Hi,  
The solution is simply save requested url in session and after user  
logged  
in send it back to  
the session url.

If you are using restful authentication, you may get the solution,  
[GitHub - technoweenie/restful-authentication: inactive project](http://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication).

# Redirect to the URI stored by the most recent store\_location call

or

# to the passed default. Set an appropriately modified

# after\_filter :store\_location, :only =\> [:index, :new, :show, :edit]

# for any controller you want to be bounce-backable.

def redirect\_back\_or\_default(default)  
redirect\_to(session[:return\_to] || default)  
session[:return\_to] = nil  
end
