I am unable to get this to work with the Views Module. Basically, I want it to link to a page created by Views, which doesn't have a direct path other than the one in Views. Is there any way around this?

Same issue here - how you can you redirect to a views page?

I don't get the question. Does your view have a page in the site on which one can access it? Is it a page-view or a block view? Whatever it is LoginDestination needs just a url to point to.

It should work with ANY type of url - example:
- turn the filter condition to "Always"
- turn off the checkbox "return users to where they cam from"
- turn on static mode
- use "views_link" in the text box - for a node use "node/34" or "node_alias_of_the_node" (without the quotes)

Screenshot needed?

It is a page view created with the Views module. When I try to link to the page that I created within the Views module (path is "updates"), the page does not redirect, it just goes to the user info page (as it would if this module wasn't even installed).

Since the page was created with Views, there is no option for me to do it with a path such as "node/32". I need to be able to link directly to the page called "updates" created by Views.

Here are the settings I have:
-filter: Always
-Return user: Not Checked
-Static
-node: updates

Other Modules I am using:
Content Access
Administration Menu
Ajax
Ajax Login-Register
Ajax plugin-captcha
Ajax plugin - logintoboggan
Ajax plugin - wysiwyg
Ajax ui
Contact
Database logging
Menu
Path
Profile
Statistics
Update status
ImageAPI
InageAPI GD2
ImageAPI ImageMagick
ImageCache
ImageCache UI
Menu Attributes
Alter profile page
Alternate login
Login Security
LoginToboggan
Nice Menus
Pathauto
SWF Embed
Token
Token actions
Captcha
Image Captcha
Google Analytics
Wysiwyg
Views
Views UI

I know a lot of those shouldn't affect this module, but I figured I'd list them all just in case.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Which LD version u use? Try 2.6 and report back.

In my tests I am able to use arbitrary url - external or internal. node/34 or node_alias.

The last 2 settings should be :
mode: static
text: "updates" (without quotes)

I think I may have run into this issue too. I'm trying to redirect to the Organic Groups view: og/my

Settings I have are:
Redirection: Always
[unchecked] (Preserve destination)
Static URL: og/my

However when a user signs in from the front page, they continue to see the front page.

Your settings should work. Can you verify that if you go to YOURSITE/og/my that this is a valid page?

It is a valid page when signed in. It's the standard My Groups view created by the Organic Groups module.
