Yes this topic has been brought up numerous times.
Yes it has ranked high in the feature requests.

But we still don't have the basic feature of being able to stay on the same page after logging in which REALLY destroys the flow of a site. (ie, get notification on topic subscribed to, click link and visit corresponding page, login to participate, get sent to main page or what ever page is set to be sent to and then have to go digging to find where the page is that you want to participate in... very annoying and potential barrier to site activity)

I did a search for this topic and last post was this
www.jomsocial.com/forum/modules-plugins-...ct-after-login#62756

As you can see, the posters question was not addressed (at least anywhere that I could find) and topic was locked after 2 weeks (hmmmm).

I would like to know what files to "hack" and what code needs to be added or removed. I would also like the option added as a feature to remain on the same page so that hacks don't get over-ridden with updates.

Need it be said that this is a basic feature of just about every site that I have ever visited that requires login.

Hello Kane

Thank You for your insights, its really appreciated, however, you need to be aware that "basic" feature for you, might be completely irrelevant for someone else.

However, the "hack" is pretty much simple. You just need to identify the login form that is used for login and remove the redirection. And yes, it can be done with template overrides, however, it would be practically impossible for us to give you any hint how to do that if we dont know what is the login form you refer to. Therefore, please post a screenshot of the login form and ill show you how to do it.

Hi Sinisa,

Thanks for the reply and your willingness to help. I think we can agree that it is pretty much a standard for social sites today that a person remains on the same page after logging in so they can continue with the conversation they were viewing. Of, course there are always exceptions.

I am using Jomsocial's facebook connect which is why I am posting here. I have included a screenshot of the menu login item.

Hello Kane

I presume this is a hellome module therefore please open this file
ROOT/modules/mod_hellome/tmpl/default.php and find this code on line 78

$uri = CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community', false);

$uri = JURI::current();

$uri = CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=' . $config->get('redirect_login'), false);

$uri = JURI::current();
