Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Links to phpGW items

[Dave Hall]

Daniel & mr_e,

This is also a feature I desire.  Sime time ago I had some thoughts
about how (but not actually tried) to implement this.  Here is my
suggestion:

Somewhere in the login.php script file:

$server_absolute_url = ( ( !is_intger (strpos
($GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['server']['webserver_url'], 'http') ) && (
strpos ($GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['server']['webserver_url'], 'http') !=0 )
)  ? $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .
$GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['server']['webserver_url'] :
$GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['server']['webserver_url'] );

if( !empty (trim( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ) )
{
  $link_url = strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $server_absolute_url )
  if( $link_url )
  {
    $this->t->set_var('goto', $GLOBALS['phpgw']->link($link_url);
  }
}
else
{
  $this->t->set_var('goto', $GLOBALS['phpgw']->link($link_url);
}
Then somewhere in the script that checks the login:

if( !empty( $_POST['goto'] ) )
{
  Header('Location: ' . $GLOBALS['phpgw']->link( $_POST['goto'] ) );
  exit;
}

As I said I have not implemented this and it is only a concept, but it
might give someone the inspiration to do it and I am sure people can
improve on it.  I have not looked at that code for some time. I also
apologie for the poor formatting ... email is not real good when you
need the col width to be wider than 80chars :)

The other advantage is that if a user's session times out they are able
to re login and return to where they left off.  Unfortunately they may
still lose their very long email they were bashing out ... but they
should have had the notify window open.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

skwashd
