D7 AJAX Form Redirect

You can set the redirection code after the form submit handler has processed the form values successfully. That should work.

the solution is to use ctools ajax redirect command
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--ajax.inc/group/ajax#comment-2...
you have to add
ctools_include('ajax');
ctools_add_js('ajax-responder');
to you callback function
take a look at ctools_ajax_sample_login_success function in ctools_ajax_sample.module

Hi,

For redirection in drupal if using Ajax, you will have to put following code.

ctools_include('ajax');
ctools_add_js('ajax-responder');
$commands[] = ctools_ajax_command_redirect('node/1');
print ajax_render($commands);
exit;

If you put the above code to your submit ajax handler , then it will redirect to certain url you provided in ajax command redirect.

Another solution would be to use the Rules module. Lots of forms show up in the Event list, so you can select them and add a redirect as Action.
May be a bit of a "heavy" solution but I had the module installed for other purposes anyway.

I know this is an old thread, but Google is still displaying it near the top of searches for Drupal 7 AJAX redirect so I thought I'd add my solution.

I added a Drupal.behaviors object via javascript (of which the 'attach' function I believe is automatically fired upon page load, and *before* an ajax form submission):

(function ($) {
  Drupal.behaviors.my_redirect = {
    attach: function() {
      
      $("form#form_id_here select#select_id_here").change(function(e){
        e.stopPropagation();
        //redirect the user to the node ID referenced in the chosen select list option (before the AJAX form is submitted!):
        window.location.pathname = '/node/' + $("option:selected", this).val();
      });
      
    }
  };

}(jQuery));

I had this same issue and found the $form_state['no_redirect'] was set to true just like trampjuice pointed out. This makes sense since the page is not being rebuilt by the server, the AJAX is only replacing sections of a full page.

I solved this by following the Drupal examples project. Check out the ajax_example_wizard() in ajax_example_graceful_degradation.inc, and see that the last submit is not AJAX:

if ($step == 3) {
    $form['submit'] = array(
      '#type' => 'submit',
      '#value' => t("Submit your information"),
    );
  }
  if ($step < 3) {
    $form['next'] = array(
      '#type' => 'submit',
      '#value' => t('Next step'),
      '#ajax' => array(
        'wrapper' => 'wizard-form-wrapper',
        'callback' => 'ajax_example_wizard_callback',
      ),
    );
  }

Do not add the '#ajax' attribute to any submit you want to do a redirection on.

You can redirect a user in an AJAX submitted form by doing the following:
1) Ajaxify your button
2) In your Ajax callback, create a custom 'redirect' command
3) In an external javascript file, redirect the user based on the command

Basic example:

/**
 * Form definition
 */
function mymodule_some_form($form, &$form_state)
{
  // 1) Create an ajaxified button
  $form['submit_button'] = array
  (
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => t('Redirect user'),
    '#prefix' => '<div id="some_form_wrapper">',
    '#suffix' => '</div>',
    '#ajax' => array
    (
      'wrapper' => 'some_form_wrapper',
      'callback' => 'mymodule_some_form_ajax_callback',
    ),
  );

  // 2) Add a javascript file (code to be shown further down)
  $form['#attached']['js'][] = array
  (
    'type' => 'file',
    'data' => drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') . '/js/some_form.js',
  );

  return $form;
}

// Note: submit function not shown as it's not relevant to this example.

/**
 * Ajax callback function
 */
function mymodule_some_form_ajax_callback($form, &$form_state)
{
  $commands = array();
  $commands[] = array
  (
    // Note: we will use this command in the .js file
    'command' => 'redirectUser',
    // The path the user is directed to is given here
    'path' => 'path/to/some/page',
  );

  return array('#type' => 'ajax', '#commands' => $commands);
}

Finally, some_form.js. We add our own custom Ajax command, redirectUser()

(function(Drupal)
{
  Drupal.ajax.prototype.commands.redirectUser = function(ajax, response)
  {
    // response.path is the path we gave in our Ajax callback
    window.location.reload(response.path);
  };
}(Drupal));

Thanks for all the suggested solutions that could help me to - no luck though. I have a similar problem that can't figure out a solution for, despite trying all responses here.

So, I have a form with two elements an option and a textfield. These are built-in with the form. In an ajax callback function, using Ajax commands, I add two other fields another textfield and a textarea.

So far, the form runs and rebuilds perfectly fine. But only visually. When I try to read the values typed in or stored-from-beginning, nothing happens except that only the values for the first two fields that were originally built-in with the form are displayed.

I think the problem is either 1) I am not rebuilding/rendering the form properly, or 2) I am not calling the elements/fields properly.

Thanks

This below snippet is working good for me

$path = "user";
ctools_include('ajax');
ctools_add_js('ajax-responder');
$commands[] = ctools_ajax_command_redirect($path);
print ajax_render($commands);
exit;
