Hello All!
There is a database action that I want to do in several views.
Right now, I have it implemented as a link in each view as
<a href="db_action?id={{=item_id}}">Toggle Status</a>
How do I get my db_action() controller to return back to the page
with the link that called it?
Is there a way to cause the browser to do the equivalent of the "back"
button?
Something like:
response.view = find_the_controller(request.env.http_referer)
return dict()
won't work because I'm not returning the proper dictionary for the
referring controller.
Maybe something like:
dict_from_referring_controller =
run_referring_controller( request.env.http_referer )
# ? do I have to define the response view?
return dict_from_referring_controller
Perhaps the nicest/cleanest implementation would be with AJAX/JQuery,
but I haven't learned that yet.
Is there a way to do it with <a href> links? Or is that super-bad
form?
Thanks!
Luis.
