Redirects within hook_user_login

Question

I'm writing a module that redirects the user on login and am having trouble getting anything to work. Here is what I tried within hook_user_login:

submission.info

name = Submission
description = Handles Redirect to node/add/page on Login 
core = 7.x

submission.module

function submission_user_login(&$edit, $account) {
  //$_REQUEST['destination'] = 'node/add/page';
  //$GLOBALS['destination'] = 'node/add/page';
  //$edit['redirect'] = 'node/add/page';
  drupal_goto('node/add/page');
}

Answer 1

Try to change drupal_goto with $_GET['destination'], e.g.:

function submission_user_login(&$edit, $account) {

   // Redirect user to to desired location.
   $_GET['destination'] = 'node/add/page';
}

Hope this will work.

Answer 2

You can use Login Destination module to redirect user after login. This module have many customization for redirecton of user. For more info go through the documentation of module.

Answer 3

You can use Rules module to do this very easily..

The Rules module allows site administrators to define conditionally executed actions based on occurring events (known as reactive or ECA rules).

OR

You can use below code to redirect inside hook_user_login implementation ..

function YOURMODULENAME_user_login(&$edit, $account)  {
  $GLOBALS['destination'] = 'node/add/page';
}

You also need to implement hook_drupal_goto_alter to perform redirect

/**
 * Implements hook_drupal_goto_alter
 */
function YOURMODULENAME_drupal_goto_alter(&$path, &$options, &$http_response_code) {
  // Note that this functionality cannot be backported do 6.x as Drupal 6 does
  // not call drupal_alter for drupal_goto.

  // This actually may be used also by templates.
  if (isset($GLOBALS['destination'])) {
    $destination = $GLOBALS['destination'];

    // alter drupal_goto
    if (is_array($destination)) {
      $path = $destination[0];
      $options = array();
      if (count($destination) > 1) {
        $options = $destination[1];
      }
    }
    else {
      $path = $destination;
    }
  }
}
