Bug Description

Hi,

At the most recent Machara (Scottish Mahara User Group) meeting we had a short session on usability and workflow to come up with ideas for improving usability - I'll submit a couple of ideas resulting from that.

This isn't a bug - more of a logical workflow issue.
The ability to edit a journal entry directly from the page it is visible on is great, but when you save the changes the user anticipates that this will exit to return to the page that they were working on - instead it exits to the journal, so they then have to go back and find the original page again. If it was possible for Mahara to note the context of where the user started the editing and return to the same place after saving the changes this would be much less confusing.

Thanks, Gordon.

Bug 1269724: Return to the editing page after adding journal entry from the page

Added another query parameter in the url 'shortcutnewentryviewid' to know which view
the request for new entry came from and to know where to return to once new entry is made.
