I am using ruby on rails and have things on my site that users can click to save and they are redirected to a page with both a login and a signup so that the user can continue with either option and save the content. The creates a problem for showing the proper user validation errors, b/c I need to use a redirect_to users/new in order to pass the params with the object id that the user is saving and if I use render :new, the errors are displayed but the object id is lost. Anyone have any solutions for this?

Store the original item id in the session, proceed with your normal login/signup process, when that completes, if there is a save item in the session, redirect to the action that handles the save (it can now grab the item id from the session and proceed).
