Quickie : what's the best place (EP 3.1) to determine the screen that 
users see after a successful login? I'd like it to depend at least on 
user or user type (Review for editors, Admin for admins, etc.) and 
possibly also on dynamic criteria (for example, Items if inbox not empty).

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

Anything below cgi/users/ goes through Apache::Login which requires the 
user to login before they are shown the page they requested.

The Login link comes from phrases/dynamic.xml.

I think what you mean is to change the Login link to link dynamically.

You could change the Login link to point to /cgi/users/login and modify 
the login script to redirect to different places depending on the user type:

if( $session->current_user->get_type eq "admin" )
{
$url = $session->get_url( host => 1, path => "cgi" ) . 
"/users/home?screen=Review";
}
etc.

Cheers,
Tim.
