Hi Horst Fuchs,

The dashboard should be the startpage for registered users, public ones should only be allowed to see a site description and the ES login module....

When you said the startpage for logged user should be ES dashboard, do you mean after user logged into your site and if the user click on 'home' menu item or the user type your site url in browser location, e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com, it bring the user to ES dashboard page? If that is the case, I am afraid this is not possible due to how Joomla menu item works.

I assume right now your 'home' menu item was pointing to Joomla single article type ( com_content article ) and the menu item access was set to 'public'. When your menu item set to 'public', this mean everyone can actually have the access to this menu item. Unless you hack Joomla com_content to detect if the viewer is 'logged-in' user and viewer is currently accessing to article which you've set in your your home menu item ( this also mean view is accessing your home menu item ), then you redirect the user to EasySocial dashboard page.

Maybe there is a better solution to address this but if anyone know, please do share with us
Hope this help and have a nice day

Hi Sam,

I found the following solution. At first I created a start page with only one article and the ES login module and a main menu with the public links. After login my users are directed to the ES dashboard. On this dashboard there is another main menu with exactly the same like on the public start page except the link for the public start page. So nobody is able to click on the link for the public start page.....this works great you only have to "play" with the pages the modules are visible.

The only "issue" I recognized - if a user logs out via the ES toolbar I can redirect him to my special public start page - this works fine. If a user logs out via the ES Sidebar menu this doesn't work....

Hi,

We will investigate the logout issue on the ES sidebar menu module and fix it to obey the settings in the future.

Hi Jason,

Did you have the possibility to approve my issue?

Hi Jason,

just tested, it works fine now! Thanks for your support!

Hi,

You're welcome.

Installed EasySocial, now have double logins, both Joomla/site AND EasySocial. How do I make my site have a single login?

Hello Mikal Keenan,

Sorry for late reply to this,
May i have your temporary Joomla backend access so i can help you configure with this and explain to you what i did after i configured? Please advise.

I disabled the Joomla login. Now the Home page has only the Main Menu with link to Community (ES), but no login. User selects Community from Main Menu => ES login/registration. That's OK for now unless there's a way to make ES use Joomla's login, e.g., to include Pswd AND SecretKey. That would be ideal.

Hello Mikal Keenan,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I have a little bit lost here, do you mean that you would like your site only using the EasySocial login section to access in your site right? If yes, that should be have username and password field display in your login page, but we do not have include the secretKey field when login.

Actually what the secretKey you look like? Is it look like the Joomla backend secret key field?
Also, can i have your Joomla backend access so we can take a look at here? Please advise.
