Relative Redirect URL

How to use a relative URL for redirect in ChronoForms v6.

Overview

The issue occurs because the relative URL path is not correctly specified, leading to an incorrect redirect address.
Use a relative URL starting with a forward slash and include the subdirectory and event parameter, ensuring the full path from the site root is provided.

When using the redirect action, I know how to use absolute URL to make the redirect function work. This is discussed here.

However, I still cannot figure out how to use a relative URL for the redirect to use.

Is this even possible with chronoform v6?

Hi Omid,

What kind of relative url ? you can use

 {url:index.php?anything=whatever}

Best regards,
Max

That solution is not working properly.

When I enter

{url:index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=create_response}

It goes to

http://mydomain.com/screening/index.php/screening/forms/registration?chronoform=create_response

FYI:
1- My Joomla is installed in http://mydomain.com/screening
2- I have a Menu item setup that is linked to the create_response form. The menu link is

http://mydomain.com/screening/index.php/screening/forms/create-response

The menu link is working correctly. For whwatever reason, my relative URL is getting confused with the link I have in my menu, which I don't understand why and how to fix.

Hi omidhz,

You might try

{url:/index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=create_response&event=submit}

that adds a / at the start and the event at the end,

Bob,
Your code worked. However, I had to add the subdomain to the URL. So the final code that is now working for me is:

{url:/screening/index.php?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=create_response&event=submit}

Thank you for your support
