line to add into the _config.php to provide a login redirection: Security::set_default_login_dest('urlofpage');

Forgive me as I have only just started to use SS but I am really enjoying it.

Tutorial is for 2.4, but same concept for 3. http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2009/custom-login-form-with-group-based-redirection/. Just replace the usage of Decorators with DataExtension.

Thanks again Will!

Implementation doesn't seem to difficult, however im not 100% sure on how to replace the usage of Decorators with DataExtension, Do I just replace the "Decorator word with DataExtension" is there any documentation / threads relevant to this?

Okay sorry to be a pain, I think I understand it,

So does that mean that I would have to change this:
mysite/code/GroupDecorator.php

<?php
class GroupDecorator extends DataObjectDecorator {
}

To this:

mysite/code/GroupDecorator.php

<?php
class GroupDecorator extends DataExtension {
}

Am I on the right track??

Yep

Great!

Also looking further into GroupDecorator.php,

Can "extraStatics()" still be used in SS3??

No, so in 3.* you can now just do normal statics (like you would on the data object i.e private static $db = array()).

Okay so I have spent a little bit of time trying to migrate the code to work with SS3,

I have added new row to the DB before with no hassles, but this time is doesn't seem to be working,

I think where I have gone wrong is "DataExtension", the last time I used private static, the class extended the page template "page.php", where as now it extends DataExtension and I have no idea what that is

<?php
class GroupDecorator extends DataExtension {

private static $db = array(
'GoToAdmin' => 'Boolean',
'LinkedPage' => 'SiteTree'

);

}

The original code for SS 2.3 looked like this:

class GroupDecorator extends DataObjectDecorator {

public function extraStatics(){

return array(
'db' => array(
"GoToAdmin" => "Boolean"
),
'has_one' => array(
"LinkedPage" => "SiteTree"
),
);
}
}

PS: Anyone helping out with this I would like to create a new / update the old guide for a custom login form with group based redirection to help others looking for this solution also.
