Title:
  When you're required to fill in mandatory fields after login, you
  should be sent to your requested URL afterward

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As originally described here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/946880/comments/15

  "I have another suggestion, with a patch that I've just pushed.

  The required fields form works by hijacking any link that the user has
  requested, so all we need to do after the user has successfully
  addressed the requirements is drop out of generating the form and let
  the normal execution for the requested URL continue. My patch
  accomplishes that by adding a small amount of code allowing this to
  happen. It relies on the fact that $form->build() always returns a
  string (the rendered HTML), and instead returns FALSE if we need to
  back out of the form generation.

  I've successfully tested it by running an install on the URL
  http://mahara, which causes the warning about the noreply email
  address. I then clicked on the noreply link (fixed by the first patch
  of the two in the submission) and was taken to the site_options URL,
  overridden by the required fields form. After the required fields form
  was submitted with a valid admin password, the page loaded with the
  requested form for setting the noreply link.

  At the point where I clicked on the noreply link, I also clicked on
  other links, opening them in other tabs. All tabs displayed the
  required fields form under the requested URL, as expected. After
  successful submission on one of the tabs, reloading all other tabs
  then displayed the expected page content."
