Option to redirect to previous page or current page [#2425477]

What I often need is a redirect to the previous page after creating a node (for example a task).
When the task node create form is embedded in the tasks overview page (as a panel pane for example) as form block, a refresh of the current page is needed after task creation.

Hi, did you have any ideas on how to implement this functionality? If you make a start i am more than happy to finish it off and commit it.

Before I got NSR working, I was adding $_GET['q'] to a field in the node form and then redirecting to it from the submission handler.

$form['where_to'] = $_GET['q'];

...

$form_state['redirect'] = $form['where_to'];

Hi,
I'm using this module to make drupal stay on the node's edit form after saving it - but with vertical tabs you can have a url pointing directly to a particular tab :

node/nid/edit/#id-of-the-vertical-tab

i've made a patch for this using the form hidden value : additional_settings__active_tab

Ill try and get this tested and committed, we might have to make a conditional check for the existence of 'additional_settings__active_tab' before adding it as a fragment.

Hello,
Is there any update? Really need to get back to previous page after create a new task.
I do have a content type School and I do have another content type building. In school I do have a views with building and added button to create a new building with the reference to School id (prepopulate). Once I save and create new building I am redirected to new building page, however need to get back to School - so previous page.
