You would only store in the DB when they actually logout.
The last_page can be tarcked in a session variable until they do that.

Good point Duncan.
Although cookies are less reliable, I do have an issue with the db column,
if it requires a db update on every page request.

p.s. sorry all for my double post.

paul, i take it you mean both if they get logged out due to inactivity, and
also if they log out one day and don't log back in until a few days later?

if so not sure Kerry's solution covers situation 2... in which case cookies
probably.  or add a LastPageLookedAt column in your user's table.

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
