Redirect after node add/update including nid

Posted by gmak on November 24, 2012 at 1:41pm

Hi,

I have a situation where I need to redirect the user to a specific URL after a node is added or updated.

I have found several posts which show the hook_form_alter examples, but I cannot see how I can access the relevant node data to structure my URL for the redirect.

My redirect url uses node->nid and a custom field node->field_relatedproject in order to redirect to the URL that I need.

Is there a way to access the content of these fields in the hook_form_alter or hook_form_submit process?

thanks

You know, I sometimes surprise myself by trying to make things more complicated than they need to be.

Rules is perfect for this! Having used Rules for a number of other things, I really don't see why I missed it for this.

I think this is one of those times when you "can't see the forest for the trees."

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Rules redirect not working after node update/save called

Hi-

I'm in the same boat - well sort of.

I want to allow a user to update a node of type blah, and then be redirected back to a summary view of those nodes.
I'm trying with rules, but I get the error "The content on this page has either been modified by another user, or you have already submitted modifications using this form. As a result, your changes cannot be saved."

Makes me think Im stuck in a loop somewhere. So I've even tried to force rules to save the node(entity) then redirect, but still no luck.

Any thoughts?
TIA for any insight

Here's my rules stuff:

After updating existing content
Content is of type
Parameter: Content: [node], Content types: blah
Save entity
Parameter: Entity: [node], Force saving immediately: true

Page redirect
Parameter: URL: http://drupal.org

You probably don't want the 'save entity' part.
