[Bug 1387511] Re: cancel button in sendmessage.php should bring user back to previous page

 

Hm, I think the reason it sends you back to "My friends" is because
(before we added the "Compose" button) you initiated a message send by
clicking on "Send message" on a user profile page. But, since it may
contain multiple recipients, it didn't make sense to send you back to
just one of their profile pages, so it sends you to the Friends list
instead.

But you know... I think maybe the most logical place to send you, would
be to the "Sent messages" page. So that you can get a visual
confirmation that your message was sent.

Title:
  cancel button in sendmessage.php should bring user back to previous
  page

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  After clicking the 'Compose' tab as discussed in bug 1385412
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1385412 and then clicking
  'cancel' the user is re-directed to  user/myfriends.php

  I believe it would be an inprovement if the user would be directed
  back to the inbox after clicking cancel. I think cancel buttons
  usually return to the previous page.   Doing so would be consistent
  with behavior of the cancel button when the user clicks 'send message'
  to a particular users in htdocs/user/find.php

  To achiev emy proposal, the following works for me:

  line 165 /htdocs/artefact/multirecipientnotification/sendmessage.php

  $goto = 'user/myfriends.php';   to   $goto =
  'artefact/multirecipientnotification/inbox.php';
