Hi,
I think you are looking for something like this:
By using the filters to check if the user is logged in or not and showing
him the login partial. Now in the controller, if the user is successfully
logged in try calling a method similar to the following:
redirect_back_or_default('/')
def redirect_back_or_default(default)
session[:return_to] ? redirect_to_url(session[:return_to]) :
redirect_to(default)
session[:return_to] = nil
end
The above is extracted from the restful_authentication plugin.
There the url is getting stored in the session[:return_to] where the user is
redirected once authenticated.
Please correct me if wrong.
