Hi Everyone,

Relatively new to Drupal. I had been using the Advanced Front page module to redirect the Authenticated users to there profile pages(user/x) directly. And had one same node(node/1) as front page for the role of Administrators and Anonymous user. But now when i wanted to change some of these stuffs, I find that the Authenticated Users front page assigned is not showing up and still continuing with the user/x page itself as the home page after logging in.

One more mentionable aspect is that, since all the three roles i spoke about need to be assigned the same Home page, i also tried disabling the module and assigning the node which i wish to be the front page for all the roles as 'Promoted to Front Page'. But still there is no change at all.

What is the Actual problem and how can i solve it? Desperately seeking the solution as fast as possible. Is the Advanced Front page module not working properly.

Then why use the front module, lol. In any case, the way to assign a single node to be the front page is by entering it in the 'default front page' field on the admin/settings/site-information,

I have Annon, authenticated, founder, student.
It seems that when some one logs in that they will need to click the HOME icon and it will take them to the correct site. Otherwise only the first page comes up. IE. it doesn't automatically redirect to, say, the mastercalendar page or node/14.
Ideas?

Tried doing that. But that does'nt work either. I just removed that Advanced Front page folder from the modules Folder and changed the 'front_page' (This is what we will be having when we are using this module) in admin/settings/site-information to the single node address that we want all roles to be redirected to. I'm shocked as to why this is not working either.

Please do get back soon. Looking for the solution for a long time now.

Thank You

What exactly are you entering into the setting at site-information? What exactly do you see?

We have http://192.168.0.100/fuutuu/?q=front_page.., there in site configuration, when we are using the Advanced Front Page module which i believe is correct. But once I have disabled the module, then we remove that 'front_page and mention node/x , for we want node/x to be the front page irrespective or User role. But surprise that this is not working.

Hope I made it clear this time around.

When you use "node/x"-- what do you get? What does "not working" mean?

Not working-- I suppose we give the node/x to have that node as the Home page for all user roles, be it the Administrator, anonymous user or an Authenticated user. What is happening with me is, when we view the site as an anonymous user then I get the node/x as the home page which is what i want as well. But when a user logs in he is redirected to his Profile page rather than the same node/x which has to be the Home page one user logs in as well. The same with authenticated users.

However, as we know that the site logo and the name on clicking takes us to the Home page of the site by default, when i click on those, i am redirected to the node/x which means that is considered the Home Page somewhere.

Much better-- those are the kind of details we need to troubleshoot. Saying something 'doesn't work' is tantamount to useless.

From what you describe, the home page is being set properly. That's not where the problem is.

Where do the users login? The login block on the front page? The login block on another page? The /user page?

If they login from the login block on the front page, there's something amiss because what you describe is not default behavior. If they login from /user and they are shown their account page, that is correct default behavior and you'll have to use something like login_destination or logintoboggan to set the home page as the default redirect after logging in.

Happy to say that it's working fine now. User login was from the /user page and that was redirecting to the profile pages user/x , and this you said is the correct behaviour. So as u had suggested, i used the login_destination module. Everything working fine now.

Thanks Again
