Redirect a user after the node has been saved

Question

I'm looking for a hook to use after a node of a specific content type is created or saved, to perform a redirection to a specific page.

Answer 1

In case of Drupal 6 hook_nodeapi() will help to perform on various actions, basing on the value of the first argument passed to the hook ($op).

• alter
• delete
• load
• update

In Drupal 7 there is a number of hooks for this.

• hook_node_view_alter()
• hook_node_delete()
• hook_node_load()
• hook_node_update()

Answer 2

Form redirect after node save. This blog discusses the usually way of redirecting a form, the problem with node forms, and how to solve them for Drupal 6. I believe it should also work for Drupal 7

Answer 3

For the completeness of this thread, here is a link to a more detailed answer.
Either code it or add a rule using the rules module.

Answer 4

If "created" and "saved" mean node has been on database, here some option.

/**
 * Implements hook_form_NODE_TYPE_node_form_alter()
 * Add some action to submit button
 */
function CUSTOM_MODULE_form_NODE_TYPE_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state){
    $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'CUSTOM_MODULE_form_NODE_TYPE_node_form_submit';
}
function CUSTOM_MODULE_form_NODE_TYPE_node_form_submit(&$form, &$form_state){
    $node = $form_state['node'];
    // CHECK NODE TYPE AND REDIRECT
}

Here similar case which can be done by this option.
