XF 1.5 Redirect User after email confirmation.

[Okenyon]

Whats the best/easiest away to redirect a user after they click the email confirmation?

Is it done via the template attached?

 

[Jake Bunce]

It would be the register_confirm template.

Thats @Jake Bunce

I'm guessing its in this code:

<div class="baseHtml">
        <ul>
            <xen:if is="{$redirect}"><li><a href="{$redirect}">{xen:phrase return_to_page_you_were_viewing}</a></li></xen:if>
            <li><a href="{xen:link index}">{xen:phrase return_to_forum_home_page}</a></li>
            <xen:if is="{$canEditProfile}">
                <li><a href="{xen:link account}">{xen:phrase edit_your_account_details}</a></li>
            </xen:if>
        </ul>
    </div>

What would I need to edit to redirect to a URL? (sorry I don't code)

Thanks.

 

[Jake Bunce]

Your existing code should work if you place it at the top of that template.

 

[Okenyon]

Sorry @Jake Bunce but what code do I place?

Would you mind kindly showing me, sorry I dont code.

 

[Jake Bunce]

What is the URL you want to redirect them to after confirming their email?

 

[Okenyon]

@Jake Bunce

/account/upgrades

 

[Okenyon]

Any help here please?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Add this code to the top of the register_confirm template:

<xen:container var="$head.redirect">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/account/upgrades'" />
</xen:container>

<xen:container var="$head.redirect">
<meta data-fr-http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/account/upgrades'" />
</xen:container>

Is this code still valid for Xenforo 2 ?

No.

It actually works.

The automatic redirection is working after clicking on the validation link sent in the email, but I am wondering if there is a more suitable code for the current version?

The meta line will still be working, but the <xen:container /> part is printing to your browser and is just being ignored.

So, yes, the redirect will still happen, but the code isn't actually valid for XF 2.

What code would be valid for XF2?
thanks

It seems that only writing

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/pages/Welcome/'" />

is also working properly.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the correct code would be to simply print the headers and the redirect line. I just know the xen:container tags aren't the correct syntax for XF 2.

It seems that only writing

is also working properly.

Yes, that's what I meant by the meta line will still work.
