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 ac

Answer 1

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']);
    }
}
