Question How to set a specific landing page when member logs in?

@ jessi
you can give the login - page a query string. the query-string can be any url (of your site) and must be url-encoded. So you can reach every page of your site.

the query string depends on if you have pretty urls enabled or not.
example 1 : example 2: p.s.: if you give your site, I'll give you an example. (cause there are users that could not interpret <site> the correct way.)
 

Thank you so much for your guidance, Franz! This sounds encouraging. Pretty URLs are of course really nice although I don't believe I have them enabled on the webtrees site.

I'm still not quite sure how to parse the exact URL upon signing in for reaching the specific person/branch within webtrees, so your further help is much appreciated.
Two things: (1) my website(s) are still in beta mode (2) the webtrees "backend" site is a "members only" one.

Nonetheless, maybe the following will be sufficient to show me how:
The front-end is jenetix.net - there you can click  the menu item "Family Names" to see the main stems arranged as tiles. Only for one of these tiles ("Wedemeyer") I added a specific URL that links to the person I want to show in the webtrees backend ( jenetix.genonline.de/tree/kellerhoff/ind...-Christian-Wedemeyer ) after a member signs in. All other tiles are still without reference to a specific person in the webtrees "backend" ie.  jenetix.genonline.de/

Thanking you in advance for further help here.

Your site is "members only" ?? Then I don't think you need serious alterations in code.

All members have a 'My' page, which is similar to the 'Home' page (which no one sees since you don't allow visitors) so it is configurable with blocks.

After a user is created, make sure you set the default individual for that user, and use the 'masquerade as...' feature from the control panel. Then you can edit 'My Page' and configure it with blocks, for instance a block with a fan chart of ancestors, or tree view of decendants.

Works perfectly! Just what I was looking for.
Vielen Dank, Franz

Thanks Bert.

Thank you - is there any way to change this default behaviour? I also have a family member only site but I want the family members to land on the homepage after they logged in. For now they have to click the little house symbol. Thanks a lot!

This module does just that:  github.com/miqrogroove/family-tree-home

Great, thank you so much.
