Edit-part gets lost, when redirecting after Login

Hi Arie,

you are right: your proposed syntax the 'edit[myvar]=190' is not lost any more.

But that's only because the syntax for the query is now broken and so the 'myvar' not stored in the $_GET-variable and the whole mechanism is not working any more.

Does anybody have a better suggestion?

I'm still waiting for a solution.

Hi Arie,

might it be, that you are a little bit impatient? This issue is from 01/2008 and nobody had an answer for me till now. But you expect me to answer to your posting within a few days.

I’ve had a hack in the core for this issue, so it was not as urgent as in January 08 any more. But I wanted to get this fixed “in the right way”.

As a result of the hints in your posting I examined the problem again and found that I did the programming based on the query-functionality. So the url-variable normally was handed over by the attribute $query of the function l(), which resulted in the following link-syntax: http://www.mysite.com/node/add/image?&edit[myvar]=190.

Now I did some experiments and found, that the ‘$edit’ was not necessary, resulting in $query = ‘myvar=190’, and as a result of this: http://www.mysite.com/node/add/image?myvar=190.

For a not registered user the result was: http://www.mysite.com/user/login?destination=node/add/image?myvar=190, witch also worked fine.

But it did not work for http://www.mysite.com/user/register?destination=node/add/image?myvar=190, because after the registration a 403-error page is displayed and in function drupal_access_denied() (common.inc) only the $_GET[‘q’] variable is handed over but not the the $_GET[‘myvar’].

So I decided to dispense with the query-mechanism ant put everything into the ‘q’-string.
Now I use the l() function without the $query-parameter and put everything into the $path-parameter, which changes from $path = ‘node/add/image’ to $path = ‘node/add/image/myvar/190’. Instead of accessing $_GET[‘myvar’] inside the module I do everything with the arg()-function now.

This seems to work for the logged in user as well as for the not registered user (still testing).

I hope this helps other drupallers having the same problem.
