    Hi,

    I have been playing around with the plugin but cannot get it so that once the customer logs in it takes them to their own private page.

    I am trying to create a login area with two main pages. Videos and Customer Home.

    The videos page has populates videos that are relevant to the customer. And the customer home page has its own CSS style unique for that page. The plug-in already handles the folder structure very well, in that it creates a folder unique for the customer. I am going to store all the videos in that unique folder.

    I’m not too sure how to set up the login so it re-directs to the videos first. Help please.

  • Hi,

    I am not sure I understand. You have a single physical WordPage for the Customer Area. However, the content of that page changes dynamically depending on the user who is connected. So simply redirect your users to that page.

    If you need better login control, we have the login & register forms premium add-on that should make things look better.

    Hi Vincent,

    Thanks for the reply, sorry my problem wasn’t clear, hopefully this will clear things up.

    From my understanding after playing around with the plug-in a bit, is that the user gets redirected to a single unique landing page that is for them.

    However for the website i am trying to achieve, i need the customer to have two unique (physical WordPress) pages that only they can access (each page to display video and customer home content)

    I am wondering if it is possible to do this using the plug-in and if it is possible to create more than one page per user.

    I don’t think I really get what you need and how the plugin does not do what you want.

    For now, you have two private content types out of the box (files and pages). So you have two “listings” available. Basically if you need one more content type and the corresponding page in the Customer Area, you would need to develop an add-on to do that, it is not available.

    Sorry for the poor explanation, ill try again.

    Basically i am trying to set up a website where i have different number of customers e.g. 10.

    These clients can then log in to their own personal area and they have two options of private content they can view – videos and customer home.

    I want to make it so that when they log on they can click on either the videos page or the customer home page and they will get content that’s only meant for them – so i essentially need two physical wordpress pages but the content displayed on them two pages depends on the user and once they pass the login screen.

    The question i’m asking is that is this possible using customer area or would an additional plug-in/add-on be required. Also what if i wanted more than one physical wordpress page.

    does this clarify things?

    To achieve what you want with as little modifications as possible, you should:

    – Have 2 categories for private pages (videos and other stuff)
    – Customize the Dashboard template so that it directs the user either to the category archive for private pages in “video” or in “other stuff”

    You have the documentation on our page to know more about templates and pages used by the plugin: http://customer-area.marvinlabs.com/documentation

    Plugin uses the WordPress pages simply to hold the shortcode to display private content. So no, you can’t have various pages as of today.

    All I said above can be tried with the main plugin, no need for add-ons in order to make your prototype and see if that works.
