I have created a news list page in Hippo CMS. The news documents are listed properly, paginated (10 articles per page), with a detail page where the full news document is displayed.
I'd like to put a "back" link to the bottom of the detail page which can lead the user back to the list, to the exact page where the user clicked on the currently displayed article.
I thought this was a very common thing but had to realize the Essentials News component doesn't support this, and I wasn't able to find anything related in the documentation either.
What is the best approach to implement this feature?
I see. So you basically want browser back button functionality....like:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">back</a>
In ftl you could ask for referer option:
<@hst.defineObjects />${hstRequest.getHeader('referer')}
In jsp you would need JSP scriptlet, e.g:
<%=request.getHeader("referer")%>
