Website Logo link for Members

Site URL: https://www.ghoulsmagazine.com

Hello all,

my Website has a Members Area. When a registered members is logged in, i'd like the website Logo to redirect the user to the Members Home Page rather than the regular site Home Page.

Is this possible and if so, I can this be set up please?

Thanks for your help

Hi. Can you provide a test account? We can check easier

Hi @tuanphan

thanks!

@creedon Do you think this is possible/not? Thank you.

Just checked body tag when logged in, no special class to target.

@tuanphan

It is possible with a little Javascript.

 Add the following to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > FOOTER.

Do not use the following code. Find the other, better version of the code elsewhere in this thread.

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    // when member is logged in change url of logo
    
    const url = '/home-1';
    
    // do not change anything below, there be the borg here
    
    if ( ! $( '.user-accounts-link .auth' ).length ) return;
    
      $( '.header-title a' ).attr ( 'href', url );
      
    } );
    
  </script>

This is for a v7.1 site.

For others following along Karkon already has jQuery installed. If you don't then add the following to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > HEADER. 

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @creedon thanks so much for your advise. I copied the below code in the footer.

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    // when member is logged in change url of logo
    
    const url = '/home-1';
    
    // do not change anything below, there be the borg here
    
    if ( ! $( '.user-accounts-link .auth' ).length ) return;
    
      $( '.header-title a' ).attr ( 'href', url );
      
    } );
    
  </script>

it does re-direct the logo to the members home page /home-1  but it looks like it also works when members aren't logged in. I just tried while logged out and it takes me to the access denied page all the time.

Any other suggestion?

thanks

It appears the issue is a bit deeper than my initial testing indicated. 😞

I suggest backing out the code I posted and let me cogitate on the issue. The code being in place was invaluable to further testing how member authentication is functioning as far as the elements on the page go.

Just a quick note for those into the deeper stuff. When the page is first loaded both the auth and noauth class elements are loaded. Then some code comes along and removes the unneeded element depending on if the member is logged in or not.

The jQuery ready document code I wrote runs before the member is/is not logged in code runs. So it always finds the auth class. Of course when I was developing the code I was either logged in or not logged in and the code I ran in the console happened way after jQuery's document ready and the member logged in or not code ran.

I'm thinking Mutation Observer! One of my favorite friends for those ephemeral elements! 🙂 LOL!

Thanks for the quick feedback and for looking into this issue @creedon

Really appreciated!

Hi @creedon I was wandering if you had a chance to think about this issue a bit more?

thanks 🙂

Hi @creedon I tried with this code and so far so good.. it really seems to be working.

Thank you so much man, honestly!!
