Question

I have 2 models, one called profile and a collection of profiles called profilelist.

One view shows a list of the profiles, its called profileListView and when you click on a profile, it loads a new view, profileDetailsView, where you can edit its details.

Now when i change properties in this profileDetailsView of this profile and do a model.Change, the profileListView rerenders, because it obviously listens to its model.
The problem is the view rerenders but the URL stays the same, pointing to the detailsview of the profile i changed, which messes up the navigation of the site.

So i want to stop the automatic rerendering of the profileListView and then manually ‘redirect’ to the listview.

How can I achieve this?

You probably do want the view to re-render, right? You just want the url to change too. So one option would be to have your router bind a handler on the model, and then have it update the URL – something like:

model.on('change', function(model) {
    var url = getTheCorrectUrl(model);
    router.navigate(url);
});
