I am using Chronoforms for Joomla 1.5 and the Form Wizard. I have created an After Form Submission page with "thank you for your submission" text. I'd like to link a word in that text back to the home page of my site. I highlight the desired text, paste the URL of my site in the URL box, insert and save. But then when I fill out the form on the front end of my site, submit, and get re-directed to the After Form Submission page, the desired text is not hyperlinked. Any ideas what is causing this glitch?

Hi imfritzy,

The ReDirect URL box redirect the user to that URL - it has nothing to do with links in the Thank YOu page text. If you want to put a link in the text use the 'insert/edit link' icon in the editor toolbar.

Thanks for the prompt response. I understand what you are saying, and I see how I confused you. I'm not using the "Redirect URL" box. I'm using the "After Submit Text" box. I type in text. I highlight the word to be hyperlinked (in my case, the word "here"). Then I click on the chain-link icon. I type in my site's home page address in the "Link URL" pop-up, click insert, then save the form. But when I complete the form on the front-end of my site, and I get successfully redirected to the After Submit page, the word that I "hyperlinked" (that is, "here") is not actually linked. (You can see it at http://www.alcottdevsite.net/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=Gmail_dbase2 The word "here" at the end of the sentence on that page is supposed to be hyperlinked.)

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi imfritzy,

Well you have a link there <a>here</a> but it has no url inside it.

You can edit the code by hand in the Form Manager | Form Code tab.

Thanks. I'll try that. But I've now noticed that I have the same problem within any Joomla article -- if I try to paste in an external link (with the full URL), the link won't work. Joomla editor seems to strip it out. I'll need to post on a Joomla forum to get the solution.

Hi imfritzy,

You have a hyperlink in the page <a>here</a> but it has no URL in it.

I just ran a test on a simple form creating a link using the link icon in the rich text editor and it works OK for me.
