Symphony.

Hi folks,

Wondering if it possible to do a couple of things with author logins.

1. Is it possible to make the default area the "index" instead of a backend section?
2. Is it possible to make the remote login default to the "index" as well?

Thanks.

To be honest, that's what the Members extension is for. Author logins are solely for backend access. What is your use case, in a little more detail?

Yeah, I suppose I should have used the members extension, dangit. This project is just a little hack that will only be used for a week, so I didn't want to invest too much time.

It is just a little judging site for a contest with a login form. The problem is that if they enter the wrong credentials they get Symphony's login and then end up in the backend.

<form action="{$root}/symphony/" method="post">
    <label>Username
        <input name="username" type="text" />
    </label>
    <label>Password
        <input name="password" type="password" />
    </label>
    <input name="action[login]" class="submit" type="submit" value="Login" />
    <input name="redirect" type="hidden" value="{$current-url}" />

RESOLVED.

I put in an ugly hack to manually redirect the Symphony login form on symphony/content/content.login.php

If it was a serious project, I would take the time to use the members extension, but it will only be up for a week.
