Get last visited node

Can you please explain more about it "I need to know the name of the node the user comes from. Is it possible to get the previous node (the node which generated the page which called the current page) and how ?"

You can create a cookie with this information when user is on node named "A" and then set the form input value reading and assigning cookie value to its value getting input element by id.

You can create a template operator that sets and get a session value using ezhttptool: lib/ezutils/classes/ezhttptool.php

But it isn't as straightforward as using cookies.

Maybe {ezhttp( 'LastAccessesURI', 'session' )} could work, but you will need to fetch the node of the last access URI or something else, don't know, never tried.

Another way could be with $view_parameters, so you link your node b url as path_to_nodeB/(title)/NodeA Tiltle

Then in template you access node A name with {$view_parameters.title}

I've just finished using a HTTP GET parameter. Works like a charm, and does not need cookies or sessions.

I appended directly to the link URL the GET param (in the A node template) :

<a href={concat("bla/blabla/form?idselected=", $node.node_id)|ezurl}>my link</a>

Then in the form template, I used the ezhttp operator :

{if ezhttp_hasvariable( 'idselected', 'get' )}
    {def $idselected=ezhttp( 'idselected', 'get' )}
{/if}

Thank you for your help, Thiago !
