How can I redirect the users after confirmation basing on the roles they have?

Question

I have two type of users, and I have created two types of registration forms for each role. I want to redirect the users to different pages, once they get the email confirmation according to their roles.

For example:

• user1, with the first role, must be redirected to page1
• user2, with the second role, must be redirected to page2

I think I can achieve this feature using the Rules module, but I don't know how to do it.

Can you tell me how can I implement it?

Answer 1

yes, with Rules!

1. create a new rule.
2. select event: user has logged in (or if you use LoginTobogan module you can use the event "When the user account is validated".)
3. select condition: User has role(s), and assign the role (I recommend create a new Role and assign this role to a test user)
4. selet the action: Page redirect, and add the url to the destination (I have selected 'Immediately issue the page redirect' to see the redirection (if is not select this, I can not see working the redirection, but test if you does not need this. Please review the warning about the setting)
5. enable your rule and test.

Answer 2

You might be able to use something like the Login Destination module to achieve what you want. If not, there might be a solution in using the Trigger and Rules modules.
