i'm wondering how i might get the following behavior:
i want my index page to be a 'splash' page. the site is a private one, so any content is only accessible by registered users. all pages other than the index page is restricted to registered users only. after the index page, there is an 'activity center' page which is really the main hub of the site where most people will interact with each other and see what's new and available to them. i want users to be redirected to this page after logging into the site automatically. in the past i had accomplished this on a custom asp .net 1.1 .aspx page with the following in the <head> of the page:
<meta name="forwarder" http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url="<relative url to forward to>">
i'm trying to achieve the same functionality using dotnetnuke and am wondering if there's a way to do it. right now on my main/index page i have a very simple layout that basically has two modules:
1) the login module that is viewable by unauthenticated users
2) a text module that is a welcome message & graphic that is viewable by registered users.
as it stands, half of my desired funcionality is there. the main page is a login box for non-members and displays a welcome message once a user logs in, then all the menu items for page content show up as well. but now i want the page to forward to the hub page (let's call it some page called 'hub'). can i do some response.redirect or other mechanism within a module? what are my options here?
any ideas?
let me know if any of this needs to be explained more or if i'm being unclear in my requirements. any and all help is greatly appreciated!
