With this code in the template, how do I use the mv-successpage variable to
return to the members_only page that redirected to login?

[if scratch members_only]
    [set members_only][/set]
    [if !session logged_in]
    [set mv_successpage]@@MV_PAGE@@[/set]
    [bounce page=login]
    [/if]
[/if]

This code says if members only is set to yes and the visitor is logged in,
display the page. Otherwise, redirect the visitor to the login page.
