Refresh browser and stay on current page

9

Hello there, When I refresh the browser (F5) the application jumps back to the homepage. Is there a possibility to refresh the browser and stay on the current page? This will make the application far more intiutive in my perspective! Hopefully you can help me. Thank you in advance!

Since Mx 6.7, you can use the URL attribute of a page for Static pages (that do not require an input object).

The URL of the page can be used to directly navigate to the page, e.g. from external links or bookmarks. It will be shown in the address bar of the browser when you visit the page. When navigating to a page without a URL configured, the last visited URL is shown. Note that the full URL of the page will be the base URL of your application followed by /p and then by the configured URL of the page, e.g. http://example.mendixcloud.com/p/home_page. Only pages that do not need an object can have a URL.

you need to modified autologin module with current session + token and with deeplink you stay still on the existing page.

Thanks for the information Bart!

Would there be any way to refresh a page with an input object with pressing F5 in the browser?

Setting a parameter on the url with javascript, and then configuring deeplink to handle that parameter to send a user back to a specific page might give a solution for this.
