Passing data to 'On Confirm' in Confirmation Page

Hi Bob,

Once again I stopped myself creating new code when I caught up with the Confirmation Page.

All fine except that I can't work out how to pick up the $forms->data that I use in 'On Show' in 'On Confirm'. The data is there in 'On Show' - I use it to confirm all is well. But I want to use that same data to send an invoice to members via your Email [GH] plug-in once a member confirms that it is OK. Using dump or debug I can see the data in 'On Show' but not in 'On Confirm'. I have attached a shot to explain.

Should I be able to do that? If not, is there some way that I can save the values to some 'global' level and pick them up from there? Worst case I can write a record to a db table in 'On show' and read it back again in 'On Confirm'. But that seems a bit heavy handed!

Regards

Nick

Hi Nick,

I've used the 'Data to Session' and 'Session to Data' actions for this. Seems to work OK.

Hi Bob,

Just the cotton pickin' job. Looks like that fixes my problems. Many thanks.

Nope! I can't quite get this to work as I want.

I have a form 'RenewMember' that includes this

The Debugger on that form shows me that the data that I want is in place before I call the 'RenewMemberConfirm' form 'On Show'.

Then I call Redirect User to a form 'RenewMemberConfirm' that includes this

But the debugger at the start of that form doesn't include the data I saved in 'RenewForm'.

Is that something that I have to do manually - with a Custom Code block that is a copy of the 'RenewMemberConfirm' code?

Or have I plain missed something here? Can I pass data from one form to another via Redirect User?

Regards

Nick

Hi Nick,

You need to set a Session Key in the two actions - the same in both - if you want to pass data between forms.

Thanks Bob. That sounds like the missing piece.
