Re: [mv] Login Return Page...

Shawn,

I had a similar problem and solved it by adding this somewhere in each page
(usually the top) they can get to login from:
	[value name="myprevpage" set="@@MV_PAGE@@" hide=1]

then in the loginform page, added this:
	<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="[value myprevpage]">

MV4.04 has a history mechanism that could possibly be used also. Mike
mentioned it earlier, but I haven't looked into it at all. In my case,
I potentially had more than one level* to pop out of, so I don't know
if the history stuff would work any way.

* I.e. from some page they could click on "login" which takes them to the
login form, from which if they're a new user, they can click on the
"registration" link. After registration, they get shown a "thanks for
registering page". When they click the OK button on that page, I wanted
to take them back to the page they started from. This is also why just
using @@MV_PREVPAGE@@ wouldn't work for me.
