title: controlling where registered users land on login in Joomla
body: <p>I am not quite a novice yet in Joomla but I am working my way up to that level of expertise!  </p>
  
  <p>I have never used Joomla and I have a friend who's asked if I can help with their website.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, they have a members area which registered users can access however, when a registered user logs in, they see the default home page for the website instead of the members home page which they have created specifically for the members.</p>
  
  <p>What is the simplest way to redirect users on login to go to the members home page instead of the default public home page?</p>
  
  <p>They currently have a menu item which is called "Member Login" which is of type "User >> Login" which has an Access level of "Public" - I have set the variable "Login Redirection URL" as follows:</p>

  <p>I have also tried configuring the module mod_login by setting the Login Redirection Page as follows:</p>

  <p>But neither of these have changed the login behaviour.</p>
  
  <p>The Article I am redirecting to is "Members Home Page"  - This page has an Access level of "Registered"</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be wonderful?</p>
