Is this still the recommended way to send logged in users to a particular page?
I was looking for how to send my logged in users to a particular page, and eventually found this thread after a fair bit of time searching. So I'm just echoing a desire to see this (I suspect) very common case addressed in the W2P documentation somewhere – unless it has been, and I just haven't found it yet. It's always questionable to find an answer to this kind of problem in a thread like this – I believe it probably works (or did work 2 years ago), but always want to know what the "official" method is. :) On Thursday, December 6, 2012 7:06:14 AM UTC-8, Kostas M wrote: > > Peter, I agree with you 100% regarding the ambiguous documentation, and > the lost time back and forth, among google searches and source code > reading...
