Last visited page parameter not populated

[attachment=2]Schermata 2014-09-08 alle 15.47.25.png[/attachment]Hi everybody,
i'm working on a website i didn't build, and i'm trying to make forms work.
I don't know why, but some time ago we have a form that keeps the $page_name parameter and set it on the db along with the form data, now it doesn't work.

In the form there is a hidden field, you can see the attachment: the field_id is pagina_prov, without a default value

In the events tab, before the db_save, there is a custom code:

<?php
$form->data['pagina_prov'] = $page_name;
?>

And this is the db_save:

Any hint?
Thanks,

Hi Lucio,

But where is the "$page_name" variable set ?

How can I store the complete URL in a hidden field?

Hi guillome,

Please see this FAQ

Bob

Thanks Bob. How can I get only the URL, not the page title or article title?

Hi Guillome,

Just use the first example in the FAQ which gets the URL and ignore the rest.

Bob

Thanks, it works partly, it only stored the url until index.php but my complete url is:
index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=chrono_test
can I store the info after "?" as well?

thanks

You may also try this code:

<?php echo \GCore\Libs\Url::current(); ?>

Let us know if it works ?

this time nothing was stored in the url field, not even the index.php.

I solved it. This is the solution:
<input type='hidden' name='page_url' id='page_url' value='<?php echo JURI::getInstance()->toString(); ?>' />

Hi Guillome.

Well done, thank you - I have updated the FAQ to use that code.

Bob

Do you know how to get the right 5 characters of that url and store only that?

use the PHP substr function:

substr(JURI::getInstance()->toString(), -5, 5);

thanks, awesome

and do you know how to get the IP of the visitor?

These are all PHP questions, please search Google or our forums and you should find quick answers!

Max

P.S: the IP of the visitor can be automatically included in the email, you can enable this in the Email settings!
