I think I'm missing something in the Joomla login behaviour. I read a lot of post but can't find the answer of what I looking for. Let's say you have login page (ie: yoursite.com/login), if you login, Joomla correctly brings you to the target page you choose. The problem is : if you then go back to the login page yoursite.com/login, the redirect doesn't work no more. In fact if you refresh the page the login fields vanish and all it remains is the logout button.
I tried
$user = JFactory::getUser();
if($user->id == 1)
{
// redirect here
}
I tried in Joomla 2.5 and 3.x, the behaviour is the same. Am I missing something?
