Save user url request (get & post) in Rails

Question

I have devise authentication, he save ip and user count, but I need to save url's address, what current user see (get and post request).

Example: http://example/example?search....

How I save this example and others url's pages when user surfing on site.

Answer 1

You can use request.url in the action of your controller to determine the requested URL.

Further to know, whether a request is of type GET or POST , you can use these two methods :

request.get?

 OR

request.post?

Answer 2

For Rails 3.2 or Rails 4 you can use request.original_url to get the current URL.

In your application_controller.rb :

before_filter :save_url

  def save_url
    # here you should save request.original_url
  end

You can specify actions's names in before_filter:

 before_filter :save_url, :only => :index

If you render some view from more actions, not just index , add them:

before_filter :save_url, :only => [:index,:name]
