Trigger second event () Add Event

Hi,

i have a form with just one field, which should redirect the user to different page ...
The field contains a variable, which is passed on.
The url opens in a new browser window.

setup is like this
On Submit:
Email
Redirect Url
Redirect User

This is all working.

For better understanding this is the live link
http://www.instantmedia.de/design-muenchen

Now i want to show a thanks message on my page.
Where do i trigger the Show Thanks message?
Tried after Email and also on a second Add Event ... which isnt working.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi tullski,

If you are ReDirecting the user then a normal Thank You page will never get displayed because you are sending them off somewhere else.

There are two choices: you can use a Joomla! System Message (there's an action that will show one); or you can use a normal Thank You message and then redirect the user either on a button click or after a period of time. The System Message is probably the simplest and most reliable.

Hi Bob,

order is of course like this
On Submit:
Email
(Show Thanks Message)
Add System Message
Redirect Url
Redirect User

The message should show before redirecting ... but nothing appears ...

Hi Tullski,

Yes I understand but the ReDirect User action will still prevent the Thank You page from showing :-(

Hi Bob,

ok. But how can overcome this problem.
With a second event?

:D
Ok. But as discussed before. Thank you page wont work.
And system message also wont show ... only after reloading page.
So both ways wont work...

Hi Tullski,

Both methods will work OK if you set you form up to use them.
