In the code I posted, try replacing Quote:

if(!$user->guest && $user->lastvisitDate == "0000-00-00 00:00:00")
{
echo "Redirect First Login Test";
die;
}

with:Quote:

echo "Redirect First Login Test";
die;

Best,

Quoting Josh:

I tried using the debug you posted. One thing I noticed though was that your example did not have an opening "" tag. Not sure if that matters.

Yes, the comment system removes certain tags like that.

Quoting Josh:

Regardless, I replaced the code in redirectfirstlo gin.php with what you provided and I did *not* receive the echo on the screen.

Any ideas where to go from here?
Should anything else be calling "onLoginUser" besides the redirect plugin? If not, I can do a text search on all of the files in my install to see if that's the case.

Other plugins can be acting on that event, however if they prevent the redirect plugin from firing before the user last login date is set, the redirect plugin won't fire. Have you tried changing the order of the redirect plugin so that it is the first user plugin?

Hi Josh,

Normally the way I debug it is to put an echo state and then a die statement in the plugin to see if is being fired on that system event. That might be a good place to start.

Once installed, you can change plugins/user/redirectfirtlog in.php to Quote:

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

jimport( 'joomla.plugin.plugin' );

class plgUserRedirect FirstLogin extends JPlugin
{

function onLoginUser($us er, $options)
{
global $mainframe;

$user = &JFactory::getUs er();

if(!$user->guest && $user->lastvisitDate == "0000-00-00 00:00:00")
{
echo "Redirect First Login Test";
die;
}
}
}

I just tested that in a fresh install of 1.5 and it seems to work fine.

Hope that helps!

Hi Josh,

My guess would be that the OSE Login Module is hijacking the onLoginUser event, which is the same event that this plugin uses. Does this plugin work fine without the OSE Login Module? Also, does the lastloginDate entry ever get updated after the user logs in?

Best,

Matt

Hi Marinos,

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, registering and logging in are two separate issues when it comes to Joomla. This plugin redirects after they are logged in, which does not happen automatically with Joomla's default registration process. If you want a seamless registration process that also logs in the user immediately after they register and then are redirected to a specific page, you need to look a third-party registration component like ccUsers for the registration portion and this plugin to redirect their first visit.

Best,

Matt
