How can I set a CMP as manager welcome page?

I would like to have a custom manager page open on manager login, rather than the default Welcome page.

Is this possible?

You could try redirecting from the OnManagerLogin event, the component menu is just an action list like ../manager/index.php?a=73 or whatever the cmp is your trying to invoke.

Great idea, that worked

Here’s the plugin code:

OnManagerLogin checked in plugin properties.

Change ’69’ to id of your CMP.

Nice. This is a great option. This will work for me to set a "manager instructions" page as the welcome screen for an older client. Thanks for sharing the plugin lucas!

No problem It’s not perfect though - clicking ’Home’ on the manager menu will still take you to the old welcome page.

I think Revo 2.2 will allow us to customise that page however.

I’ve seen people say that you can’t customize the manager welcome page, but there’s "welcome.tpl" in manager/templates/default, and I found that clearing out all the html except the system check allows me to add in my own (html) and make a custom manager welcome screen.

Edit: I don’t know how to insert chunks from MODx or anything like that into welcome.tpl, it’s just handy to make my own page with static content for the client to see.

Here's the plugin code:

<!--?php
if ($modx--->event->name == 'OnManagerLogin') {
    $path = $modx->getOption('base_url',null,MODX_BASE_URL);
    $modx->sendRedirect($path.'manager/?a=69');
}

OnManagerLogin checked in plugin properties.

Change '69' to id of your CMP.

I don't manage to make it work with MODX Revolution 2.5.0-pl.
It seems that OnManagerLogin do not work at all.
Am I the only one ?

Is it related to this ?

I've alos tried this :

In later versions or MODX, the action no longer has an ID. So editing a resource with the ID of 12, for example, would be:



"resource/update" is the action.

I'm pretty sure that when MODX sees that, it loads the class file manager/controllers/resource/update and calls its process() method.

One way to do one of your own, would be to put a controller class or php file in manager/controllers and create a tpl for it. Then set the welcome_action System Setting to the name of your controller.

Another way to go: The welcome controller loads the user's default dashboard. So you could create a custom dashboard, with or without custom widget(s) and make sure the appropriate User Groups had that set as their dashboard. The controller gives precedence to the User's Primary User group.

The second method would be much easier.
