Hi, please refear to this thread about subscribing to the backend login event.

After successfull login, I wanted to check the loggedin user, check if the user is of type 1 (1=admin, just as example here), and if yes, redirect him to a specific section, e.g. "settings". So I wrote a class as suggested in the thread I mentioned above, as follows:

    public class CustomUsersMembershipProvider : umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider
    {
        public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
        {
            var success = base.ValidateUser(username, password);

            if (success)
            {
                User u = User.GetAllByLoginName(username, false).FirstOrDefault();

                if ((u.UserType.Id == 1))
                {
                    //redirect the user to the Custom Section
                    string redirect = "http://" + HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority + "/umbraco/umbraco.aspx#settings";

                    HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(redirect);
                }
            }

            return success;
        }
    }

But this doesn't work. Asap I login I'm redirected back to the login, so obveiously I'm doing something wrong.

To give you an idea of the result I'd like to achieve, try to login to umbraco by using this url:

http://YourUmbraco/umbraco/login.aspx?redir=%2fumbraco%2fumbraco.aspx%23settings

After you login, instead of arriving, as usual, to the "Content" Section, you will arrive to the "Settings" section. That would be fine for me, but our customer wants the users of a certain type to be automatically redirected to a specific section after login... so ideally this would be done in th code behind...

I also tried, instead of Response.Redirect, to use:

                Page page = (Page)HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler;
                page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(page.GetType(), "redirect", "window.location = 'http://www.google.com'", true);

But it didn't work (tried also to do a alert('hello world'); instead of window.location... but I didn't get any javascript alert window...

Any ideas on how to proceed? Would be appreciated...
