I had the same requirement in an app I developed. I'm not exactly an
expert, but the way I did it was to overwrite the method
_set_return_to by putting the following in app/controllers/
application.rb -
-------------------
class Exceptions < Merb::Controller
private
# Overwriting the definition in merb-auth-more/mixins/
redirect_back.rb
def _set_return_to
session[:return_to] ||= []
unless request.uri =~ /login/
# i.e. we will go to where we were going to before the exception
session[:return_to] << request.uri
else
# i.e. if we got here from the login link, we will go back to
where we came from
session[:return_to] << request.referer
end
session[:return_to]
end
end
------------------
