JED: System - Nomad

NOMAD IS NOT LOGIN REDIRECTION! Nomad is HOMEPAGE redirection. Looking to create a tailored homepage for your logged-in Joomla users? "System - Nomad" is the perfect plugin for the job, offering a unique solution to customize homepages without interfering with login redirection. Let’s be clear—System - Nomad is not a login redirection tool! Instead, it empowers you to craft alternate homepages for users based on their login status, ensuring a personalized experience for your audience.

How It Works

With "System - Nomad," administrators can define homepage redirects with unparalleled flexibility:

Global Settings: Set a default alternate homepage for all logged-in users.
Group-Specific Homepages: Assign unique homepages for specific user groups, catering to their needs or roles.
Individual User Homepages: Customize homepages for individual users, offering a truly bespoke experience.

Plugins

Nomad
v5.0.7

Joomla! 3/4/5

The plugin checks for these settings in order—user, group, then global—redirecting to the first applicable value it finds. If no setting applies, users see the standard Joomla homepage. Importantly, this plugin only affects logged-in users; visitors who aren’t logged in remain on the normal homepage, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone.

Why Choose System - Nomad?

Unlike login redirection tools, "System - Nomad" focuses solely on post-login homepage customization, making it ideal for creating targeted content or dashboards for different user segments. There are no limits to the number of assignments you can create, giving you endless possibilities to enhance user engagement. To avoid any confusion (as I’ve heard feedback suggesting otherwise), let me emphasize again—System - Nomad is not designed for login redirection—it’s all about personalizing homepages for logged-in users.

Features

Logged-In User Homepages: Set alternate homepages for users after they log in.
Group-Level Customization: Tailor homepages for specific user groups with precision.
User-Level Flexibility: Assign unique homepages for individual users, no matter their group.
Seamless Integration: Works effortlessly within Joomla, leaving non-logged-in visitors unaffected.
Multilanguage Support: One or many languages, Nomad is ready to enhance your user experience.

Elevate your Joomla site with "System - Nomad"—the smart choice for administrators who want to deliver personalized, engaging homepages. Ready to transform your user experience?

Fantastic!!!

This module couldn't have come at a better time! It's simplicity is amazing! Simply set up your user parameters as normal with standard Joomla! tools, then make sure this plugin is activated in the Plugin Manager, and edit it there. Works just like it says! Saweet! Per user is the best thing since sliced bread!

Simple and effective

2012-02-22 - Mario

Congratulations to the simplicity of execution and idea.
I discovered a bug in version 1.4. Enabling the plugin disables the other extension to the Content Templater Frontend users. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/code-snippets/7152

If you wouldn't mind contacting me, I'd like to chase down that bug you've found. More information could be helpful. Go to my site and hit the contact button at the top any page.

Simple and so effective

Such a simple but useful little plugin. It works exactly how it should with minimal fuss.

Support is also excellent. I ran into a slight problem with SEO and the developer responded immediately with a fix.

Excellent Support too

2012-03-12 - DrinkedIn

This plugin does what it says... and about a month into my Joomla 2.5 development, I noticed a problem with certain AJAX behavior. The developer jumped right in and immediately came up with a fix - lightening fast!

Great extension.

Great plugin!

2012-03-30 - Edward Barkey

Wicked! This was exactly the type of plugin that I was searching for!! Many thanks to the developer!

Great

I have been using JED for over two and a half years without writing a review so imagine how good, emphasize on GOOD, this plugin is for me to actually write one. It took me less than a minute to set up and get running, almost no effect on the loading time and a breeze to understand.
It's extensions like these that makes me fall in love with Joomla all over again.

excellent contribution

2012-07-23 - Jesus Lopez

Hi, I found very useful your plugin, just what I needed, install it in joomla 2.5.6 vesion, I can login! Correctly and redirects me correctly, the problem is that it will not let me close the assignment of the user, and returns to load the same page, thanks

Reply

Could you email me? I don't understand what you're describing.

Worked right away!

2012-07-30 - Pablo Molina

This is an excellent extension. Almost all the components, modules and plugins provide an URL field, which is somehow difficult to obtain, and promt to errors upon copy and paste.

This is a must have if your only need is for a login redirect for groups and users.

Great interface, can add as many redirections as needed.

Perfect!

2012-09-07 - Jeff Tham

This extension is so simple it's crazy! I've been looking for something to simply redirect users based on groups and couldn't find anything until I found your extension. Thank you so much for making things easy!

Great plugin if you want registered users to see a different homepage.

2012-11-21 - rickmatt

My site design really needed to encourage users to register on the home page. But after registration, I didn't want to continue to ask users to register.

This plugin does that. Simply load the plugin, then activate it and two clicks to set up your rule and it works! It took less than two minutes from download to implementation.

Just Brilliant! Works first time

2013-03-01 - lee tempest

Don't waste money on anything else, this plugin is exceptional. Installed, configured and up and running within 5 minutes. BRILLIANT!

Michael is amazing

2013-03-20 - Bryan Choo

I needed some help so I posted on their support forums. Michael went BEYOND most developers, taking the time to leave a lengthly reply to my situation.

I wanted some additional functionality unique to my site so he suggested coding a custom plugin at a really reasonable rate. Before I could agree, he sent me another email saying that actually another developer has already done a commercial plugin like that for cheaper, and he linked to the page.

A stand up and skilled developer who provides top notch service and plugins.

Honesty is the best policy. Those who have kids will understand what I mean when I say that I always try to set the best example. I may have lost a few dollars in development work, but I did what was right and felt good about doing it. And I have an answer to your other question too. emailing soon.

Worked for me

2013-03-28 - Nicholas

Had a little trouble at first. Turned out I hadn't set my login module to redirect to home page. Once it was set properly it all worked fine. Was a handy replacement and improvement for a module that did this in 1.5.

Very usefull

2013-03-28 - maueug

Really usefull this extension. I had some problems in the beginning because you must set redirect of your login module (after login...) to HOME PAGE, otherwise it don't works. Only one problem : the redirection is not to the page, but to the article of the page! (So you can't have modules on the page (exemple : logout....) on the same operation. But great function and I thanks.

Reply

I think you're confused, or don't know how to configure your site for this extension. Redirection is to a menu item, and that menu item (page) can most certainly contain modules. This plugin is designed to send users to an alternate homepage when the home link is clicked. Additionally, redirect-after-login isn't a feature of this extension, but it can be achieved if your login module is configured to send users to the homepage. You're negatively impacting my extension rating based on things the extension isn't designed to do.

worked straight away

2013-03-31 - Ian Jackson

I found this very easy to install and then set up. Worked first time and I now have neat homepage for registered users. Simple and yet so useful. Nice work!

Simple and Efficient

2013-06-20 - Madison Chase

I downloaded three different Login Redirects tonight. I'm using Community Builder's login module. This plugin worked seamlessly.

Additionally, I like the fact that is isn't a heavy component doing the work. It is just a plugin. Thank you!

Brilliant Plugin

2013-12-07 - Andrew Murray

Very useful plugin, I have been looking for a while now for a plugin specifically that allows a "home" page to be assigned to individual users, not just users in a particular "group" or user level.

This is the only one I have found that does exactly as I needed.

It is easy to install and configuration is straight forward.

Quality products from this developer - I also use Admin Exile and a few others.

Fills a niche

2014-05-24 - chris clay

I'm building an intranet and wanted a login page as the home page for the public and a totally different home page for logged-in members. This little plugin did the trick perfectly! Very easy to install and configure... Highly recommended if you need multiple home pages.

Exactly what I needed!

2014-05-25 - Margaret

This plugin does exactly what it says - you can create an extremely granular login system that allows each user or group of users to be sent directly to the content of greatest interest to them. Nice piece of code - perhaps Joomla will include this in the core next time :-)

Simple, and perfect

2014-07-09 - dave root

This is exactly what I wanted, and needed, to complement my website - we have our staff, and also volunteer groups, who login to view details about upcoming projects.

I can now send the groups to their own details pages, and our staff to the admin overview page.

I use a number of Michael's extensions, and am always happy with them.

Excellent

2014-10-09 - Gamal Blake

Thank you so much for such an invaluable plugin. Just what i was sourcing for quite sometime.
