Editing does not preserve page number from "list" view
This has likely been posted elsewhere, but after searching both via forum search & google I am unable to locate any exisiting threads.
Affected version:
All versions up to and including v4.0.2/stable & r1090/development
Expected behaviour:
When editing an image/link/comment/etc, user navigates to page number N. After saving edited item, user is directed back to the previous page number in “list” view for that particular subtab. For instance:
- Viewed page:
domain.tld/textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=list&page=3 - User edits item
- Item is saved
- Returned page:
domain.tld/textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=list&page=3
Actual behaviour:
Page number is dropped, returning user to the top-level list page for that item. This creates a very labor-intensive editing system when you need to edit many items buried below the first page.
- Viewed page:
domain.tld/textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=list&page=3 - User edits item
- Item is saved
- Returned page:
domain.tld/textpattern/index.php?event=discuss&step=list(via POST)

Yes I find this a little annoying as well Andrew especially as I have over 500 images. Suddenly going from page8 back to the beginning…… ugh! I did think it might be useful if there were a little page number menu. It wouldn’t be a perfect solution for this problem but would help, and it would also help for when you knew at the start that you needed to go to page 6 or 7 or whatever to find the image/file/link/comment. It could be handy for the article listing as well although at least you have the search facility for that.
I’m thinking this might be more of a “feature request” than a bug.

Yeah, I was torn between feature/bug but settled on bug because it’s a feature I (and most users) would expect.
