Description
The methods provided by this plugin extends and enhances the redirect helpers provided by Wheels.
Here's an example requirement. For user authentication, it is typical to do a redirect to a login page when the user tries to access a protected page. But, where do they go after login? It is nice to remember their original URL and send them back. RedirectAway() and RedirectBack() make this easy.
Usage/Examples
Here is a listing of the methods that are added by this plugin.
- FlashRedirectToIndex (flashMessage) - Inserts a notice message into the the Flash and redirects to the index action..
- FlashRedirect (flashMessage, [value]) - Inserts a notice message into the the Flash and calls RedirectTo(). You can pass any RedirectTo values to the method.
- RedirectAway (variableName, [value]) - Saves the currentURL to the session, and calls RedirectTo(). You can pass any RedirectTo values to the method.
- RedirectBack (variableName, [value]) - If the currentURL is defined in the session, redirects there. If it isn't defined, calls RedirectTo().
