If you are using client variables, then these will be persistent after
logout and regardless of server reboots etc, presuming you don't delete them
all after logout.
So when someone logs out, you can store their last page in a client
variable.
When they next login, redirect them to the URL stored in that variable.
If you are not using client variables, then you can use cookies, but this
of course may get deleted. Best to store the URL in the database when they
logout and retrieve it after they login.
The trick is getting the last page. You cannot rely on http_referer, so you
would need to send the last url to the logout page.
You could do this by appending the following to all links.

>- see footer for list info -<
I have an application and the client has asked for the following...
"Modify current system login to return the user to the page they were last
looking at when logged out and re login"
What they are asking for is when the application variable times out and the
user is logged out at present they are sent to the login page and then after
successful login they are sent to the default page. How can I return the
user to the page they were last looking at? I think this is a job for a
cookie. The problem is not all of our users allow cookies.
So. are cookies the best way to go?
Is there some facility in CF that I can use to do this?
IS this best done by writing something to the database to track the page the
user is looking at? (sounds unecconomical this ..)
Any ideas code snippets?
Regards - Paul
