Redirect User to their Profile Page After Saving

Question

Each user has a "Edit" tab/button on their profile. They click it, edit their profile, and when it is saved, they are kept on that page. I want the user to be taken back to his/her "View" or profile page.

Answer 1

As @Aboodred, if you already have the Rules module installed, adding a simple rule can do the job.

1. Create a rule with the React on event type After updating an existing user account.

2. Add a Page redirect action. Set the 'Data selector' field to account:url (either manually or using the dropdown).

Answer 2

If you want to do it with code instead of rules you can take a look at how the user_edit_cancel_submit function does it in user.pages.inc.

First you define an submit function: $form['#submit'][] = 'custom_redirect_after_save';

Then you add the function:

function custom_redirect_after_save($form, &$form_state) {
  if (isset($_GET['destination'])) {
    unset($_GET['destination']);
  }
  $form_state['redirect'] = array("user", array());
}

In Drupal 8/9:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function MYMODULE_form_user_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  // Redirect users to their profile pages.
  $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'MYMODULE_user_edit_form_submit';
}

/**
 * Redirect users to their profile pages when submitting the edit form.
 */
function MYMODULE_user_edit_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  $form_state->setRedirect('entity.user.canonical', ['user' => \Drupal::currentUser()->id()]);
}

Answer 4

You can add additional submit function to user_profile_form by using hook_form_alter to return back to profile page after editing user profile.

Your code should look like the following:

function MODULE_NAME_form_user_profile_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  $form['#submit'][] = 'MODULE_NAME_user_profile_form_submit';
}

function MODULE_NAME_user_profile_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  global $user;
  drupal_goto('user/' . $user->uid);
}

Answer 5

On my system (Drupal 6) it was

1) Install Rules Module:

https://www.drupal.org/project/rules

2) Activate Rules Module in Administration Console

[site url]/admin/build/modules (Look for a new Module category called Rules)

3) Enable the following Module(s):

Rules Administration UI 6.x-1.5 Provides the administration UI for rules. Depends on: Rules (enabled)

Rules Forms support 6.x-1.5 Provides events, conditions and actions for rule-based form customization. Depends on: Rules (enabled)

Rules Scheduler 6.x-1.5 Schedule the execution of rule sets. Depends on: Rules (enabled)

4) Navigate to Rules area and configure the rule:

Rules | Triggered Rules | Add a new rule

....fill in as per Obliquely's instructions...

BUT - There was no DATA SELECTOR or dropdown.

Instead I had to fill it in by hand, which was easy:

To: [account:account-url]

Answer 6

It worked in Drupal 8

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;

function YOUR_MODULE_user_update($account) {
  $uid = \Drupal::currentUser()->id();
  $url = '/u/' . $uid;
  $response = new RedirectResponse($url);
  $request = \Drupal::request();
  $request->getSession()->save();
  $response->prepare($request);
  \Drupal::service('kernel')->terminate($request, $response);
  $response->send();
}
