Help with Log In!

[charlesroper]

Here's the deal. I've searched the Zen Cart forums and can't find an answer anywhere.

When a customer clicks "Log In" and enters their credentials, they are logged in but are immediately redirected to the homepage. I would prefer that when a customer logs in, they are taken to their account page where they can see orders that they've placed and can check on their order status.

Many customers log in every time they visit the site and complain that they can't figure out how they can view order status or update their information (they assume that just by logging in, they should be directed to their personal information) so they call me and have me guide them through it. This is taking up a lot of my time throughout the day and I thought it would be so much simpler if I could just specify in the script somewhere that the default page after login is the "My Account" page.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Zenners!

You can try this with copies in your overrides folders and if wrong just delete and the core files will be used and you can start with fresh copies.
In a copy of includes/modules/pages/login/ header_php.php find

      if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot) > 0) {
        //    $back = sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2;
        //if (isset($_SESSION['navigation']->path[$back]['page'])) {
        //    if (sizeof($_SESSION['navigation']->path)-2 > 0) {
        $origin_href = zen_href_link($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['page'], zen_array_to_string($_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['get'], array(zen_session_name())), $_SESSION['navigation']->snapshot['mode']);
        //            $origin_href = zen_back_link_only(true);
        $_SESSION['navigation']->clear_snapshot();
        zen_redirect($origin_href);

Replace the red code with

    zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'));

I think that this will net what you want but I have not tested this

In the bottom of every page there is "My Account" this can also be put on the top (maybe the sides too) it is controled at admin->tools->easy pages
