[pmwiki-users] How to redirect to a user-chosen page

[Randy]

Hans,

Actually, I want to redirect the user to a specific group, not to the  
current group. And I don't want the user to have type the group. I had  
already changed the line to

(:input hidden urlfmt pmwiki.php?n=MyGroup.{$$target}:)

I like your fix in principle. Can you suggest another way to specify  
the group?
