Feature Proposals » Parameterized variables in the redirectto parameter

Motivation

redirectto can contain $variable parameters that come from the URL parameters (or POSTed form fields). It is more ideal to be able to use $topic and $web to retrieve the topic/web names that have just been saved, so that the redirectto parameter can be easily passed around when multiple levels of redirections and/or form submissions are involved. This is useful especially when the topic name is dynamically determined (e.g. using AUTOINC or JavaScript).

Description and Documentation

Th value of redirectto can contain $topic and $web.

Below is an example usage:

The same variables are applicable to SAVEREDIRECTTO preference variable. (SetRedirecttoByPrefVar)
