Very good tutorial. In my case I need redirect the user after login, according to their permissions. If is administrator goes to CMS admin, if is a student goes to the student profile. I made small modifications in the code to silverstripe 3.0.3: public function dologin($data) { parent::dologin($data); if( $this->controller->redirectedTo() and Member::currentUserID() ) { $member = Member::currentUser(); if(Permission::checkMember($member, "STUDENT_ACCESS")) { $this->controller->response->removeHeader('Location'); $this->controller->redirect(SiteTree::get_by_link('student')->Link()); } else if(Permission::checkMember($member, "CMS_ACCESS_LeftAndMain")) { $this->controller->response->removeHeader('Location'); $this->controller->redirect(singleton('CMSMain')->Link()); } } }

A little bit late on this one , but an easy (albeit very hacky) way of doing it is if you add this to a js file that is called on every page: $('input[name=BackURL]').each(function(){ $(this).val('WHATEVERURLYOUWANT'); }); (obviously requires jQuery, but i'm sure it can be re-written for vanilla javascript) this means you don't have to have a seperate template file for your login and is essentially *global*

Ahh, very interesting! I had never noticed that feature before even though SVN says that Sam added it 2+ years ago: http://open.silverstripe.org/changeset/62653 That is certainly an easier way to direct to an URL segment after login. I suppose you'd only need my snippet above if you had custom logic you'd like to introduce. Thanks Rick, nice catch! Note that setting Security::set_default_login_dest() will always be overridden by the presence of a BackURL=xxxxx URL parameter.

Enjoyed your Snippet! Perhaps a simpler way (to set a site wide redirect after login) is to set the default login destination (e.g. in _config.php): Security::set_default_login_dest('urlsegment'); Though I always try to return to the calling page (after login) by setting a redirect in the login link (e.g. in the page template): Login
