Redirect from the Login Page

Hi,

Currently on my website: When customers login they are redirected to my main page.

What I would like: For customers to be redirected to their shopping cart after loging in.

Is this possible? I realize it probably only requires changing a link in some file, but I don't know the file or the code to look for.

Thanks for any help!

Actually, the login will take you to many places depending on where you were when you tried to login ... providing that location is "known" based on navigation history ...

You can make it that when the location is not known that you go to the shopping_cart or that you go to the shopping_cart when there is something in the shopping_cart to see ...

You would need to edit the:
/includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

NOTE: there is NO override for this ... so you should backup the original file and your changes for when you upgrade ...

Can you make it so that once they login, it ALWAYS takes them to the "My Account" page, no matter where they were before they logged in and even if they are on the way to checking out? (i have my reasons)

Thank You.

Sorry, I have it working now.

craftzombie,

Can you post your solution to this problem because I am wanting to do the same thing, but for some reason can't seem to figure it out.

/includes/modules/pages/login/header_php.php

Find this:$_SESSION['cart']->restore_contents();add this below it:```
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'));

Dr Byte,

I tried that and it still takes me to /index.php?main_page=index. I'm wanting it to take them to the "My Account" page. I assume that's probably a simple variable switch, but I wasn't sure if that code put in that location would help my situation.

Use FILENAME_MY_ACCOUNT instead then.

If that's not working, then please list all contributions you've installed, as well as all customizations you've made to your site.

Hmmm... strange things are happening. Because now everything works as it should. Maybe it heard your footsteps coming! :)

Do those files take time to update on the servers or something? I had flushed my cache and cookies and just about everything else that I could from memory so that it was forced to get fresh info everytime, but it seems like it just needed some time.
