I was to have the facility of customizing my confirmation massage/thanks message after form is submitted. I do not want to use the built-in message as it is not suitable for me. Can I use the php action ? If I can, would I be guided how ?

How ? Even if I load it in a hidden state it shows in the front end..

my answer was about displaying HTML code on the page, what is the issue with hidden ?

I do not understand your reply. This thread is about display of a thank you message after a form is submitted.
You said use an html view. I said How ??

2 ways to display a thanks message:
​
1- Confirmation message behavior in the form settings!
2- for more custom solution, use the HTML view in your page!

you should drag the HTML view to the last page in the form, not the first page!

Thanks, Max
I got it... One more thing..
If I have a form with say 5 pages. But I use only the first page in the View area. Can I use the Action area of all the rest 4 pages to do actions as per pages? In this way I can have a delay before the action goes to the next page. Something like this.. I have a PHP action as below.
​

<img src="images/loading.gif"><br><br>
  <h1 class="center">Processing...Sent first question..<br>sending another in 60 seconds..<br> Please wait...</a></h1>
</center>

<p>
  <?php header('Refresh: 59;url=index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&cont=manager&chronoform=send_quest&gpage=second_page'); ?>
</p>

I tried it but it does not work.. It just does not cross the third page but goes into a loop and keeps sending the same question email....
​
Please help as to where I may be going wrong?
​
Thanks

You have a link to the second_page in your code, so it will open the second_page but not the 3rd, additionally the "Redirect" action can redirect with a delay, why not use it ?

Thanks for the reply Max.

I tried the redirect function available It does not work. So I tried these code:
​

<p>  <?php header('Refresh: 59;url=index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&cont=manager&chronoform=send_quest&gpage=second_page'); ?></p>

<p>  <?php header('Refresh: 59;url=index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&cont=manager&chronoform=send_quest&gpage=third_page'); ?></p>

<p>  <?php header('Refresh: 59;url=index.php?option=com_chronoforms7&cont=manager&chronoform=send_quest&gpage=fourth_page'); ?></p>

​
Every link is different not only to second page.

Thanks

The Redirect action works fine here, if it does not work for you then please upload a simple test form with the Redirect action not working!

Thank you for this information!
I'd like to use (2). is there a possibility to send formdata (sending admin email, security check and uploading files) AND processing to the next page (custom html with thank you information) with one button click?

Yes, you can add any HTML and thank you info to the form "end_page" and that will be displayed after the form!

Thanks Max, and put the email action to the "end_page"!
it is working!

the email action is needed if you need a custom email beside the 2 available under the form settings, most users do not need that in a basic contact form
