After a user logs into Liferay, it is a common requirement to be able to redirect them to a different page based on their Organization or Site membership. This hook allows you to specify the desired redirection behavior using a properties file setting. Based on the properties file, it will redirect the user to their private page, public page, their default site's public/private homepage, or their default organization's public/private homepage.

It's a Custom Landing Page Hook developed in Liferay 6.1.1 GA2. It will allow you to choose on which page user will land on after login. Right now it's having below options for landing page.

Set this property as per your needs for landing page after user log in. It could be from one of the value from below options

1. userPrivatePage
2. userPublicPage
3. sitePublicPage
4. sitePrivatePage
5. organizationPublicPage
6. organizationPrivatePage
7. role
8. userGroup

custom.landing.page.type={userPrivatePage/userPublicPage/sitePublicPage/sitePrivatePage/organizationPublicPage/organizationPrivatePage/role/userGroup} 

This propery need to be set in portal.properties located in Custom Landing Page hook itself. Either you can modify it directly in war. Or you can download the source code from Git repositry and you can build war from source with your desired changes.

Here I'll be showing you how you can use this hook and leverage the flexibility for defining landing page once user logs in.

##1) Download Before going further, make sure you know the version of your current Liferay instance which you want to use Custom Landing Page Hook for. Next, go to Custom Landing Page Hook's [Release section] (https://github.com/opensourceforlife/CustomLandingPage-Hook/releases "Release Section") in order to download the hook for your Liferay version.

Make sure you check the supported Liferay versions for each release before downloading.

##2) Configure Next we need to configure the hook accroding to the need. In order to do that follow below steps.

• Open downloaded CustomLandingPage-hook-*.war using winzip/winrar/7-zip/any other tool
• Go to WEB-INF/classes
• Open portal.properties
• Set the value of custom.landing.page.type property as per your need.
  i.e. custom.landing.page.type=userGroup
• Save the changes to the same war file

1. Site / Organization
If you want any specific page wihtin a Site/Organization be a landing page for that Site/Organization instead of it's default home page(Generally a first page), you can achieve it by creating a custom attribute for Site/Organization and providing required page's friendlyURL.

For,

• Site/Organization's Public page, create custom attribute of type "TextField" with key "landingPagePublic" and define value as page's friendlyURL. i.e. /welcome
• Site/Organization's Private page, create custom attribute of type "TextField" with key "landingPagePrivate" and define value as page's friendlyURL. i.e. /myhome

##3) Deploy Next we need to deploy the updated war. To do that, you can simple drop the war file in Liferay deploy folder.
