Hi !
I created a form that is displayed on top of the pages site wide. It shows two buttons to switch between french and english. The site owners want very specific parts to be translated and different layouts depending on the selected language. What my form does is simply store the selected language in a session variable. Well, the form works like a charm, the only remaining problem is that I would like to redirect to the currently viewed page after submit (so the user just change the language and the current page gets reloaded in the selected language theme). If I leave redirect URL blank, I get a blank content, the same if I try to put a #. I tried the following in form code :

<?php
$currenturl = JURI::current();
$form->data['redirect_url'] = $currenturl;
?>

hopping that would override the form URLs setting but in vain.
Any idea ?

Hello Canard,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How can I get information about the current page?
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Sorry Calculus but tit is not the answer I was expecting😉

Hi Canard,

I don't' think that CFv45 let you set a variable redirect URL like that (You could do it in CFv4). Please try using the Joomla! redirection code in a Custom Code action instead

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect(JURI::current());
?>

or, if that doesn't work this variant might

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$url = JURI::current();
$app->redirect($url->toString());
?>

Thank you Bob, I tried what you suggested, but it didn't work, the browser's message explains there are too many redirections, error code (in Chrome) : ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.

If helpful, here's what var_dump($app) gives me :

object(jsite)(7) { ["_errors"]=> array(0) { } ["_clientId"]=> int(0) ["_messageQueue"]=> array(0) { } ["_name"]=> string(4) "site" ["scope"]=> string(17) "mod_chronocontact" ["requestTime"]=> string(16) "2014-10-30 12:05" ["setTemplate"]=> string(19) "Cybelle_planete_new" } 

and var_dump($url) :

string(55) "http://www.cybelle-planete.org/ecovolontariat/index.php" 

Edit : I have V3.1 and can't find what you call a custom code action, so I tried in form code itself

<?php

if(isset($_POST[lang]))
{
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$url=JURI::current();
$app->redirect($url);
}

?>

Hi Canard,

Please try your code in the "on submit after email" code box!

Hi Max, I did try with no luck.

here's my form's code

<form id="ChronoContact_langue" action="index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname=langue" method="post" name="ChronoContact_langue">
<table class="langTable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>

<BUTTON class="langButton" name="lang" value="fr" type="submit" title="Français">
    <IMG src="templates/Cybelle_planete_new/images/fr.png" alt="fr"></BUTTON>
</td>
<td>

<BUTTON class="langButton" name="lang" value="uk" type="submit" title="English">
    <IMG src="templates/Cybelle_planete_new/images/uk.png" alt="uk"></BUTTON>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

on submit code (after sending email)

<?php
/*store language in session variable*/
$_SESSION[language]=$_POST[lang];

/*redirect to current page*/
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$url=JURI::current();
$app->redirect($url);

?>

In the form URLs tab no values are set
Am I trying to do something weird ? I mean as my form is on every page, I have to allow users to switch language without being always redirected to front.
Thanks again for the nice support !
Regards
David.

Hi David,

You have J1.5 and I'm not sure if JURI or JFactory work in this version, please try to debug the $url variable using print_r

You may also try to find a language plugin/module which does what you need ?
