Retain editor/location URL parameters throughout user signup

[samanpwbb]

Right now,

We encode information about which editor you're using + your location in URLS. If I'm in Washington, DC in iD I get this URL:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id&lat=42.80866&lon=-87.94369&zoom=15

If I share this with a logged-in user, they'll be able to jump right into iD in that area. Pretty cool.

If I share it with a user who isn't logged in, the parameters in the URL are retained throughout the login process, but then we lose them once the user goes through e-mail confirmation. Cam we retain the URL parameters in the e-mail, and send the user to the destination encoded in the URL once they've truly finished the login process?

That shouldn't happen - the referer information is preserved as part of the token and retrieved when the account is confirmed and redirected to. At least that is what is supposed to happen.

I can confirm this on

This is probably due to some of my changes on the welcome branch -- I changed it to unconditionally redirect to /welcome after confirmation.

This will be fixed in #338, can close here.
