How to code Redirect Action in CF v6

om

I want to use the redirect action after user log in. I added the redirect action to Success section of Joomla Login. User is logging in correctly, but the redirect is not working.

I want my users to be redirected to
/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=112

My user are being redirected to
http://localhost/joomla/index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=user-registration&%2Findex_php%3Foption=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=112

I tried the URL parameters without the initial /, but I got the same problem.
When I change the redirect URL to {url:/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=112}, it reloads the form and does not redirect to the article.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hi omidhz,

I suggest that you try putting the full url in the Redirect URL box e.g.
http://localhost/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=112

Or I think that you could put just the first part there: http://localhost/joomla/index.php and add the parameters is the box below

option=com_content
view=article
id=6
Itemid=112

Hi,

Just a quick note here, in v6 the parameters should have : instead of = as below:


option:com_content
view:article
id:6
Itemid:112

Hi,

Actually I was mistaken, the redirect parameters should have "=", so the format posted by Bob is the correct one, the = sign is only used in the redirect parameters, the options fields in dropdown/checkboxes and in the locales.

Quick clarification question: What would/could go in the Event box?

Hi Randy,

The event name you want to redirect to, you may ignore that and include the event and its name in the parameters box.
