The drupal_goto() drupal function (all 4.x-7.x) can be useful in many situations, here a simple example to place in your template.php theme file.
function conditional_user_goto() {
$output = '';
global $user;
if (in_array('authenticated user', array_values($user->roles))) {
$path = 'user/' . $user->uid . '/some/user/based/link';
drupal_goto($path);
}
else {
$output = t('<a href="@login">Login</a> or <a href="@register">register</a> to Some User Based Action.',
array('@login' => url('user/login', 'destination=alerting'),
'@register' => url('user/register', 'destination=alerting')));
}
return $output;
}Using print conditional_user_goto(); somewhere in your code (e.g. within a PHP block) will display a link to some user page (e.g. user page itself, tracks or subscription interface) to authenticated users, and a translatable “Login or register” message to anonymous users (I take this code from Job Posting module).
