HEADER

Hey all,
I was just transferring some custom javascript over to chronoforms when I found I needed a dynamic redirect field instead of the 'static' one provided on the control panel.

So I did a minor hack to /components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php that I thought I'd share.

In my case, I wanted a dynamic redirect field (i.e. "How do you want to pay? <select name="payment_type" onchange="resetRedirect(this.form)" ><option value="Paypal">Paypal</option><option selected value="check">check</option>" and depending on the answer, the redirect is to the check URL or the paypal URL).

Solution
to FormHTM:
I added a hidden field called redirect

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://mysite.com/thankyou_check.html">

(where http://mysite.com/thankyou_check.html is now the default to match the selected option value above.

to /components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php:
I changed the following section:

Code: Select all

       /**
        * Redirect the page if requested
        */
       if ( !empty($rows[0]->redirecturl) ) {
           mosRedirect($rows[0]->redirecturl);
       }


to read:

Code: Select all

       /**
        * Redirect the page if requested
        */
       if ( !empty($fields['redirect']) ) {
           mosRedirect($fields['redirect']);
       } else {
         if ( !empty($rows[0]->redirecturl) ) {
           mosRedirect($rows[0]->redirecturl);
         }
       }


to FormJavaScript:
I added something like

Code: Select all

function resetRedirect {
   var paypalUrl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=info%40mysite.com&item_name=MyItemName&amount=' 100'&currency_code=USD&return=http://mysite.com/thankyou_paypal.htm;

   if (theForm.payment_type.value == "Paypal"«») {
      theForm.redirect.value = paypalUrl;
   } else {
      theForm.redirect.value = "http://mysite.com/thankyou_check.htm";
   }
   
}


I figure you can do similar hacks to other Chrono fields. Hope this helps some similar situations out there.

Hi Spaceman,

Thanks very much for sharing your hack here with everybody, for those who can't hack the file and prefer to do the same function without the hack, just follow all spaceman steps but instead of hacking the core chronoforms file do this :

At the "on Submit Before email" field, please write this code :

Code: Select all

<?php
$rows[0]->redirecturl = $_POST['redirect'];

?>


this will override the static value in the CPanel of Chronoforms for the redirectURL ;)

Cheers
