howto: preview filled-in information on a custom page

xanuex 17 Mar, 2009
Hi,

I couldn't find id in the faq's or this forum so therefore my question;

Process:
step1: client fills in my form
step2: form redirects to another page which gives a preview of the information just given by the client
step3: client can print the information or save it as a PDF file

additional (even better):
step3: a PDF file (with a filled-in contract) will be sent to the client (in this case he/she only needs to sign it and send it back)


Problem:
if I do not give a redirect URL and I put my text in the "After Submit Text" everything works, the only problem is that I cannot properly design the outcome and I cannot create a PDF of the page (with the standard Joomla function that is build in)

If I do give a redirect URL and I'll paste the {tags} in a "normal" page it won't be recognized so it isn't functioning.

Help:
Can anyone explain me how to make the {tags} of CF work in my redirect page (so I can make a PDF) or even more helpful... how I can send a PDF that is already filled in (with his/her information) directly by mail to the client.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Marcel,

As far as I know no-one has solved this problem yet.

You can layout the page however you want on the ChronoForms thank you page - and I think that some has recently posted how to add a print button to that, but not yet a pdf button.

Hope to give you a solution soon😛
