Best way to add user URL of page title to the e-mail send?

jj135 18 Sep, 2017

What would be the best way to add the URL and/or page title the user is on when the form is filled out and how do I get this value in the e-mail that is being send?

I read something about {url:_self}?
And also {page:title}?

Could I just use that in the e-mail body to show the URL? Or do I need to create a hidden field and use these tags for the value of the hidden field?

I also read:
https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/58-cfv4/cfv4-elements-and-html/2631-how-can-i-get-information-about-the-current-page

But I am not sure how to implement this in CF6... Or is there a better / faster /easier way?

After some testing and to answer my own question:

You can use {url:_self} to get the current page URL.
You can use {page:title} to get the current page URL.

These tags can be used as the value for a (hidden) field in the form.

But they can also be used in the body of the e-mail. No need to add them to the form first if you don't need those values in the form.

Kind regards,
Jip
