The login destination module provides a way to customize the destination that the user is redirected to after login
The Login destination module provides very nice features including:

4. Set up appropriate permissions to administer the login destination configurations at yourdomain.com/admin/user/permissions

5. Navigate to yourdomain.com/admin/user/login_destination to configure the login destination rules

6. Add a condition on which the login destination should take place, for example at a certain path, you can even execute custom php code here

7. Setup the destination that the login will redirect to, you can also set some custom rules here using php

This module is very useful as a customizable login destination page without having to write any custom coding, and even when u do!!
