Question |
| I have a page with cfincludes for the header and footer. I want to add a cfmail form in the footer for contacting the webmaster. Once the e-mail is sent I want to add a link to the full URL of the page the user was on when originally clicking to submit comments (i.e. "return to the page I was at"). How do I record the page I was at? | ||
| When you create your link to the feedback page, simply append the current file name. For example:
<cfset ref = cgi.script_name & "?" & cgi.query_string>
<a href="feedback.cfm?ref=#urlEncodedFormat(ref)#">
Your feedback form will look for the value, url.ref, which is the url (including any query string information). You should be sure to store the value as a hidden form field so that the value doesn't expire. After the form is submitted you could then simply use cflocation to push the user back, or provide a dynamic link back.
This is also useful in cases where you have a login form. You could modify the technique above so that when a user is forced to logon, they then get directed to the page they had originally requested. |
