similar to: redirect back to where I was before action?

Hi, I have a bunch of link_to''s in my code that are simple Back buttons that should basically just go to the previous request. Is there a way of doing this without specifying the action to execute? The problem is, sometimes I may render the same view through separate actions so I wouldn''t know which action to go back to. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

Hi ! I was talking to a seasider and he asked me if it was easy to do the following thing using rails : 1) ask a number to the user 2) ask a second number 3) give the addition of the two number and a link to be able to replay All these things have to be done in one controller and one action, there is no need for verification and other stuff.

I have a few pages where a user may do something (add tags, login, etc) and I would like to redirect them back to the last page they were at before calling that action. Is there an easy way to do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

There are groups within our app that people can be invited too. If a user recieves an invite to a group and hasn''t yet added the application the filter chain ends up redirecting them to the main canvas page instead of the the group page directly. Is there a way to handle this if the user hasn''t installed the app, I tried redirect_back_or_default in one of my controllers but it

Hi, Is session[:return_to] something Rails maintains to quickly go back to the previous uri without having to keep track of the action name? Or, do we have to actually set it in our actions?

Hi I have an action which saves the originating resource from which it was called, and returns to it later. This is done by setting: session[:return_to] = request.referer ... redirect_to(session[:return_to]) Which works great for GET resources. The problem is that POST variables aren''t kept in request.referer, so this method fails when the originating resource is a a POST.

Hello all, There seems to be a bug in internet explorer 5 where a redirect causes the session to be lost. A controller says.... def login case @request.method when :post if @session[:user] = User.authenticate(@params [:user_login], @params[:user_password]) return redirect_to(:action=>''send_confirmation'') unless

Hi, Suppose I have a resource such as http://localhost:3000/topsecret/data that requires the user to login first. What I did was make use of before_filter to check and see if the session variable is set with the logged in user''s id (similar to the example in "Agile Web Development with Rails"). However while the filtering function does work correctly in redirecting the

Hey all, Recently I''ve been looking into on how to return back to a previous referring URL and and the most common approach is: redirect_to session[:return_to] But some recommend: redirect_to(session.delete(:return_to) || default) How I understand it, in the second example we call session.delete so it will clear the return path since we will no longer need it, and we also use

I am trying to make a barebones login system based on this example (which in turn is just standard RoR login) but when I enter a user name and password, it says the login is unsuccessful every time.

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

Are there any best practices for implementing a back/cancel/return button... even when the page you want to return people too is 2 pages back (when people submit form and then want to return)?
