Redirect / for non-logged in users?

[Yuun]

And it works quite nicely! Thanks @riking and @JSey for your little plugin that I’ve been using up until now.

Now that his patch has been integrated how can I implement on my site? I would like to direct logo click to /latest and make categories the first landing page to help new users.

Thanks

[Yuun]

Just copy and paste riking’s script here into </head> in Admin -> Customize -> CSS/HTML to have the logo redirect to /latest.

<script>
  var HomeLogoComponent = require('discourse/components/home-logo').default;
  HomeLogoComponent.reopen({
   targetUrl: function() {
       return '/latest';
   }.property(),   
  });
</script>

To make categories the landing page, go to Admin -> Site Settings -> Basic Setup and make categories the first entry in the list for the top menu setting.

Works a treat

Thanks so much for quick reply.

My new forum setup is coming along nicely

Uh - and @Yuun’s code broke again:

Error: Could not find module discourse/components/home-logo

Where did that disappear to? Did a quick recursive grep, but came up with nothing?!

It’s broke because the new header.

Help us test the new header code!

I’ve just merged another client side performance improvement for Discourse. Our site header has been re-written using the widget code that gave us a huge performance increase within topics. The site header is present on every page and our benchmarks showed that it often took up 1/4 of the initial rendering time of a Discourse page. With the new code, it renders roughly 8x faster than before, which should be a significant improvement on android devices. Since this is a major re-write, the odds …

[JSey]

Yup, seen that, thanks. I guess I will x-post my question there since it belongs to that new addition.

I’ve added a new widget setting to customize that url in this commit:

Add a widget setting for the home logo url

Here’s an example of how to use it via a customization:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4">
  api.changeWidgetSetting('home-logo', 'href', '/new-url')
</script>

Just replace /new-url whatever you want the path to be and you should be good to go.

[Falco]

I want to change the behavior of the home logo only when users are at my home page (window.location === ‘example.com/forum/’).

Should passing a function as the third parameter work?

[eviltrout]

Hmmm, how did you do that before? I thought targetUrl was just a parameter?

[JSey]

Thanks a lot Robin - looks great. Only that the snippet you posted just gives me this error:

TypeError: Attempted to assign to readonly property.

or, on Chrome:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'href' of undefined

…and makes the whole header disappear.

I guess I’m just missing something here?

[eviltrout]

Did you get the latest master first? I tried it locally and it worked fine.

[JSey]

That’s the first thing I did before trying it! Is there a special section where I have to put the script code?

[eviltrout]

Aha it seems the tests-passed branch failed to build due to a failing test. I’m fixing it now.

edit: fixed the test. Give it 15-20 mins and it should have a new version for you.

[Falco]

Sorry, this was done in a hurry

  window.goToPortal = function() { 
      if (window.location.href === 'https://example.com.br/forum/') { 
          window.location = 'https://example.com.br';
      }
  };

  var HeaderView = require('discourse/views/header').default

  HeaderView.reopen({
    didInsertElement : function(){
      this._super();
      Ember.run.scheduleOnce('afterRender', this, this.afterRenderEvent);
    },
    afterRenderEvent : function(){
      var logo = $('img#site-logo.logo-big').parent()[0];
    
      logo.addEventListener('click', window.goToPortal, false);
    }
  });

Can you help me @eviltrout ?

[JSey]

Like a charm. Thanks!

[eviltrout]

Hmmm that is a little complicated to establish in the new settings. Does adding that event work in the case where the url is not https://example.com.br/forum/ ? It seems the click handler would do nothing.

[Falco]

It seems the click handler would do nothing.

Yes, when the user isn’t at the forum home, I want the normal behavior (scroll up / go back to home).

Only when we are already at the forum home, I want to go back to my Portal home.

[eviltrout]

It’s quite tricky to do what you’re asking, because once an event is handled from the logo it prevents default.

I’ve added the ability for the href setting to be a function. Whatever value you return will be the destination when the user clicks the logo:

Allow the `href` setting to be a function.

[Falco]

Should this work?

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.4">
  api.changeWidgetSetting('home-logo', 'href', function() { 
          return 'https://example.com.br';
  });
</script>

EDIT:

Setting it to ‘/another/page’ when using Discourse under ‘/forum’ also breaks .
