Can't get ridirect to send to "thanks" page

rowby 22 Jun, 2013
Hello,

After a form is submitted, I can't get the redirect to work. The thank you email goes out successfully -- but no redirect to the thank you page. I've tried sending it to a page on the site and, when that didn't work, I tried sending it to an external url -- but it just stays on the main form as you can see if you test it.

Here's the temporary development site page (shortened url): http://goo.gl/lCr4w.

Joomla! Version Joomla! 3.1.1 Stable [ Ember ] 26-April-2013 14:00 GMT

Chronforms component: 4.0 25.April.2013
Chronoform plugin: Plugin V4 RC3.5.3

I'm using the plugin in an article. Built the form with the Wizard. You can test the form -- the site is not live.

Attached is a screen capture of the Events tab so you can see how I configured the redirect URL.

I dragged the debugger to the form, and here is a snippet of the results

        Redirect URL: http://www.rowbycomedies.com


Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi rowby,

There are a couple of possibilities here, one is that the ReDirect URL action by itself doesn't do anything except set the URL. You need the ReDirect User action to actually *do* the redirection. In fact if it's a constant URL you only need the ReDirect User action.
The second is that the Debugger blocks the redirection, if it didn't then you wouldn't see the debug output. It should show a clickable link to complete the redirection though.

Thanks!

Using Redirect User with the seo or non sef url worked. (as well as removing debug).

Specifically /thank-you
or
/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14

...both worked.
