Question

After login i use need to set up redirect to custom page. How to catch this authorization in onAfterRoute event?

Answer 1

You should go to this path:
JOOMLAROOT/components/com_user/controller.php
in function register_save(), find this code:
if ( $useractivation == 1 ) {
$message = JText::_( 'REG_COMPLETE_ACTIVATE' );
} else {
$message = JText::_( 'REG_COMPLETE' );
}
after line put this code:
$this->setRedirect('/Your Custom Page Address', $message);

Answer 2

Why not just use the built in redirect in either the Joomla user login menu item or the standard Joomla login module. Both offer the option to redirect a user after a successful login. In the case of the module, you would need to create a menu item pointing to the custom page, but that's easy enough to do.
Is there something you need to do other than just a simple redirect? If not, then just use the system as it is designed.

Answer 3

I would create a small plugin that handles the redirect after login.
After a user has been logged in, the event onUserLogin is triggered, and you could simply do a redirect when the event is called.
Avoid any core hacks, since you'll allways end up having a hazzle during updates.
The code for a plugin like this could look like this:
class plgAuthenticationMyredirect extends JPlugin{
function onUserLogin ($user, $options){
$link = 'index.php?option=.....';
$msg = 'Message to show after login';
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect($link, $msg);
}
}
