[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH 0/3 WIP] Let frontend redirect user after logging

[Wen Wang]

Thanks Aline,

for 1), I haven't found the place where the browser could get the var 
next_url and it did the redirect in the backend without giving anything 
to the front-end, which is the front end don't need "next_url", but 
instead we have lastPage stored in the cookie.

for 2) I sent a patch that can fix the quote appeared in "lastPage". 
Please apply the patch: [PATCH] Have the quote deleted from the url 
located in "lastPage" for it.

There still exists one problem, The login page use form to finish the 
redirection. The login page is totally seperated from the kimchi logged 
UI. varibles could not pass between those two htmls. We have two 
solutions that can save the varibles like user and role: 1. set the 
cookie with the role( since the username has already been stored. 2. We 
possibly need an API that have the Get method so that browser could use 
it for querying the role of the user.

Best Regards

Wang Wen
