currently I am keeping trace of locations before authentication using an application_controller action
def store_location session[:return_to] = request.filtered_parameters # and not ...session[:return_to] = request.fullpath end so, I get session[:return_to] => {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"analyses", "locale"=>"en_GB"} I use an Ajax request to authenticate and a create a session, then I need to return to the saved session[;return_to] # POST /resource/sign_in def create .... .. sign_in(resource_name, resource) ... respond_with resource do |format| format.js { @url = session[:return_to] || root_url render :action => "signed_in.js" } end end signed.js $(location).attr('href',"<%= @url %>"); but it's wrong as session[:return_to] = {"action"=>"index", "controller"=>"analyses", "locale"=>"en_GB"}, and not an URL Any idea on how I can generate an url to be used by my .js url_for([:return_to]) doesn't work ... as it generate a relative path to the Devise session controller ActionController::RoutingError Exception: No route matches {:controller=>"users/analyses", :locale=>"en_GB"} thanks for your feedback -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
