Hi Sikandar,

Which bundle of liferay you are using. Is there 7cogs hook's?

If yes, Please unregister 7COGS HOOKS and then add your custom Web Content.

hi Sikandar,

Please goto Webapps folder in your server.

Here you can find the sevencogs theme and hooks.

Well done Sikandar,


Not to locate portal-ext.properties please

WEBAPPS>ROOT>WEB-INF>CLASSES

Open portal-ext.properties and add following code for making user to land in his Private Work Space every time when he logs in.


auth.forward.by.last.path=false


If you want make singe landing page. It will be common landing page for all users.


default.landing.page.path=/web/guest/login

Thank you Zaheer,

I have searched above your mentioned path, but this file doesn't exist there. I have searched on this path given below.
/var/apache/tomcat55/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes
but inside it there is only org folder then at last there is index_jsp.class file available there. Am i doing something wrong or it might be not available in my liferay version 5.2. Please advise.

Regards,

Sikander

Hi Sikander,

I think you are referring something wrong.

This file is there in liferay 5.2 as well.

You can also refer this forum http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/3997347


Thanks,

Sikandar please make sure u have this directory structue

ROOT
------- |--dtd
------- |--errors
------- |--html
------- |--layouttpl
------- |--META-INF
------- |--wap

Thanks Zaheer for your kind reply.

Now i have created this file in this location as you mentioned.
/var/apache/tomcat55/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes

in the portal-ext.properties i have simply added these two entries to only change my default landing page which appears after successful login and rebooted my server.
auth.forward.by.last.path=true
default.landing.page.path=/web/guest/quick links //is the second page i have added for members only.

but by doing this nothing changes, it go to the same default url after login. I have also tried with example entries of portal-ext.properties mention by someone but nothing changes. Is there any complete code file for portal-ext.properties?

Regards,

Sikander

hi sikander,

# Set this to true if users are forwarded to the last visited path upon
# successful login. If set to false, users will be forwarded to their
# default layout page.
#
auth.forward.by.last.path=true


set false , if you donot want to forward last visited path

#
# Set the default landing page path for logged in users relative to the
# server path. This is the page users are automatically redirected to after
# logging in. For example, if you want the default landing page to be
# [http://localhost:8080/web/guest/login,] set this to /web/guest/login. To
# activate this feature, set auth.forward.by.last.path to true. To customize
# the behavior, see com.liferay.portal.events.DefaultLandingPageAction in
# the "login.events.post" property above.
#
#default.landing.page.path=/web/guest/login

enter your path

Thank you for your quick response.

I have added these two entries in my portal-ext.properties which i created by myself, there is nothing else in the file expect these two entries. but there is no change appearing in default landing page after successful login. The entries are given below.

auth.forward.by.last.path=true
default.landing.page.path=/web/guest/quik-links

Is there anything missing or am i doing something wrong.
