Redirect node form in D7

Question

It looks like silly question but I'm really confused about redirection after node save and update.

I tried to set $form['#redirect'] - without any success. I tried to set some other vars for instance: $_REQUEST['destination'] or in $form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'] setting function name to call that sets $form_state['#redirect'] but none of this solution works.

Can you give me some source that explains node forms redirecting in D7?

1.Use hook_node_create and hook_node_update, judge your node type to drup_goto, like:

function hook_node_create ($node) {
  if ($node->type == 'YOUR_NODE_TYPE') {
     drupal_goto('YOUR_DESTINATION');
  }
}

2.Use hook_form_alter change your node form, like:

function hook_form_alter (&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'YOUR_NODE_FORM_ID') {
    $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'YOUR_NODE_FORM_ID_ls_submit';
  } 
}

function YOUR_NODE_FORM_ID_ls_submit ($form, &$form_state) {
  $form_state['redirect'] = 'YOUR_DESTINATION'; // Not $form_state['#redirect']
}

You have to add a new submit callback to your validate button with a hook_form_alter and add a $form_state['redirect'] :

mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id){
$form['actions']['submit']['#submit][] = 'mymodule_redirect_callback';
}

mymodule_redirect_callback($form, &$form_state){
$form_state['redirect'] = array('___your__phath____');
}

Don't forget to pass the $form_state variable in your callback BY REFERENCE ( '&$form_state' and not juste '$form_state').

I used this method hundreds of times.

Finally, don't forget that a 'destination' parameter in the URL will always override any redirect set in $form_state['redirect']. See drupal_redirect_form for more information

There is the Node Save Redirect module for this purpose. Check it out! Here is a quote about it (from the module's project page):

... provides a method of specifying a location to take the user after saving a piece of content.

A set of radios buttons are added to the submission vertical tab on the content type edit form.

The available options are:

• Default - Default behaviour
• Return to Edit page after saving
• Return to content overview page (assuming the user has access permissions
• Re-redirect to another location. (any valid drupal path)
