X3 Photo Gallery Support Forums
Ok, so for clarity, this is for the frontend. About the PROTECT options, this is for protecting specific pages ... The login would only appear if the visitor tries to navigate to the protected page ... and if they do that, they would already be on the page they navigated to.holli10 wrote:However, I need a solution for the frontend (the actual website), i.e. for the users who are created in the panel under "Protect". Here, the authentication window appears when a protected page is called. After successful login, a customer/user specific redirect should be made to a subfolder. The customer/user should not see the panel itself. I would like to use this in connection with a customer-specific photo gallery and the possibility of ordering selected photos via the cart plug-in.
This would have to be some kinda customization. X3 doesn't show login prompt, until visitor navigates to a page that is password protected. Also, even if we use the existing X3 "users" (protected), how would X3 know what page to redirect to?holli10 wrote: Yes, exactly that. A login button or corresponding menu item (customer/user login) with redirect to user-specific page.
It's not clear what you mean "The actual page to be displayed" ... They will arrive on ONE page. If they land on a page that only shows "successful login", they would then need to navigate to the subfolder. Why not just redirect directly to the page where you want them to land? If you are going to build some custom login mechanism, it might already be able to display som "login success" message during login.holli10 wrote:The login page itself is password-protected, but in principle it should only show that the login was successful. The actual page to be displayed would then be a subfolder directly below it for each customer.
You don't need to send each customer their specific link, you can just send them a link to a page where the different customer galleries are shown and they can login into their own. That's how I handle it right now: https://hochzeiten.danielbollinger.de/kunden/holli10 wrote:From my point of view, it would be inconvenient to send each customer their own specific customer link directly. It is easier to tell the customer to log in on the website and then be redirected directly to their customer-specific page.
