Question

I would like to know if there is a way to differentiate a user depending on which page he comes from.

In my template, I would like to display something only if the user comes from a specific view (I wan’t to display the same page I display for the others users, but adding a popup telling him something).

Is there a way to do that?

Thank you for your help

There are several ways to do that:

• You can set a cookie in the first view, and check its value in the destination view. Don’t forget to clean the cookie if the user goes through another page in between. Downside is that the user can disable cookies in his browser.
• Depending on the way the user goes to the destination view (a link or a form), you can use a GET or a POST parameter.
• Use sessions
