If you send somebody a link to a topic (which looks like http://www.yoursite.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=123), and that forum requires you to login, you unfortunately end up in default.asp after you've loged in. This also happens on this site. I find this not very user-friendly. I want the user to get the topic displayed, after he has provided username and password.
Therefore, I've added the above code in the file forum_posts.asp, just before the line where the redirection to insufficient_permission.asp is; somewhere around line 305.

I am not clear on your code is supposed to go. Which file should this go into and where in the file would I place it?:

Session("FeedBackURL") = "forum_posts.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID

So, does doing this bring you back to the forum the topic is in instead of the topic itelf?

What I am trying to do is redirect the user back to the page they were on prior to being presented with a login screen.

Using the suggestion made in http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=22277 I've now got the required behaviour, i.e. after logging in you get the topic displayed and not the default forum page. The mod I've made is that I've not used the HTTP_REFERER variable (as that points to the page containing the link to the topic and not the forum topic itself, due the the redirect) but added

        Session("FeedBackURL") = "forum_posts.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID
 
just before the redirect to insufficient_permission.asp in file forum_posts.asp

I would imagine there's more changes and releasing part tested code isn't in anyone's intrest, just be patient for a little while as the beta of version 9 is due asap]]> Thu, 11 Jan 2007 12:03:25 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/redirect-after-login_topic22366_post119285.html#119285 <![CDATA[Redirect after login : So there you have it Moderators,...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/redirect-after-login_topic22366_post119282.html#119282 Author: ForumDummy

I have just made a test on this very board. I wanted to reply to this thread but since I was logged out, when I clicked the reply button I was taken to a login screen. Then, after loging in, I was redirected to the the correct forum but not to this topic page. I have two points to make here:

1) Why doesn't my forum work this way? I end up in the default page as Brandt indicates above.

2) It seems the most logical redirect would be a redirect to the page you were on prior to logging in.]]> Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:12:22 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/redirect-after-login_topic22366_post119269.html#119269
