Redirect to custom page after creating a node with nid as a parameter

Hi everybody,

I spent huge amount of time searching net to find best solution. Finally, after understanding node.module, I`ve found out that form_submit return value could be used for redirection.

So, what I want to do is to redirect a user to custom page after node creation with nid as a parameter.
To do it, you should:
1. Create a wrapper submission function, which will call default one (node_form_submit), retrieve nid of created node and redirect to your_custom_page.

<?php
function your_module_redirect_submit($form_id, $form_values)
{    
    $node_url = node_form_submit($form_id, $form_values);
    dpr("Node URL:".$node_url);
    return 'your_custom_page/'.str_replace('node/','',$node_url);
}
?>

2. Replace default one with yours on form alter for needed_node_type.

<?php
function your_module_form_alter($form_id, &$form)
{
    if ($form_id == 'needed_node_type_node_form')
    {                                
        unset($form['#submit']['node_form_submit']);    
        $form['#submit']['your_module_redirect_submit'] = array();                        
    }
}
?>

Hope it will help somebody.

You can do it with

<?php
function yourmodule_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $teaser = NULL, $page = NULL) {
  if ($node->type == 'needed_node_type') {
    if ($op == 'insert') {
      drupal_goto('your_url/' . $node->nid);
    }
  }
}
?>

You could simply use the Form API's #redirect property.
