I need to redirect the user on the login to a component page and not to the control panel.

How can I do this?

You should be able to give the user the direct link. Like http://www.example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_contact. This will first show him the login form and after a successful login he will be taken to this URL automatically.

Rather than editing a core file which may get overridden if you ever update Joomla, I would suggest using a small plugin for like such as Admin Login Redirect.

Once installed, simply add the following into the extension parameter

option=com_k2

Note: Change com_k2 to whichever extension you wish to redirect to.

Hope this helps
