I got this to work, but think there should be an easier way.
I added the following snippet to the default user controller:
# if user clicked a link and registers, take them to the meeting
after the registration component logs them in
if request.args[0] == 'register' and len(session.next) > 0:
auth.settings.register_next = session.next
what is not clear is why this could not be set in the default/index
controller (see previous attempt).
