How to redirect a user to the profile of the user they just created

Question

I have a situation where my users of role 'Operator' are in charge of creating new user accounts. Right now, when they create a new user account it just sends them back to the user/create page and displays a confirmation message.

I would like to have drupal redirect the user to the profile page (user/%) of the user that they just created.

I was looking here (http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/14993/how-can-i-do-a-custom-form-redirect-on-the-user-registration-form) but can't figure out how to get the user id of the user that the 'Operator' created and not the user id of the 'Operator' them self.

Answer 1

Here is Form API solution for that:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function YOUR_MODULE_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  // Check if user has permission to add new user
  if (user_access('administer users')) {
    $form['#submit'][] = 'YOUR_MODULE_user_register_submit';
  }
}

/**
 * Submit callback
 */
function YOUR_MODULE_user_register_submit(&$form, &$form_state) {
  if (isset($form_state['values']['uid'])) {
    // Redirect to user page
    $form_state['redirect'] = url('user/' . $form_state['values']['uid']);
  }
}

And here is Rules solution:

1. Add event "After saving a new user account"
2. Add condition "User has role(s)" — site:current-user has role "Operator". I really don't know how to check permission in Rules, so it is not the best solution.
3. Add action "Page redirect" — user/[account:uid]

Answer 2

How about a rule? Check the Rules Module for this task. With this you can define what happens after a user registered. For example a redirect or many other actions.
