[Pmwiki-users] store last visited page

[Patrick R. Michaud]

You can probably use PHP's $_SESSION variable to do something like this.

Try adding the following to local.php:

  session_start();
  if (!$pagename && @$_SESSION['lastpage']) Redirect($_SESSION['lastpage']);
  $_SESSION['lastpage'] = $pagename;

What this does is create a PHP session variable that keeps track of the 
last page the user visited in $_SESSION['lastpage'].  If the user comes
back to PmWiki without specifying a pagename (e.g., via a URI ending in
'pmwiki.php' with no pagename), the browser is automatically redirected 
to the last page the user was on within the wiki.

Let me know if this works/helps.
