[opencms-dev] Retaining URL parameters in 'backlink' property fordirect editing?

[Jonathan Woods]

Only thing I can think of is bit nasty: when the page is rendered, and if
the rendering is for the offline project only, then you could stash the
value of the attribute in the session and later retrieve it after editing
(failing gracefully if not there or if not in the offline project) to
redisplay the right data.

fordirect editing?

We're using URL paramaters a fair bit in our site, and I've run into
something that is a bit annoying.

Say I'm at an URL like:
http://my.site/path/to/view_support_category.html?category=generalinfo

then the taglib generated form for direct editing contains a value:
<input type="hidden" name="backlink" value="path/to/
view_support_category.html">

without the parameter. "?category=generalinfo"

This means that when the user closes the structured content editor, they get
returned to:
http://my.site/path/to/view_support_category.html

rather than:
http://my.site/path/to/view_support_category.html?category=generalinfo

We're handling the situation where there is an empty $ {param.category}
gracefully, but I was wondering if there is any kind of a solution for
having the user actually return to the page they were at, including the
parameter?
