Hi All,

Skimmed the forum, but did not see this answered.

I am wanting to save the data from my form before I POST it to another site.

For some reason (maybe by design), when I enter a Submit URL, the form no longer emails or stores data to the database. When I remove the Submit URL, I can email and store to the database.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Hi Stephanie,

The OnSubmit URL sends the form results directly to that URL; ChronoForms never sees it and therefore cannot send emails or save the data.

You can probably POST the data to another site using the cURL Plug-in (there are a few limitations); or you can GET it using the ReDirect plug-in.

Hi Bob!

I have done as you suggested and utilized the CURL plug-in.

It seems to have solved most of the issue, but I still have one problem...

When I complete the form and click submit, the database gets updated, the email gets sent, but I am not redirected to the entered URL (this is the URL that comes up - http://malloryrental.net/index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=webpay&Itemid=68, the redirect URL should be - https://webservices.primerchants.com/billing/TransactionCentral/EnterTransaction.asp).

I am guessing that I am missing something along the way, as when I set the CURL plug-in to debug mode, I get the following:

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I got your book... thanks - it has helped a lot

Hi sjhapke,

If you need the user to be transferred there then the cURL Plug-in won't do it as far as I know. It will post the data but not transfer the user.

If you want to transfer he user and the data and the site will accept a GET transaction then you can use the ReDirect plug-in in the same way.

If you need to transfer the user and POST the data then I think that is possible with a dummy form that autosubmits. There was a thread about that a few weeks ago. Not something that I've had to do.
