I worked it out but didn't think it needed a full write-up... it probably is useful though, so cheers. Very useful methods anyway... I'd hacked some really quite unpleasant solutions to that little problem before I discovered them. No problem.

Very useful methods anyway… I’d hacked some really quite unpleasant solutions to that little problem before I discovered them.

I ran into the exact same issue today, and after following the link from your post above, I found the solution in the form of the "keep" method. In my case, I have three actions; a, b & c, where a redirects to b with a flash message, and b redirects to c. By default, the flash message is lost by the time c is rendered. To get around the problem, I changed action 'b' as follows: def b ... flash.keep redirect_to :action => :b end Now when c is rendered, the message set in a is present. Thanks anyway for the link!
