Event Landing Portlet
Generally we have a requirement that on a particular day the users must be redirected to a page after login.
For that one solution is to create a hook and catch the post login event and redirect user to a specific page. But in this case someone has to deploy the hook at 00:00 hrs and undeploy the hook. This is a manual task and would require a lot of effort by the user.
To remove that we have developed a portlet where the user configure an event and set the landing page for a specific amount of time. Also after the event has been over the previous landing page will automatically come into action.
