View:
$options = array(
'/things/view/%id' => 'View this thing',
'/things/index' => 'Go back to the index'
);
echo $form->input('WhatToDo.next', array('options' => $options,
'label' => 'What do you want to do next?'));
Controller:
// ...
if ($this->Thing->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("Your thing has been saved");
// Grab the submitted URL or default
$url = empty($this->data['WhatToDo']['next']) ? '/' : $this-
>data['WhatToDo']['next'];
// Handle any parameters here
$url = str_replace('%id%', $this->Thing->id, $url);
// Go there
$this->redirect($url);
}
// ...
Might be worth putting this sort of logic in a component if you use it
a lot... Also make sure you validate the submitted url
There are more secure ways of doing this, of course...
