Hello,

I am using the CF V4 (latest)on my yOOtheme on Joomla! 2.5 everything seems to work okay except that the redirection on this code after email is not working.

 <php   
    $doc = JFactory::getDocument();
    $doc->setMetaData("refresh", "10;url=http://mysite.com", true, true);
    ?>
    <h4>Hello <?php echo $form->data['hello'].' '.$form->data['fullname']; ?></h4>
    <h4>Thank you for contacting the us.</h4><h4>Best wishes</h4><h4>My company.</h4>

Is there an issue in 2.5 ? Where could I be making an error ?

Please help
Thanks
Ron

Hi Ron,

I think that Joomla! removed setMetaTag. I used this code recently and it seems OK

<?php 
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$custom_tag = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="8;url=some_url" >'; 
$doc->addCustomTag($custom_tag); 
?>

Thanks Bob..

It works..😀.

Is it possible to show the "Thank you" message for ten seconds and then run a redirection code automatically to forward to a different location as per the choice made by the user.
Example of redirect code:

    $mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication();
    $country = JRequest::getString('country', '', 'post');

    switch($country)
    {

    case 'Afghanistan':
    $url = 'form1';
    break;

   case 'Akrotiri':
    $url = 'form2';
    break;
	
   case 'Albania':
    $url = 'form3';
    break;
	
   case 'Algeria':
    $url = 'form1';
    break;
    }

    $url = '../test/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=' . $url;
    $mainframe->redirect($url);

Thanks for the help

Hi ron,

You can't delay a $mainframe->redirect; but you can merge to two code snippets to set the value of the url in the custom tag.

Thanks for the reply Bob.

How to merge the two codes ? And how will that help? I am confused.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi Ron,

<?php
$country = JRequest::getString( 'country', '', 'post' );
switch ( $country ) {
  case 'Afghanistan':
    $url = 'form1';
    break;

  case 'Akrotiri':
    $url = 'form2';
    break;

  case 'Albania':
    $url = 'form3';
    break;

  case 'Algeria':
    $url = 'form1';
    break;
}
$url = JURI::base().'/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform='.$url;
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$custom_tag = "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='8;url={$url}'>";
$doc->addCustomTag( $custom_tag );
?>

It succeeded. This is exactly what I needed.

Thank you very much. GOD Bless you.
