[Seaside] Redirect to the previous page

[Tony Fleig]

There is a feature in my TFLogin package that seems like it provides
something like what you want. Registration confirmation may happen in
another session, particularly if email confirmation is used. TFLogin
allows the application to save state in the "pending user" object.
When the registration is confirmed, that same user object is present
in the new session and can be used to restore the user's state. This
can also be used without email confirmation as well in which case it
works essentially the same way except that no new session is created.

Maybe TFLogin or something along the same lines would work for you.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the TFLogin documentation:

New user initialization

If you provide a one-argument block to the
TLLoginComponent>>#onRegistration: method, your block will be
evaluated with pending new user objects before the registration email
confirmation (if any) is sent. Your block should answer true to allow
the registration to proceed, or false to cancel the registration
without further interaction with the user. If you return false, you
should arrange to inform the user as to why their registration attempt
is being rejected.

In your onRegistration block, you can populate the new user's
applicationProperties dictionary with initial values. This can be
useful if, for example, you have allowed an unregistered user to work
at your website and for them to save their work you require them to
register for an account. Since the registration confirmation will take
place in another session the question arises as to where to save their
work during the registration confirmation process (and how to dispose
of it if the registration is not confirmed.) Saving the user's work in
the pending user object's applicationProperties dictionary provides
the answer. When the new user logs in the first time, anything placed
in their applicationProperties dictionary in the onRegister block will
be present in their TLSession user object.

Here is an example onRegistration block in which userObjects are saved
in the pending user's

applicationProperties:
    loginComponent: onRegistration: [ :pendingUser |
        pendingUser applicationProperties
            at: 'userObjects'
            put: self userObjects.
        true]
