I think the session is the right place for this. If you'd like to do it a more structured way I would recommend checking out friend, which supports this sort of thing.
The restricted macro in lib-noir
is meant to provide basic access restriction, so I don't make assumptions about having a session available.
I was planning to use the
restricted
macro after reading about it in http://yogthos.net/blog/37 , but then I realized that it doesn't support a way to store the originally requested URL. For example, if a not logged-in user tries to access a page that requires to log in, then, after redirecting to the login page, and once the user is logged in, it's often desirable to redirect to the originally requested page.I guess the rule function may be used to store this originally requested URL in the session, but it doesn't seem appropriate to me that the rule function has a side-effect like this.
Do you know of a better way to handle this?
