I'm pretty sure that messages are displayed after a redirect in CCV6, for example in an event:

{success:Saved!}
{redirect:index}

At the moment I don't remember one of my projects in CFv6 that uses the message and redirect actions to get the same result but I'm sure there's one.

Now in a new project in Joomla 3.9.5 and CF v6.1.2 if I use a message followed by a redirect, no message is displayed.

I tried to accomplish that by using enqueueMessage in a php action followed by a redirect action to no avail.

I had to resort to an all php code action to get a joomla message displayed after the redirect:

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$app->enqueueMessage('Not saved', 'error');
$app->redirect('index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&cont=manager&chronoform=myform&event=myevent');

Hi maxx,

Generally to show a message after a Redirect you need to use a System Message. After the redirect ChronoForms has lost control and so can't display a CF message.

Generally to show a message after a Redirect you need to use a System Message. After the redirect ChronoForms has lost control and so can't display a CF message.

But why does it work in CC? And why doesn't it in CF since the code seems to be the same?

In message.message_output.php:

\GApp::session()->flash($type, $content);

In parser.php:

\GApp::session()->flash($type, $this->lang($name));

In one of the demo of CC, Articles list with advanced features, there's a publish_selected event:

{fn:publish_articles_group}
{success:articles publsihed}
{redirect:index}

I used a similar code many times and it works. I'm sure I can find one of my CFV6 apps that uses the CFv6 actions instead and it works too.
