How i normally do this is to have an application.rb method which saves
the current url to the session, and another that redirects to the stored
url (which should have a default in case it can't find it). Then, in
pages which i want to bookmark for returning to (you might not want
someone to get sent back to some pages), then save the url.
EG in application.rb
def store_location
session['saved_location'] = request.request_uri
end
def redirect_to_back_or_default(default)
if session['saved_location'].nil?
redirect_to default
else
redirect_to session['return-to']
session['saved_location'] = nil
end
end
Then, in a page that you want the user to be able to go back to:
<% store_location %>
Then, just call
'redirect_to_back_or_default('enter your chosen default url here,
depending on context')
to send someone back.
I think i copied this off someone else a while ago so props if this is
your code
