SM2 Registered Redirect 1.0 Plugin

This plugin is designed to allow Registered Joomla! users to be redirected from one page to another.

If you have Content or Components that you no longer want a Registered Joomla! user to see once they are logged into the site then SM2 Registered Redirect Plugin is ideal.

Installation steps:

1. Install the Plugin
   Like any other Joomla! Bot go to the Mambot Installer and install the Plugin.
   
   • Installers > Mambots
   • Browse to the installation file then Upload
   
   
2. Configure the Plugin
   In the Mambots > Site Mambots edit the Mambot and enter some Parameters.
   
   • In the Registered Redirect enter the url followed by the Seperator (| by default) then the redirect url, one per line.
     i.e. http://sm2extensions.com/content/1/1/|
     http://sm2extensions.com/content/2/2
   • If required enter similar redirection information in the Special Redirect. The Special Redirect will fire if the logged in user is a Special Joomla! user. i.e. Author or above.
   • Make sure the Mambot is Published
   • Save or Apply the changes.
   
   
3. Add the Triggering Point.
   For SM2 Registered Redirect to work correctly it needs to be triggered. To do this we add the following to the start of each Joomla! template:
   <?php $_MAMBOTS->trigger('onBeforeView'); ?>
   
   To Edit a Template go to Site > Template Manager > Site Templates, select the desired Template and Click Edit. Enter the code above as the first line in the template and then click Save.

SM2 Bot Session 1.0 Plugin

This plugin is designed to beat the corrupted session table problem that can occur. 

It has often been a source of bafflement for some Mambo/Joomla! Developers based on the number of times it appears as a topic on the forums.

Due to the way that Mambo/Joomla! has been programmed, the session table is only ever cleaned up when a administrator logs in to the backend... for a lot of sites this may not ever happen, or happen infrequently - creating large session tables.

Also, when it does run it only does a delete. However the SM2 Session Plugin will do a delete, check and even repair if necessary. This reduces the overhead also.

The mambot runs from the frontend of the site, ensuring that the session table is cleaned up more often. By default, it will randomly run 1 in a 100 requests. You can also force it to run every time, or by using a link variable that will force it to run if given the right secret word.

All configurations is done in the Mambot Parameters.

Installation is easy. Simply install as you would any other mambot.

To get this Plugin to run in Mambo 4.5.x you need to add the following to all of your templates

<?php $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'system' );  $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onStart' ); ?>
