RE: [Webware-discuss] How to know the after page?

[Greg M. <gmc...@th...>]

Hey Michel,

:: The problem is that if I=B4m in some restrict page, i go to login page
:: and have a general congratulation message, rather i want to go back to
:: the restrict page when the user make the login...

Hmmm. Is there some reason to ever have an individual 'congratulations'
page? You might consider indicating a successful login by having a small
message on your pages that indicates whether the user is logged in or not=
,
perhaps by displaying their login name: "Welcome, DaffyDuck!" if they're
logged in, and "Sign in" if they're not.

That way you could *always* pass the 'restricted' page to the login page =
and
always return your user there (or anywhere you wanted depending on the
referring page).

:: I think to pass a request variable to the login page, this request
:: variable tells from what page the login was requested, if there is no
:: request variable, the login was called directly from the FomLogin.

See, if you always passed the referring URL and always returned your user=
 to
that page (or some page based on it, maybe some dictionary of
"referringPage: destinationPage" mappings if needed), you would never get
into this other if-then issue of whether your request variable is there o=
r
not. Instead, you've simply made a contract with your login system to alw=
ays
supply that variable no matter what.

:: Is there something done in this area?

I haven't seen anything. I'm rolling my own stuff in this area. I think
everyone is, so far. But I'm trying to come up with something that plugs =
in.

Peace,
Greg
