Form result in module not in component

I made a simple contactform with chronoforms. With the module 'mod_chronocontact' I put it in the left module of my website.
Whem somebody fill and submit the form, the 'thank you'-message appears in the component.
Is there a way to put the 'thank you'-message in the module. Or when filled in, let the module dissapear/ hide the module?

Greeting,

Tijs

Hi Tijs,

unfortunately this is not possible yet, but here is a workaround, redirect the user to the same page with &finished=1 at the url, and use a php code switch at the top of the form code to show a thanks message if it reads finished=1 in the url!

Hello Max,

Thank you for the reply. The workaround doesn't do the job for me. Because the module is there again if someone views another page.

There are 2 options I was thinking about:

1: In the template make a connection with the database, check if the persons IP adress is added to the chrone-database, and if so then do not show the module.
Disadventage: If the IP adress is from a school or something, only one person from the school can use the module.

2: When someone fill in the form and send it make a setcookie in PHP. And in the template make a if-statement. Something like:
if($_COOKIE = "completedform"): //no module; else: //show module left; endif;

What do you think of these options?

I forgot another option:

The use of Sessions, the same as option 2 but no need for Coockies anymore.

So I was thinking of the following:
In Chronoforms -> formcode in On Submit code - before sending email:
I put something like this:

<?php
$currentSession = JSession::getInstance('none',array());
$currentSession->set("filled","yes");
$stores = $currentSession->getStores();
?>

I don't know if this is the way to save a Session in Joomla.

Then in te Template I will check if the Session is set:

if($this->countModules('left')) && isset($_SESSION['filled']) && $_SESSION['filled'] == 'yes'):
//no module
else:
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="left" style="xhtml" />
endif;

I think it should be something like this, but I need someone who can help me a little?

With kind regards,

Tijs

Hi Tijs,

The session solution is better for sure, here are my thoughts:

$session =& JFactory::getSession();
if(!$session->get('formsubmitted', '0')){
//show module
}else{
//dont show it
}

and in the onSubmit box of the form:

$session =& JFactory::getSession();
$session->set('formsubmitted', '1');

cheers
Max

Thank you very very much!!!

It works like a charm!

Hi, I'm interested in this same issue, however I would like to show the thank you message rather than hide the module. Would you mind sharing what the PHP code for the finished=1 switch would be that I need to add at the top of the form code?

Thanks!
