Hi, is it possible to redirect users to a welcome page the first time they login? With subsequent logins taking them straight to their profile pages?

Not sure if this is possible without something custom. How are you verifying their signups?
Thanks

Hi Paul, I'm creating their accounts for them then sending them the login info.
The site is only for a very small group, so not worth making a custom redirect, i'll just tell them to go to the page instead.

Thanks for your input!

In that case try adding this at the top of your skin's profile_header.tpl template -

{if !isset($_user['user_has_logged_in'])}
	{jrCore_array name='_x' key='user_has_logged_in' value=1}
    {jrCore_db_update_item('jrUser', $_user['_user_id'], $_x)}
    {jrCore_location("`$jamroom_url`/new_user_welcome_page")}
{/if}

Its a bit of a sprag in that it updates the user's datastore directly, but it works!!
Set the jrCore_location URL to wherever your welcome page is.

You could probably get by without updating the database if you used the
user_last_login
key instead.

If that is 0 then they haven't logged in. so
{if isset($_user['user_last_login']) && $_user['user_last_login'] == 0 }
    {jrCore_location("`$jamroom_url`/new_user_welcome_page")}
{/if}
might be worth a go too.

That was my first thought Michael but user_last_login does get set to the current time upon login

Ah, right. We're too late to use that. gotcha.
