Sending a user back to their last visited page after an error occurs
I have an error page that emails me whenever an error occurs within the application. What I am running into is that I have a link on the error.cfm page that points the person back to the index.cfm page. Well, the path of this link doesnt point to the correct file (I guess this has something to do with mapping).
So, I figured it probably would be better to point the user back to the last page they were on before the error occured. Only thing is, I'm not sure on how to determine the last visited page.
Code:
Application.cfm
-------------------------
<cferror type="exception" exception="ANY" mailto="mail@mydomain.com"
Error.cfm
------------------
<!--- Email Error Message --->
<cfmail from="mail@mydomain.com" to="#Error.MailTo#" subject="Error in #Error.Template#">
#Error.Template#
#Error.DateTime#
#Error.Diagnostics#
#Error.Browser#
</cfmail>
<html>

<cfparam name="session.thisPage" default="">
<cfparam name="session.lastPage" default=""
<cfset session.lastPage = session.thisPage>
<cfset session.thisPage = cgi.script_name>
Have your link point to #session.lastPage#.
Browse around a few pages, then hit one that causes and error and see if it comes through ok - I haven't tested this on my CF box, seems logical though.
