Form action: How it works ?

Hello

If I want to have a form action as a URL like : action="http://acbo.com/local/hart/index.php". How can I set it in Chronoform V4.

Please help

Thanks

Ron

Hello Ronn,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How to post information from a Chronoform to ZoHo
How do I show a form in a module?
How do I show a form in an article?
How can I show a form in a lightbox?
How can I show a form on my site?
How can I add a mask to format a form input?
How do I show a 'loading' message when the form submits?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Thanks calculus00

I am very happy to receive your reply. But I have tried it before coming here, I have no success.

Hi Ron,

Just click the form's name under the forms manager and paste your url under the "action url" field.

But that would completely disable any actions under the "on submit" event, no messages or emails..etc

Thanks for the reply Max.But this option will not work for me as I need to have other functions working as well.

Ron

Then you can use the CURL action to submit the form data behind the scenes to the url you need ?

Sorry Max, But I am using the Chronoform V5 and I do not find CURL. I just need to use along with all standard action an additional action : action="http://acbo.com/local/hart/index.php"

Please help

Thanks

Hi Max,

Can I have something like this in a custom code after email

< ?php
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$custom_tag = '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://acbo.com/local/hart/index.phpi" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" id="subscription_form" >';
$doc->addCustomTag($custom_tag);
?>

I tried it but it does not seem to work.

Please help

Thanks

Hi Ronn,

The CURL action is under the "Utilities" section in v5 setup, the code you are trying to use will just do a page redirect, it will not pass any of the form data to that url, and you could simply use the redirect action for this task!

Hi Max,

How can I call the perl file in a php script: Maybe some example like this.

< ?php exec("/usr/bin/perl /home/user/public_html/toto/process.pl $username $password",$output); ?>

This does not work

Thanks
Ron
