Is there a way to provide deferent home pages for individual users? This could be based on Security role or per user.

What I’m trying to do is send users to  their home page upon login instead of site home page.

thanks

What exactly do you mean by "their" home page?! I presume you want people to customize the site and "personalize" it? There are a number of solutions for this that have been described in the past. Search the forums and www.snowcovered.com if you've a budget. One old post gave away the secret for free though I can't put my hands on it right now. Also see:

There are several other posts about this topic.

Essentially the idea is that you have someone who registers, and based off of what they select, you want to be able to assign them to a Role Group or a Role.  Then, based off of what role you assign them to, it will determine which page is displayed as the Home page when they login again.

Here is (hopefully) a clearer example: I have a generic website, but two different kind of user types that I want to register (A and B).  Based off of the user input during registration, I want to assign them to a role so that I can assign visibility of new pages.  So far, no problem.  However, when a user who has been assigned to Role logs in, I want the "new" page (assigned to their role) to display first as the home page (as it has the "new" information that I want them to see).

As far as I can tell, there is no way to assign a default home page based off of an assigned role.  I do see a selection under User Settings for a default Home page, but that seems to be a generic setting.  Furthermore, when I do set it to a specific page, it doesn't work.  Anyway, I see that there are several posts about this in other threads, so this seems to be a common issue.  Any assistance or clarification is appreciated.

I found a TrafficDirector at snowcovered.com that fixed this problem. This is what I did: I put the traffic director module on the login page and made it only visible to registered users. With the traffic director module you can tell the program where you want it user to go to. So, first...you set up your user. Make them a page. Then go into configure (you have to be logged in as host) in your traffic director module. Click add. This is where you can tell it where each user gets to go. Here is the link to the module: http://www.snowcovered.com/snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&PackageID=4697 It is $19.99 but it is well worth it, believe me, after all the headaches of trying to figure this out. Snowcovered was also very good about responding to my questions. Hope that helps.
