Redirect + success message

dtws2008 02 Dec, 2015

Hello,
I need to redirect on successful submit and display a success message at the targeted page. I can't find a way to do this.
I can redirect, I can display a message but I can't display a message at the targeted page.
Any idea?

Hello dtws2008,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I show a Thanks Message then redirect the user?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi dtws2008,

You can use the Joomla! methods to display a message on the new page. Instead of the ReDirect action add a Custom Code action with code like this

<?php
$app = \JFactory::getApplication();
$app->enqueueMessage('Some message here');
$app->redirect('/index.php?. . .);
?>

Thanks bob!
two problems:
1. I have to insert the full url (http://.......), instead the relative one.
2. It is a system message. I need to display a formatted message at a template location.

Fixed problem 1 ($url=JURI::root())
Any idea for problem 2?

Hi dtws2008,

There isn't any simple way for ChronoForms to control the content on another page and you probably don't want to include the message in a URL.

One solution might be to save the message to the User session in the form - then add a little ChronoForm (or some custom PHP) in the template location that checks the session for a message and displays it if one is found.
