Redirect depending if user is logged in or not

Redirect users to different pages based on login status in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurred because the event switcher was incorrectly configured to check the user ID instead of the guest status.
Use the CF shortcode {user:guest} as the data source in the event switcher, setting the value to 0 for logged-in users and 1 for guests, then assign the corresponding redirect URLs for each condition.

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:
Redirect depending if user is logged in or not image 1

Redirect depending if user is logged in or not image 1

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:

Redirect depending if user is logged in or not image 2

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!
