Rails - Oct 2005 - LoginGenerator - calling store_location for every page

Hey guys,

I have a site using LoginGenerator and everything is working great. My site
has certain actions that force logging in and certain actions that
don''t. A
user can log in at any time, regardless if his/her actions require
authentication. For the ones that require login, the before_filter works
great and store_location automatically redirects the user to the page
requested.

My question is, is there any way to return a user back to his/her original
location if they chose to log in clicking the "Log in" button as
opposed to
actually being forced to log in. My first intuition was to add
store_location to everything, but that doesn''t really sound like DRY.

Any help?

Thanks,
Jin

Dunno if this helps, but if you put store_location as a before filter in
your ApplicationController, you get DRY and still have it everywhere.
