How do I redirect back to a page I'm currently on?

Tags:

In my users photo album page they see photos they have uploaded and each photo has a 'make default' link on it. When the user clicks make default, then the id of the photo is stored in the photo_id column of my profiles table.

The issue is redirecting them back to:

localhost:3000/settings/photo_gallery/:id

Is there a way I can redirect back to the photo album using the id of the photo that has just been set as the default? Can Rails find what album I want to redirect to just by looking at the id of a photo, as a photo belongs to a photo album, and a photo album has many photos?

I have the following tables in my database:

  • User(s): has one profile, has many PhotoAlbums
  • Profile(s): belongs to user
  • PhotoAlbum(s): belongs to user, has many photos
  • Photo(s): belongs to PhotoAlbum

Controller action:

def set_default_profile_photo

  photo = Profile.find_by_user_id(current_user.id)
  photo.photo_id = params[:photo_id]
  photo.save

  redirect_to "**HERE IS WHERE I'D LIKE TO REDIRECT TO THE PHOTOALBUM THE PHOTO IS IN**"
  flash[:success] = "Default photo set!"

end

My routes:

                    users GET    /users(.:format)                                  {:action=>"index", :controller=>"users"}
