How to redirect user to a specific page after they login if they belong to a certain role?

Question

We have certain users in our member list that have a role "vendor" attached to them. All such members are to be redirected to a certain page upon login. How can this be accomplished?

Warning! Redirecting users after log in can have strange and definitely unwanted effects! http://drupal.org/node/1772880 — lumbric, Dec 14 '12 at 23:56

There is more than one way to skin this cat... This is my preferred Drupal 7 method:

function hook_user_login(&$edit, $account) {
  $edit['redirect'] = 'node/123';
}

This works for "node paths". How would you redirect to a custom menu action? – Marco Lazzeri Jan 04 '14 at 13:10

In exactly the same way: $edit['redirect'] = 'my_custom_menu_item'; – Felix Eve Jan 06 '14 at 09:01
Why the downvote? Please elaborate if there is anything wrong with this! As far as I'm aware this is the correct and most "Drupal" method of achieving this... – Felix Eve Mar 09 '16 at 03:13

For Drupal 7

Action --> admin/config/system/actions - Redirect to URL

then enable your trigger module

Trigger --> /admin/structure/trigger/node

if your are trying to login redirect just follow this(select user tab in the page)

go to --> admin/structure/trigger/user

then Trigger: After a user has logged in

choose an action -->Redirect to URL and assign.

Then clear the cache.

It will work for you!

You can use Rules

Events: User has logged in.
Condition: User has role
Actions: Page redirect

You can define actions and triggers in Drupal:

Action(admin/settings/actions) - Redirect to a specific page

Trigger (admin/build/trigger/user) - After user has logged in

Try this.

EDIT (see comments):

Create a small module to check on a user's login process what role he has and then redirect if neccesary. drupal_goto => redirect-function in drupal

hook_user =>triggers on user operations

And for the user's roles:

GLOBAL $user;
$roles = $user->roles;
$vendor = in_array('vendor', $roles);

$vendor then holds a true/false value will decide to redirect or not.

If you don't know how to do this, just post here and I'll write the module for you. But this would be a good practice for writing future drupa modules for you perhaps. :)

That's going to redirect all users, not ones with a specific role. – Dave Reid Aug 07 '10 at 16:03
Ah, I didn't read the question properly, my bad. You can create a small module then and use hook_user with $op = login, check the user's role and then do a redirect perhaps? – Rakward Aug 07 '10 at 16:33

There are 2 ways in DRUPAL 7

1) Using action and trigger see this http://drupal.org/node/298506

2)if using custom module

function YOURMODULE_user_login(&$edit, $account) {

 if (!isset($_POST['form_id']) || $_POST['form_id'] != 'user_pass_reset' || variable_get('login_destination_immediate_redirect', FALSE)) {

 if(in_array('THE-ROLE-WANTED-TO-REDIRECT',$account->roles)): 

drupal_goto('PATH');

 else: drupal_goto('user/'.$account->uid); 

endif; 

} 

}

following condition for hook_user

if($op =='login') drupal_goto("your path");

There are modules that do this (besides Trigger+Actions), such as LoginDestination: http://drupal.org/project/login_destination. This Drupal forum post has a bit more info about it as well.

This can be achieved by using a combination of content access and login toboggan modules. You'll be able to restrict pages and prompt user to login to access them.

First set the conditions in form preprocess (for example I want to redirect only users that logged in using the form at node page)

function YOURMODULE_form_user_login_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id)
{
    $pathArguments = explode('/', current_path());
    if (count($pathArguments) == 2 && $pathArguments[0] === 'node' && is_numeric($pathArguments[1])) {
        $form_state['nodepath'] = current_path();
    }

}

than define redirect:

function YOURMODULE_user_login(&$edit, $account)
{
    if (isset($edit['nodepath']) && !empty($edit['nodepath'])) {
        drupal_goto($edit['nodepath']);
    }
}

How to redirect user to a specific page after they login if they belong to a certain role?
