I’ve always wondered how to do this. After users login to your Joomla 1.6 website you can redirect registered users to a designated landing page. This will be useful if you have a special News bulletin, a survey or a customized splash page that you want registered users to see/read or answer after they login. The page must be an internal page link in your website and not an external one. You can set a landing page in your Menu Manager:
These steps are assuming you have the default Joomla 1.6.3 installation:
1. Login to your Joomla 1.6 administrator backend.
2. Click on ‘Menus’, ‘Main Menu’, Edit your ‘Login’ menu item.
3. Under ‘Basic Options’, set “Login Redirect” = <insert the URL of the landing page>
After you save your options, try logging into your Joomla 1.6 website. You will be redirected to a landing page specified in step 3.
Hope that helps,

Hi, I am trying to redirect a joomla login group to an article not available via the menu pages, ie a secret area, and hence it is not shown on the login redirect dropdown list and there is nowhere to put a direct url link?
How do I do it please
Hi Dave,

Thanks for your visit,
