Redirect not working as expected

[attachment=1]redirected page.JPG[/attachment][attachment=0]first page-permission.JPG[/attachment]I've separated my topics.

I am rebuilding my forms for the new CF5 and Joomla 3.3.3 versions. They were working fine in CF4 and Joomla 2.5.9.

Subject 1: I have one form which is very simple. Check the box if you agree with the statement, then click submit. If the box is checked the user is redirected to a new page. However, that page will not display with the menus that are standard on the site. Is it because that page is not attached to a menu? If so, what do I need to do to get the menus to display?

You said you didn't understand the question. So I've attached to images. The first is the page with the form on it. It has navigation menus across the top and on the left. The redirected page has no navigation.

By the way, this also happens with the "Display Message" action. The message appears on a page with no navigation.

Hi kkurtz,

Now I understand, thank you. It looks as though your menu display is attached to certain menu items only and not to all pages.

You can attach the form to a hidden menu - one that exists in the menu component but isn't shown in a module anywhere. Then include that menu in the settings for the module you are using to display the main menu.

Thanks. I finally got that to work with your help.
