It is not working because you are settings auth.settings.login_next
within the scope of one http request, after redirect you have another
http request and everything is reset. Only session variables persist
from one http request to another.
You can simplify your code and do what you ask in this way:
def index():
meetingparm = (request.env.http_host or '').split('.')[0]
meeting = db(db.meeting.link==meetingparm).select().first()
if meeting:
next =
URL('meetings','getmeetingpassword',args=meeting.id)
redirect(URL('user',args='login',vars=dict(_next=next)))
return dict(message=T(''))
I think you want
(request.env.http_host or '').split('.')[0]
instead of
request.env.http_host.split('.')[1]
but that is a guess.
