I have a link "Add a Post" (url: /node/add/mypost) which is not directly accessible to users.

I want to display a menu item titled "Add a Post" so that when users click on it, user goes to login page and THEN goes to "/node/add/post"

I have tried using "logintoboggan" and "rules" modules but these redirect user to "node/add/mypost" EVERYTIME a user logs in - I also have a "log in" only link where I just want the user to come back to home page after logging in.

Question Summary: How to have redirect users to a node add form based on a menu item that they clicked on? (menu item here = separate than the "log in" link)

You could add the link like this:

user/login?destination=node/add/post

after login they'll be sent to the add post form.

  • It worked. Thank you very much! One note for other folks who may try this... In the link for the menu item, I had to enter the entire URL. What I mean: I had to enter "www.example.com/user/login?destination=node/add/post', just adding "user/login?destination=node/add/post" did not work.

  • Great - you're welcome. Yeah if it's a menu item the relative url wouldn't work without adding a menu callback to a custom module I think - adding the absolute url is easier for a quick fix.
