Plugin - Thanks Message in an article

gilliancowe 20 Aug, 2011
Apologies if this seems like a stupid question, but would just like to double check I understand this properly.

I am using the plugin, so my article has the following.

To send us an enquiry please complete the form below, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

{chronoforms}Contact{/chronoforms}



If I use 'Show Thanks Message' on submit I get.

To send us an enquiry please complete the form below, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your enquiry, we will get back to you as soon as possible.



In other words the message is just added to the article content. Obviously I don't want that so I am using a redirect.

Is there a simple way that I can display the thanks message without the article text or is the redirect the way to do it?

Thanks,

Gillian

Hi Gillian,

I think that Redirect is the way to go.

CFv3 used not to return to the article, I think that was a frequently requested feature that Max has added into CFv4.

Hi Gillian,

I would use a redirect too, OR, you can disable the "relative url" setting under the "General" tab in your form's "Edit" page, this will submit the form to the absolute submit url, not to the same page it was loaded at.

Regards,
Max

Did you try ChronoMyAdmin for managing your Joomla database tables ?

Ah - I hadn't noticed that setting.
