This is a Drupal very simple way of redirecting users after login, based on their user role.
1. Add a new block.
2. Insert the following code into the block body:
<?php
// invokes current user object.
global $user;
// creates an array of role names for this user.
$roles = array_values($user->roles);
// checks if this user belongs to that role and then redirects.
if(in_array("myrole",$roles)){ // redirect all users in role 'myrole' to 'mypage' after login.
drupal_goto("mypage");
}
// you can repeat this part for each role.
?>3. Under "Show block on specific pages" select "Show on only listed pages" and insert "user/*" (without quotes)
4. Hit submit and select any region for that block to show in.
Here is a complete script that I found with several conditions based on User ID or ROLE name. The string for the role name much match exactly (case sensitive).
----------
<?php
global $user;
$roles = array_values($user->roles);
if ($user->uid==1) {
return 'admin';
}
elseif(in_array("website administrator",$roles)){
drupal_goto("admin");
}
elseif(in_array("member - leadership",$roles)){
drupal_goto(" "); //the black space indicates the site root
}
elseif(in_array("member",$roles)){
drupal_goto("gettingstarted"); //goes to a page with a URL alias of gettingstarted
}
elseif(in_array("authenticated user",$roles)){
drupal_goto("node/1"); //goes to node/1
}
elseif(in_array("non-member",$roles)){
drupal_goto("nonmember"); //goes to the panel with url alias 'nonmember'
}
else {
return 'node/9'; //catchall if nothing else takes for some odd reason.
}
?>
Thank you for sharing this, I was looking for a simple way to do this without installing yet another module. Even though you posted it long ago, it is still useful today! :)
