Custom Landing Page Hook

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. Simply install the hook and specify the property by overriding the following settings in your hook's portal.properties:

##
## Set override.default.landing.page.path to true if you want this property be override
## by CustomLandingPage path. If this is not provided by default it will take its value
## as true. And if this is set to false, CustomLandingPage hook will redirect to this page
## only. It needs to be true in case of Custom Landing page to work.
##
override.default.landing.page.path=true

##
## 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
##
## For sitePublicPage, sitePrivatePage, organizationPublicPage, organizationPrivatePage option we
## can provide specific landing page friendly URL in custom attribute.
## example,
## For site/organization PublicPage, we can provide landing page in site custom attribute with key "landingPagePublic"
## landingPagePublic = /myHome , where /myHome is frienlyURL of a public page exist in particular site/organization site
## For site/organization PrivatePage, we can provide landing page in site custom attribute with key "landingPrivatePublic"
## landingPagePublic = /myPrivateHome , where /myPrivateHome is frienlyURL of a private page exist in particular site/organization site
## For role & userGroup, we can provide landing page complete relative URL in role OR userGroup's custom attribute with key "landingPage"
