Custon redirect after form submit

By demalexx on 2 Aug 2008 at 22:23 UTC

Hello! I searched how to redirect user after form submit but unfortunately it isn't helpful for me. I have my own content type and nodes of that type printed manually, using menu system - user goes to /drupal/show_my_content_type_page/$id and callback function displays data.

When user add node of my content type I'd like to redirect him to /drupal/show_my_content_type_page/$id. I know how to redirect user to /drupal/show_my_content_page/ using #redirection, but I need to redirect him to /drupal/show_my_content_page/$id so user see created page.

How could I do this? Thanks.

drupal_goto()

mantyla commented 2 August 2008 at 22:42

I'm not sure if you want to redirect users after submitting a contrib form or core form, so here's what helps with both: if you have a contrib function, just add a drupal_goto() call with the parameters you want in the end of the submit function. If it is a core form, create a custom submit function which calls drupal_goto() and attach it to the forms you want using a hook_form_alter() implementation.

But it isn't recommended to

demalexx commented 2 August 2008 at 23:07

But it isn't recommended to use goto function. Other submit handlers could be skipped. Form is standart, node/add/my-content-type.

Try form alter and a submit handler

Alan D. commented 30 September 2008 at 01:51

The good old form alter hook still appears to be the best place for this:

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_form_alter().
 */
function jm_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  if (isset($form['#node']) && $form['#node']->type .'_node_form' == $form_id) {
    $form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'jm_redirect_handler';
  }
}

/**
 * Attaches the redirect to the submitted form.
 *
 * @param unknown_type $form
 * @param unknown_type $form_state
 * @return unknown
 */
function jm_redirect_handler($form, &$form_state) {
  if ($form_state['nid']) {
    // reloading as I do not know the node type context. You probably do not need to :), just set the redirect using $form_state['nid']
    $node = node_load(array('nid' => $form_state['nid']));
    switch($node->type) {
      case 'project':
        $form_state['redirect'] = 'projects/'. $node->nid;
    }
  }
}
?>

This needs to be wrapped in a module, but works nicely. I'm ignoring delete as the standard works fine.

It's redirecting after

kenorb commented 22 October 2008 at 13:47

It's redirecting after submitting the form, what about permissions?
node_save function run firstly nodeapi (submit hook) and after that acquire_grants hook, if you do redirection during submit, you will lost some permissions (acquire_grants hook). Am I right?
Tested on Drupal 6.x

Make sure the redirect submit handler is last

Alan D. commented 22 October 2008 at 22:48

If you are using the above code, make sure that your custom submit handler is last. It doesn't stop the other handlers from working, it just adds a redirect that overwrites the normal redirect.

The form redirect is the last step in the form workflow, after the submit handlers. On some forms you can set the #redirect property during form creation, but most forms do this during submission. It is only a variable to flag what do do after you have finished.

Sorry but which part of the code should I edit or enter de url to redirect to. I am a newbie in this.

Depends on what you want..

Alan D. commented 19 November 2015 at 07:34

To redirect all saved nodes, you could use a code based example above and:

<?php
function jm_redirect_handler($form, &$form_state) {
  if ($form_state['nid']) {
    // redirecting all nodes
    $form_state['redirect'] = 'my-thank-you-page';
  }
}
?>

It think that if your unsure about the proggramming, then an action or the rules module could be an easier method of doing redirects. No programming would be needed.

Using rules, define a new triggered action, via admin > rules, and define the condition that checks on the node that is created, then add an action "page redirect". I don't think you can get info about the saved node here though, so if this doesn't matter use rules, and if you require the nid, etc, use the code based one.

Or place a really nice request to the rules issue queue and wait patiently for a fix :)

Thanks, this worked for me, I was trying with $form['#submit'][] but it does not work, when i changed that to the $form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] you suggested, all went straight

Works for Drupal 6. Thank you

jonathan1055 commented 23 June 2013 at 12:56

Hi Alan,
Thanks very much for this. For Drupal 6 I was trying to find a hook or function I could define which would be executed after node_form_submit(). I was previously using $form['#submit'][] which executed the function before node_form_submit(). I then saw another post using $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] but that was not working at all for D6 (maybe it was D7 functionality).

But the code above $form['buttons']['submit']['#submit'][] adds the function after node_form_submit() which is exactly what you need in Drupal 6. For the record, I needed to use the updated $node data for the url of a custom redirect after the node is saved.

Thanks very much
Jonathan

No redirection at all

Dracu-2 commented 17 March 2009 at 21:08

I have a Html Form, completely hidden. I collect data from that Form in my online database by using java autosubmit.
So visitors don't have to click on something, and they also they don't have to see the hidden form.
My problem is with the stupid redirection. How can I get rid of it. I dont need no redirection at all, not even refresh or reload the page.
I need my visitors to stay on the original page they load without seeing anything!
Can someone give me an idea how can i work it out?

Set the redirect to FALSE

Just a simple 'thank you' page is all..

drt417 commented 21 August 2009 at 00:31

I've been looking everywhere to find out how to redirect the user to a 'thank you' page after they submit a form.

I've made a new content type, testimonial, and I want it so that anonymous uses can enter their details (client name, testimonial, email, etc), and after they submit the form, be re-directed to a thank you page instead of the node. By default, these testimonials are unpublished, so right now anonymous users are faced with 'accessed denied' after they just submitted a testimonial. (there's got to be a more friendly way).

Any insight into what I could try would be great!

Thanks!

If you don't want to

If you don't want to implement the above code, try Rules, see http://drupal.org/node/298506 for details

Custom Destination

Shai commented 29 December 2009 at 18:39

In addition to the "Rules" solution suggested, the Custom Destination module is also a good alternative:

similar issue

malinica commented 31 May 2011 at 19:15

Hi, I am trying to do something very similar so please bare with the question as I am pretty new to Drupal. I am using a custom module (webform) form to grab user information and I need to redirect it to a paypal payflow link. I need to grab all the data from the form and redirect it to a PayFlow page. I have created a custom module and am working with the appropriate hooks. I have updated both hook_form_alter and have created a handler to redirect the submit to payflow. My issue is that I need to pass in hidden input fields to payflow that I grab from the given form entries. How would I accomplish this in the handler? My code is below:

function my_module_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
  switch ($form_id) {
    case 'my_form_id':
  	  $form['#submit'] = array('my_module_node_form_submit_handler');
   
      break;
  }
}

function my_module_node_form_submit_handler($form, &$form_state) {

 //HOW CAN I PASS IN HIDDEN VARIABLES TO THE REDIRECT PAGE HERE THAT
 //TAKE THE VALUE OF THIS FORM AND SOME ADDITIONAL PARAMTERS?
  $form_state['redirect']  = 'https://payflowlink.paypal.com';
}

Thank you for your help!

Watch the URL-Parameter "destination=PATH"!!!

HydroZ commented 6 January 2012 at 11:08

Watch the URL-Parameter "destination=PATH"!!!,

When your current URL contains the Parameter destination, for example:
www.homepage.org/cart?destination=shop
your setting with
$form_state['redirect'] = 'my_destination';
would be ignored, and the user will be redirected to the destination-path.
To prevent this behaviour you need to unset this with this snippet:
unset($_REQUEST['destination']);

This worked for me

frazras commented 22 January 2012 at 03:37

crate a module called mymodule.info or if drupal 7 change mymodule to your themename and drop it inside the template.php file

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id){
	if($form_id == 'user_register') {
		$form['#submit'] []= 'mymodule_node_form_submit_handler';
	}
}

function mymodule_node_form_submit_handler($form, &$form_state) {
	unset($_REQUEST['destination']);
	unset($form['#redirect']); 

		$form_state['redirect']  = 'http://google.com'; 
	
	}
}

In drupal 7, only this works for me (in template.php):

function seven_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
{
	if($form_id == 'mytype_node_form')
	{
		$form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'seven_redirect_handler';
	}
}

function seven_redirect_handler($form, &$form_state)
{
	unset($_REQUEST['destination']); // this doesn't seem to work though
	unset($form['#redirect']); // i think this doesnt do anything because $form is not a reference

	$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/1';
}

What if i need the node

Nikdhil Mdohfan commented 29 March 2012 at 05:31

What if i need the node id
like

<?php
function seven_redirect_handler($form, &$form_state)
{
    unset($_REQUEST['destination']); // this doesn't seem to work though
    unset($form['#redirect']); // i think this doesnt do anything because $form is not a reference

    $form_state['redirect'] = 'node/'.$new_node_id;
}
?>

This is better way for durpal7

Just note that using action for the form redirect means it goes to that page even if the form doesn't validate, or so it seems to me.

What really worked was altering the #submit[] array in hook_form_alter, then in that new function you register, altering form_state['redirect']

Thank you. It is worked for

phponwebsites commented 13 January 2015 at 07:03

Thank you. It is worked for me.
Now i want to pass node id. But i don't like to pass node id in url like you.
You have used node id in url.

$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/'.$new_node_id;

I want to pass node id to another page without pass in url.

 $form_state['redirect'] = 'node/thankyou';

I need to get passed values on 'thankyou' page.
Is it possible? or is any other alternate ways to do?

Take a look at the ThankYou module. It is very small and it gives you the flexibility of targeting different content types so you don't have to hardcode it.
