Possible to redirect elsewhere after saving an entry?

Question

I'm editing an entry in the CP...

mysite.com/admin/entries/mySection/33-my-awesome-entry

Now when I save this entry, it will redirect me back to the entry index page. However, I'd like to override this behavior, and get redirected to a different page upon saving.

Is it possible to override the redirect target when saving an entry?

Yes!

Assuming you're using some sort of business logic plugin (if you don't have one, get one), then simply put this code in your main *Plugin.php file...

public function init()
{

    // Trigger template hook
    craft()->templates->hook('cp.entries.edit', function(&$context)
    {

        // Check to ensure that you're in the right section
        if ('mySection' == $context['sectionHandle'])
        {

            // Specify the preferred URI
            $uri = 'special-page/'.$context['entry']->uri;

            // Set the "Save" button redirect
            craft()->templates->includeJs("
                $(function () {
                    $('input[name=\"redirect\"]').val('{$uri}');
                });
            ");

            // Set the `cmd + s` shortcut redirect
            $context['saveShortcutRedirect'] = $uri;

        }

    });

}
