With this new knowledge I should be able to fix it so they are redirected back, even to a non-bbpress page. _ck_ on "here's a trick to redirect user back to topic after login" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-a-trick-to-redirect-user-back-to-topic-after-login#post-14276 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:33:04 +0000 _ck_ 14276@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I should note that mdawaffe has pointed out to me that apparently bbPress would do this previously if the user has referer's enabled in their browser. But since most "personal firewalls" block referers by default, you can't count on that behavior and this change will make it always work instead. 0.8.4 will supposedly have this new ability by default...

You rule. As usual. _ck_ on "here's a trick to redirect user back to topic after login" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-a-trick-to-redirect-user-back-to-topic-after-login#post-14268 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:18:11 +0000 _ck_ 14268@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I had not seen this posted before and I just (finally) figured it out so I thought I'd share. If you'd like to give the user a friendly redirect back to the topic (or forum) they were at just before they logged in (instead of the front page) simply open the <code>login-form.php</code> template in your theme and add this BEFORE the final <code></form></code> <pre><code><input type="hidden" name="re" value="<?php echo "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"].'?'.$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="<?php echo bb_get_option( 'uri' ) ?>" /></code></pre> Should work on anything except maybe IIS.
