similar to: redirect_to with hash vs string and docs

Hi, Something has been bothering me for a long time and I''d like to know what other think about this common situation with Rails. Someone is looking at http://example.com/user/new where there is a form that POSTs the data to the user/create action.

I am trying to deal with a redirection based upon what to do after a session has expired.

This questions extends to render method as well, I want is to avoid DoubleRenderError exception. --

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''m sketching out a error handler, something like if cando = false redirect_to( :controller => Oops, :action => ''accessdenied'', :type => ''alarm'', :message => ''no_permission_to_view'', :return_to => saved_url, ) else .... end Is this an

Hi, I have four controllers: one for the store front and three for the store admin. In each controller I have copied and pasted exactly the same code.
