Aanyone know how I can redirect the user to your page after login in the module K2 user ?

+ 1 - I cannot believe K2 does have a menu item type of "My Page" which would have a very similar functionality to the built-in Joomla "User Profile" page. Unbelievable.

So after much frustration, and not really wanting to deconstruct K2 - I came up with this solution. Joomla has a menu item type of "User Profile" which redirects a user to his or her profile page. This is the functionality that is non-existent in K2. Lets leverage this functionality and redirect users to the K2 profile. The view for Joomla Users component can be found here:

Copy that file to your template html folder:

And add this code to the top:

Now you can create a menu item of type "User Profile" (located under the User Manager category.

And lastly, go to the K2 Users module and set the Login Redirect page to the menu item you just created. Hope this helps someone.

Thank You !!!

Is it possible to do this with the 'new article' menu item. I am trying to make a main menu item to allow users to "post a new k2 article" .. but there isnt one. I know it is on the module but i just want to make it a main menu item. Thanks for any help :)

Hey. I have abandoned Joomla because after only 2 projects I started to hate my life as a developer. I am now using Expression Engine, as the $250 cost greatly outweighs the days and days of frustration I experienced with Joomla. Sorry this isn't of much help, but if you are being paid for this project, then I suggest taking a day's worth of pay and getting Expression Engine.

@Ryan, Thanks for your contribution. It along with different adaptions of the method will be helpfull to many here, and it is done properly with overrides. Sorry to see you leave, but wish the best for you!

@Ryan... you get paid $250 a day.. way to go man

Iam more than surprised and of cause dissapointed, that even today it seems not possible to create a "my page" menu item without a hack?!

Or is there now a solution out there i missed?

Yes, you can link it to either the User's page (blog) or to the user's profile, which is a default com_users link. K2 will expand that form and the info.
