Hi

Is there clear documentation on how to set up a blog front end management interface?
I am running a blog where our client would like to manage the content himself (as an author) but I would like to avoid them using the Joomla backend interface.

I have a frontend login setup now (Easyblog login) as well as the composer page and the blog list per author but when an author logs in, they are not routed to the My blog listing page, they are routed to the public blog listing page.

How can I force the Easyblog login interface to route the author to his list of blogs?

Thanks
Danny
If I could add a question here; how can I enable the TOOLBAR for certain logged-in users only (authors) ?
Thanks
Danny

Hello Danny,

Ideally, you should just create a menu item that links to the "Dashboard" of EasyBlog. You can restrict the menu item's access to a particular user group.

As for your second question, you can configure the toolbar access in EasyBlog's ACL as you can see from my screen shot here, https://take.ms/onmTz

Thanks, got it
Now my biggest issue is that I would need the EasyBlog login to route to a specific page, the one I am sending the Author to in the first place. Currently, it seems to always want to route the user to the Dashboard but I want it to route the user to his Posts page ?
Thanks
Danny

Currently we doesn't have this login redirection feature for Easyblog login page and toolbar.

Either you modify on the Easyblog core file from JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/toolbar/toolbar.php

LINE 167



$return = base64_encode(JURI::getInstance()->toString());


Replace with your custom page URL



$return = base64_encode("https://site.com/yourCustomPageURL");


Or you can replace to use this "Easyblog - Welcome" module which available for the site admin to set which menu page he want to redirect to.

Hope this will help.
