Redirect depending if user is logged in or not

pat01 18 Mar, 2019

Hi

After submitting a form I want the user redirect to
URL A if the user is not logged in
URL B if the user is logged in.

I guess I need the event switcher for this. But how do I get if user is logged in or not and how to set this up in event switcher?

Thanks a lot.

Hi pat01,

You can use a CF shortcode to get the User ID and check if it is set - then use the result with the Event Switcher.

Adding a Debugger action temporarily will let you see how the User ID is set in the form data.

Hi Bob and thanks

I dont' understand on where to get the User ID.

I use a PHP Action named kuid:
$kuid = {user:id}

This obviouslly is not working.

In the event switcher I use:

Not sure if this is correct?

Thanks a lot.

No, should be

0
1

And data source should be {user:guest}
If they're not logged in guest will be 1.

It now looks like this:

If user is not logged in, redirect is working to URL A: index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=101

If user is logged in, user gets redirected to /?chronoform=myformname&event=submit
instead of URL B: index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=101

I did test URL B and it is correctly working.

So redirect B is not working. Why?

You should be using an event switcher, not a switch, and it should be the way I said. But do you need to REDIRECT or do you need to EVENT LOAD?

I use an Event switch already. But I had A:1 and B:0 instead of just 0 and 1. Now it works!

Thank you!
