Drupal 6: Redirect Users to your Frontpage/Startpage/node after they logged in

In Drupal 6 this can be done with core modules like this:

  1. enable Trigger module
  2. add an action
  3. add advanced action at the bottom and choose “Redirect to URL”
  4. use description regardless of how you will use it but rather describing what this action does; e.g. “redirect to start node”
  5. as URL apply “node”
  6. set-up the appropriate trigger
  7. from the drop-down list at “Trigger: After a user has logged in” select your new action from just now
  8. log out and back in again to test it

Note: In the links provided you need to change saying “your-domain-path-to-drupal” by your actual domain name (or navigate as usual if you now where to find the settings pages in Drupal 6) to make it http://example.com/admin. If you happen to have clean urls disabled you might know already that you also need to prefix the admin path by “?q=” so it alltogether looks like this: http://example.com/?q=admin
