FirstVisit is a total rewrite of our old pnFirstVisit module, which allowed an administrator to define a specific page to be loaded on a user\\'s first vist to the site.   During the PostNuke years, this required a modification to the core files, in addition to the module itself.    With the release of Zikula 1.0, the new user registration system now supports hooks, making it possible to add on to the registration process.   That works wonderfully if the module you need to call has the required hook programed in it, however if that hook does not exist, you are left modifying files that may be over written in the future.   FirstVisit provides an easy work around to this problem.

In the FirstVisit admin settings, you select the module, function and any arguments you may need to provide, just as in the Site Settings for the Start page.   Then activate FirstVisit in the hooks setting for the User module.    When a new user registers on your site, the hook sends them to FirstVisit which in turn redirects the user to your chosen location.
