    Hi Greg,

    Why isn´t possible to log directly to a course in ver. 1.6.4 anymore, (user is enrolled)?

    Ex.: "/login.php?course=1"

    After login it redirects to "My Startpage" instead.

    I found the same problem on your demo server.

    It's still possible. It just needs to be turned on at the top of the login script after you upgrade or install.

    Logging directly into the demo course seems to be working fine for me

    Ok, and how can I turn this feature on?

    (I´m not sure what you mean...)

    My problem is when a user is not logged in and I have given the direct address to a specific course. After login the user should be directed directly to the content startpage instead of "My Start Page > My Courses". That´s how it has been in earlier versions

    wink

    I was thinking "remote" login, rather than direct login. FYI the login.php file itself contains instructions for setting up remote login.

    For direct login, instead of login.php, use:

    bounce.php?course=1

    Hi again,

    Yes i know...

    But when you use /bounce.php?course=1, which is the same as choosing af course from the course browser it redirects to login screen. So far so good....

    After login, it still redirects to "My startpage > My courses" instead of the chosen course´ startpage. This also happens at your demo...

    Great - Thanks smile

    By the way. Did you see my solution to thread: www.atutor.ca/view/3/18946/1.html

    Maybe this should be a part of an update via patcher too...?

    We know about that one. It was one of those things we could not get done before the last release.

    www.atutor.ca/atutor/mantis/view.php?id=3977

    It's non-critical from our perspective, so we've left it until we get back into bug fixing for the next release. If someone were to create a patch for it we'd add it to the patcher (if you maybe, want to try your hand at building a patch).
