I plan on creating a custom post-login landing page in Drupal 7, preferably using Views or just custom PHP (anything dynamic).
This page will only be for admins. I want it to show:
- Welcome back {user}
- Blocks of data containing fields (filtered for active data only)
- Add/Edit/Manage Content Blocks (so they won’t need to use Drupal toolbar as much)
- Other useful admin blocks
I have created a Views page called ‘Welcome back’ but not sure where to go next. Multiple blocks to sit inside the one page, or something along those lines.
Although, a custom PHP page is an option if the views method is not recommended (impractical).
I also have Display Suite module but haven’t learnt it too much at this stage.
You probably want to use dashboard module or homebox. Pair that with logintoboggan to redirect users to the dashboard as soon as they log in and you have yourself a descent set up.
