Hi Max,

    Could you explain about 3 Actions: Abort, Output Buffer and Call Action/View?

What are they doing? and How to set them up? 

Best regards,

Kittisak

Hi Kittisak

Abort: Stop further processing, any coming actions/views will not be processed

Output buffer: All output inside the will be collected and returned as a variable: {var:output_buffer_name}

Call Action/View: this will run any action or view from any page in the form, so you can be in page 1 but call a PHP action stored in page 5 for example

Hi, Max

  Thank you for your reply. For Output buffer: it will collect all out put you mean just PHP output only or another view/action also. 

If it contain more than one output, how to call them?

All output, if you had HTML and PHP echo or whatever, it will all be collected and saved in the {var:output_buffer_name}

this is useful if you need to get views or actions output in the Email or PDF for example
