Redirect user after node add/edit

Question

I want to redirect users to a custom page, after they create a node or edit it.

Answer 1

You can use hook_form_alter to add a custom submit handler where you can set the redirection path.

See the FAPI for more details about form redirection.

Answer 2

You can create a rule that redirects the user to any page when they create or edit a specific content type. When you add a rule select "After Creating New Content" add also a condition of "Content Has Type". You Do section will give you the option to redirect a user to any page you want.

For a redirect after editing a node, just create a new rule and select "After updating Existing Content" as your first option.

Answer 3

When doing this, ensure to also unset a possible existing destination which normally is added to the URL when you click the edit button to edit an existing node.

Replace article in MYMODULE_form_article_node_form_alter with your content type's machine name.

/**
 * Implements hook_form_BASE_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function MYMODULE_form_article_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {

  $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = '_MYMODULE_node_form_redirect';
}

/**
 * Submit callback.
 */
function _MYMODULE_node_form_redirect($form, &$form_state) {

  // Unset destination first.
  unset($_GET['destination']);
  unset($_REQUEST['edit']['destination']);

  $form_state['redirect'] = 'FOO/BAR';
}

Answer 4

The documentation is not very clear on it, but you should modify $_GET['destination'] variable, not $_REQUEST or $form_state['redirect'].

Answer 5

in Drupal 7 you can alter the node edit form to 'attach' your own submit function, in which you can alter form_state of the node delete confirmation form to include the 'destination' parameter... just did this in a custom theme i've been developing as a subtheme of the 'seven' admin theme...

Documentation for hook_form_FORM_ID_alter

You can add this hook to a template/theme, not just to modules.

so in your theme's template.php, add this form alter hook:

function yourtheme_node_delete_form_submit( &$form, &$form_state ) {
    $form_state[ 'redirect' ][ 1 ][ 'query' ][ 'destination' ] = "admin/content";
}

and then, voila. no longer redirected to homepage after a node is deleted.

Solution from here http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer%21topics%21forms_api_reference.html/7#comment-18139

<?php
  function FORM_NAME_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
    $form_state['redirect'] = array(
      // $path
      'path/to/redirect/to',
      // $options
      array('query' => array('key' => 'value')),
      // $http_response_code
      302,
    );
  }  
?>
