Is it possible with this module to redirect users on a multi-user blog site to their personal blog when they log in? If this is not possible using this blog, then does anyone have any advice? I tried using actions/trigger modules to redirect users when logged in, but I couldn't get that to work. Any help would be appreciated.

To be a little more specific, I know it is possible to redirect a user to a static url when they log in with this module, but I am wondering if you can redirect users to a variable url (such as their blog page)?

Try using the 'Me' Alias module: http://drupal.org/project/me
It works great for exactly what you are describing.
Even though the D6 module is offically still in development, I'm using it on my site successfully.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look at it, but to be honest I really don't like using modules that are still in development. I have had problems before. I appreciate your input though.

hi iroar...

The front page module doesn't control login destination, but, a simple PHP snippet on the front page for authenticated users that redirects them to their own personal blog would work if your login is setup to automatically bring them to the front page of the site on login. btw..have you looked at the login_destination.module? That might be a more efficient way of doing it.

if it's of interest...I created a small module a while back for a large blogging site that was called quicklinks - it allowed users to specify their own "front page" for a site and tailor their own bookmarks menu. It's for an older version of drupal if it's of any use. let me know.

closing this as it's not really related to the front page.module. please open back up if you think it's worth a feature request.
