Redirect After Login

Have a look at this section of code.

http://drupal.org/node/39818#comment-73521

Notice how the session variable $destbefore403 is used at the beginning and end of the login form.

FWIW, also look at the new functions the Login Toboggan module brings to the party; it isn't what you're asking for, but I think you might want to consider what it does if you haven't already.

Please let others know what you manage to get working..

How do you catch login event for redirect?
My hook_user is not invoked on load...
My original post in module development forum:
http://drupal.org/node/54480

I've tried to implement this feature so that I can have the same functionality experienced on this very web page when you login to post a response.

If it makes any difference I've got a customized imap_auth in use for authentication.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

It's probably not the best solution, but it's a simple solution.

modules\user.module

- return array(t('History') => form_item(t('Member for'), format_interval(time() - $user->created)));
+ print "<script language='JavaScript'>\n";
+ print "history.go(-2)";
+ print "</script>\n";
+ // return array(t('History') => form_item(t('Member for'), format_interval(time() - $user->created)));


themes\yourtheme\page.tpl.php

After the meta tags:

+ <?php 
+ header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate'); 
+ Header('Pragma: no-cache');
+ ?>

You can use the login destination module: http://drupal.org/node/69051

and specifically this modification to it: http://drupal.org/node/88258

Generally speaking, you should almost never modify the user.module code directly.

To dayre,
Co-incidentally, I wrote the same code, but the problem is, how Drupal could decide whether the current user is logged in or not, when altering the login form!!

Thank you guys for some ideas, your solution inspired me to create my own solution. In my case it's essential that each group is forwarded to their own page right after login. So what I did was this:

/**
* Implementation of hook_form_alter(). Redirecting all loging to one file where figure out where to forward further
*/

function variousoverride_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_login_block' || $form_id == 'user_login') {
    $form['#action'] = variousoverride_get_destination();
  }
}

function variousoverride_get_destination() {
  $path = 'misc/loginprocessor.php';  # user area
  return url('', "destination=$path");
}

In few words, what I am doing is I am forwarding every login to misc/loginprocessor.php, there, I am doing a full bootstrap, then my script forwards (eg: <? header("Location:node/12") ) each user based on his group membership to appropriate page.

The simplest way to redirect i found was to use the logintoboggan module. It has a redirect option and you just choose the page you want them to be redirected to.

I found the login destination module to redirect the user based on the roles assigned to them.
This is a very easy way to redirect the user to their respective page.
Try it and feel better.

So, I was looking for 2 things:

1) a customized login form that was small and compact so it could be used in a configurable block.

2) Redirecting / keeping the user on their current page after login.

I took this customized login form from another thread, and all I had to do was grab "drupal_get_destination();" and pass that as a parameter after "user/login?", which automatically redirects the user to their current page.

This is the code I'm using in my block, pretty easy to modify and it does the trick:

<?php  global $user;  $redirect = drupal_get_destination(); ?>
<?php if ($user->uid) : ?>
  <span class="login_text">Logged in as: </span> <?php print l($user->name,'user/'.$user->uid); ?> |
  <?php print l("logout","logout"); ?>
    <?php else : ?>
<form action="user/login?<?php print $redirect; ?>" method="post" id="user-login">
      <label for="edit-name"><span class="login_text">Username:</span>
      <input type="text" maxlength="60" name="name" id="edit-name"  size="5" value="" tabindex="1" class="form-text required" /></label>
      <label for="edit-pass"><span class="login_text">Password:</span>
      <input type="password" maxlength="" name="pass" id="edit-pass"  size="5"  tabindex="2" class="form-text required" /></label>
      <input type="hidden" name="form_id" id="edit-user-login" value="user_login"  />
     <input type="submit" name="op" value="Log in"  tabindex="3" id="edit-submit" class="form-submit" /></form>
      <?php endif; ?>

I was using drupal_goto('user') to redirect to the login form which I altered to

if(!myaccessdeniedfunction()){
drupal_set_message('Access Denied. Please login to view this page.');
drupal_goto('user','destination=node/'.$node->nid);
}

Of course that's just a snip of code in my module.

If you're not logged into this page take a look at the link to reply to the comment. You'll see the destination in the query string.

http://www.rimian.com.au
http://www.freelancewebdeveloper.net.au

This is a simple way to print a link that will redirect to the referring page.

  $destination = drupal_get_destination();
    print l('Login', 'user/login', array('query' => $destination));

After following that link and logging in the user will be sent back to the page where they clicked the link.

I happen to use it in page.tpl.php

This requires almost no modification or modules. But really all it accomplishes is getting you back to the page you were on.

Just add <form action="/user?destination=<?php print $_REQUEST['q'] ?>">

Logs you in and redirects you to the page you were on :)

A bit off topic, but relevant as google led me here when searching for how to do this.

function hook_user ( $op ){

    if ( $op == "login" ){
        drupal_goto( "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . url( 'path/to/page' ) );
    }
}

Where hook is the name of your module. You must put this in a module that you created (or that already exists if you're a hacker) as it will not work in template.php. By default, I always have a generic functions module in my Drupal deployments (thus this becomes myfunctions_user) for performing actions that I need globally, or that can not be done in template.php, like this type of redirect.

So if you create a basic, basic module by following the module tuorial, and just have this function in there, you can rather easily control redirects. Note, the drupal_goto() function wants a complete URL, so that's why I am getting $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].

Another benefit, you should be able to global the $user variable and access what roles or other specifics you need to redirect to the right location. Let me know if this is not clear and I will try to clarify. Good luck.

i tried to redirect the user to a page after the user log's in with the help of the triggers n even rules but nothing seems to work here as even after i created the trigger to redirect the user after he's login to another page the drupal still redirects me to the default front page that i have assigned in the site information -> default front page....

Moreover i came to know that the triggers n rules wont help me to get redirected to the page i want after the user has logged in... coz drupal dun allow that and it uses the default front page only to redirect the user after the user has logged in.....

The solution i came to know is the FRONT PAGE module that can define differnt Front page after logging as per the roles assigned to them......
but again it wont redirect to the url i used in the FRONT PAGe :P

have you try custom destination module?

This is my solution. It works for me.

1. implement the hook_user and case 'login': do you stuff after login( eg: if(user is admin) drupal_goto(...) else if(...)... )

2. implement hook_form_alter: set the login form $form['#action'] = ''

Then it's ok without any other module's help

My solution for return to current node after login. If anyone has better ideas, please write your...Thx

/*
 * Implementation of hook_user() 
 */

function mymodule_user($op){
    $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
    if ( $op == "login" ){
       drupal_goto( "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/'.$alias );
    }
}

/**
 * Implements hook_user_login().
 */
function MYMODULE_user_login(&$edit, $account) {
	$edit['redirect'] = 'node/123';
	// $edit['redirect'] = '<front>';
	// works fine as well
}
