What IS $returnid?

[damon]

Any good resource on understanding what $returnid is, and how to use it?

$returnid is the destination page.  it's used to know what page to return to.

That's what I'd think, too.  But the value seems to always be 0 or null;  How would I, for example, do an action and return to the calling page?  I've tried:

Code: Select all

$this->Redirect($returnid)

  and a bunch of stuff like it, but to no avail.

returnid is irrelevant and will be 0 or null when handling an admin action.... but on the frontend it'll be valid.
