How to report form Origin in submission?

Hi Bob

I'm using the same form on about 90 different pages on my site, but I will need to know from which page the form was sent.

Is there a way to add a hidden field that submits the URL, or Page Title, with the form info when the form is sent?

Kind regards
Matt

Hi Matt,

Please see this FAQ

Thanks Bob - I did look in the FAQ's, I promise! Must have missed it...

Hi Bob

Well I've tried evetyhing on that page and nothing actually gets through... I get the Form Sublission by email, and I get the field saying Custom Code: but there's nothing in the Table Cell next to it. I have tried all of the code in that FAQ seperately and altogether, I have tried PURE code on and off, I have tried wrapping it in various tags... and nothing seems to work - always I just get an empty table cell.

Any thoughts?

Hi Matt,

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab in CFv4 or the Setup tab in CFv5.

Hi Bob

OK I don;t know if you wanted all of the debug info or just the bit we're looking at, so here is just the bit we're looking at. Note that I have used the code examples you gave in your FAQ page, and have pasted the results by the number of your example of the FAQ page at http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/58-cfv4/cfv4-elements-and-html/2631-how-can-i-get-information-about-the-current-page.html:

1:
[page_url] => http://www.my-domain.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=Request-a-Quote-Holidays

2:
[page_title] => [this showed my SITE title]

3:
[page_url] => http://www.my-domain.com/index.php

4:
[page_url] =>
(i.e. nothing)

Now, none of those results get sent in the Email body. That cell is always empty. Also, in the Debug Info pane, the cell is empty too:
i.e.
<tr><td>Page Title</td><td></td></tr>

Please note, that actually, even if we can see results in the Data Array pane, they aren't actually the results I want anyway - The URL is wrong, presumably as we aren't using Relative URL's, and the site title is showing where I hoped it'd be the url or article title).

Any thoughts?

Hi Bob

Quick update... Using this code (a very slight change to your own):

<?php
$jdoc = \JFactory::getDocument();
?>
<input type='hidden' name='page_title' id='page_title' value='<?php echo $jdoc->gettitle(); ?>' />

(lower-case 't' in the getTitle command)

...I was able to get the actual Article title into the Data Array. Still doesn't make it through to my email though😟

Cheers
Matt

In case I've muddied the waters with my droning on, this is where I'm at after using the Custom Code in my post above:

Hi Matt,

Please try adding {page_title} to the email template.

Bob

Boom. That was it. Thanks.

For anyone else reading this with this issue:

Go to the Setup Tab > Email Pane > Edit. Then scroll down to the Template Generation selector, select Custom, and edit the code. Find where you have the bit in the code where it says {custom} and change that to whatever your custom field is called - in my case it was Page Title, so put {page_title}.

That fixed it, thanks Bob.
