  • 1.  Re-direct at Log On

    Posted Feb 09, 2017 12:00 PM

    Is there a way to redirect users to a HTML page at log on? The reason being, we want to show a "new features" page that will be updated every time we release. The re-direct only needs to happen the first time a user visits the page after each release.

     

    Would it be possible using something similar to the web.xml edit described below?

    Many thanks,

    How about an "application solution" for your use-case;

     

    Perhaps you could put a portlet (NSQL/HTML) on the home page with the "new release" information - logic in the portlet (based on "last login" perhaps) could work out whether the user has seen the message or not 

    Turn the portlet off when you don't have anything to say.

    Hi David,

     

    Thanks for your quick repsonse - we've actually had a solution similar to this going for a couple of months, but we find people don't take enough notice and miss out on explanations of new features. So we want to have a more 'in your face' solution to limit the number of queries that come in to our support time.

     

     

    Many thanks,
