In order to full fill your requirement, need to use Event/Observer.

• First create a custom input hidden field (custom_redirect) at custom phtml Input this field: <input name="custom_redirect" type="hidden" value="1"/>

• Then using customer_login event for redirect to custom page on basic of custom_redirect.

At event fire an observer which redirect to yourcustom url page on basic of custom_redirect input value using magento FrontController prediction action

Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect("YOUR_URL");

config.xml:

 <frontend>
        <events>
            <customer_login>
                <observers>
                    <redirect_to_anthor_page>
                        <class>StackExchange_Magento90351_Model_Observer</class>
                        <method>redirectNotLogged</method>
                    </redirect_to_anthor_page>
                </observers>
            </customer_login>
        </events>
    </frontend>

Observer code:

<?php

/*

 * To change this template file, choose Tools | Templates

 */

/**
 * Description of Observer
 *
 * @author work
 */
class StackExchange_Magento90351_Model_Observer {
    //put your code here
 public function redirectNotLogged(Varien_Event_Observer $observer){
     if(Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('custom_redirect')==1):
        Mage::app()->getResponse()->setRedirect(Mage::getUrl('affiliate/index/d‌ashboard'))
            ->sendResponse();
        exit;
       endif; 
     } 

}
