Redirect a user after the node has been saved

Question

I'm looking for a hook to use after a node of a specific content type is created or saved, to perform a redirection to a specific page.

Answer 1

In case of Drupal 6 hook_nodeapi() will help to perform on various actions, basing on the value of the first argument passed to the hook ($op).

• alter
• delete
• load
• update

In Drupal 7 there is a number of hooks for this.

• hook_node_view_alter()
• hook_node_delete()
• hook_node_load()
• hook_node_update()

Answer 2

Form redirect after node save. This blog discusses the usually way of redirecting a form, the problem with node forms, and how to solve them for Drupal 6. I believe it should also work for Drupal 7
