I have searched the forums here, but I cannot find any posts relating to what I need to do. Forgive me if this has been covered.
I have a regular joomla installation set up for a "public" side(<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mysite.com">www.mysite.com</a><!-- w -->). The public are not allowed to login or register, only view information.
I need a login form on the public side that will allow members to login based on already entered usernames and passwords and be redirected to a protected subdomain of the site (members.mysite.com).
Creating the login form is the easy part, but how do I use CF to check the user table in Joomla to see if the username ans password already exist, and if they do redirect them to the passworded members section? I have read the tutorial on the custom Joomla Registration, I don't need a registration form, only a login form that checks for usernames and passwords that I will manually enter into the Joomla users table via the backend of Joomla.
Again sorry if this has already been asked and explained but I couldn't find it, and thanks for the help.

Hi averagejoe77,
Unless there is some other reason using ChronoForms for this feels a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The standard Joomla Login does this perfectly well (and includes a 'redirect on login option'); as do some extensions - my personal preference is to use Signal Login which is nicely customisable.

Thanks,
I looked into SignalLogin, and it is more of a glorified default login module. Its great and all, but it, like the default login module, will only redirect me to a page in the current joomla template. I need it to redirect to a password protected subdomain using the same joomla installation. Maybe this is not possible, I am not sure as I am somewhat new to joomla.
I have the Virtual Domains component installed as well, but that doesn't seem to work either.
