I have a friendship system where users can create new friendships from different views. The idea is to redirect them to where they initially requested, accepted, etc... the friendship. To do this, I need to store the URL path from where they are sending the request. Is there a way to save the initial URL (from where the request mas made to the friendships controller). Any light on this?

I use the following code to redirect them to the page they requested before
they logged in. Maybe this will get you on the right path. I put it in the
controller under protected.
# Protect a page from unauthorized access.
def protect
unless logged_in?
session[:protected_page] = request.request_uri
flash[:notice] = "Please log in first"
redirect_to :action => "login"
return false
end
end
# Redirect to the previously requested URL (if present).
def redirect_to_forwarding_url
if (redirect_url = session[:protected_page])
session[:protected_page] = nil
redirect_to redirect_url
else
redirect_to :action => "index"
end
end

Hi Sean thanks for the response. I thought about a solution based on your answer, but I am not happy with it. My solution consisted on having a before_filter on the controllers I know there might be a call to the friendships controller. This before_filter will be used to save the URL. And then, have a before_filter on the application controller where I do this: if params[:controller] != "friendships" session[:return_to] = nil end The thing is that having this before_filter every time for every controller doesn''t seems right.
