Redirect to Previous Page After Login

In my situation with Alien Cart(tm) it would be very useful to help keep a paying customer.

Right now if a customer is ready to checkout and "Guest Checkout" is disabled they would login and then get redirected straight to Your Account Page. Kinda like a dead end per say.

In previous carts I've built I added a continue shopping or continue checkout button in Your Account but I don't want to mod the core.

Has this feature ever been discussed to have as a settings for anyone that prefers this method?

Thanks

There is kind of a redirect feature in YA now in regards to the forum. Maybe we can come up with an idea to make it modular. That is the best solution I got at the moment.

Are you storing the 'basket' content in a cookie or anything that could then be read back in once the user has registered?

Alien Cart(tm) has a feature in admin where you can choose to store as a session or cookie.

I just don't want to mod the core unless we come up with "Raven Nuke Merchant" where Raven Nuke(tm) is modded more e-commerce friendly like redirects, address book in Your Account etc..

Could it be done with a custom file be loaded into mainfile? Just a thought.

So I'm guessing the Alien Cart (tm) customer info/login is going to be tied in with RavenNuke user login? eg. so users don't need to register 2 accounts on the same site - one for the cms and the other for the store?

If so, are you going to use RNYA custom fields for billing, shipping, etc info? Sounds like a very complicated process, but would be incredibly awesome for having a store!

or I'm assuming that the cart just stores customer info in its own tables?

That would be the smart thing to do and I am sure he has taken this path. As long as in his "customer tables" the only reference between it and nuke_users is the user_id, should not be no problem.
