Pagination Recall

By Matt Curry aka "mattc"

Does it drive you nuts when you edit an item on page 4 of a list, then when you save you're dropped back to page 1 with the list back in the default order? The PaginationRecall component automatically remembers the page you were on and the sorting so you're returned to the same spot on the list.

1 Thanks for it

Your component is very useful. Many times when I modified something I was dropped to the first page. Now it's more comfortable :]

2 Why not make use of the referer

For example many times I'll be paging through a sorted list of records and want to edit a particular one. After I edit and save I'm dropped back to the index with the default sorting on page 1.
Hi, from the above description the problem could easily be avoided if instead of redirecting to the index, you redirected to (the referer url when they first entered the edit function) when the edit was finished.
The only time what i propose wouldn't work is if you are storing settings in the session.

3 Referer is good

I agree with Andy I have used that technique because it does not only redirects to the index it can redirect you from a diferent controller, anyway I think the component is nice.

Doh! I knew as soon as I published this someone would show me an easier way. Thanks for the tip Andy.
