Hi there

We are using freeform to submit job adverts from a 3rd party feed to our site. The feed system does not seem to like the redirect to a success page.

Is there any way to print a success message on the form page on submission (perhaps using php) rather than redirecting to a URL?

Many thanks

Mike,

How is the feed set up? Are you referring to an RSS feed, etc? I’m not quite sure I understand the process here… I’m not sure how Freeform fits in the picture here…

Thank you

Hi Pie Man

Sorry, bit scarce on the detail with my question - hope this helps;

It’s a series of value pairs posted via http to the form page here.

entries are displayed here

everything is working great, however the feed providers would like an acknowledgment that the job has posted successfully. The redirect method using the freeform tag is fine for manual submissions, but their system is having problems going to the redirect page to view the success message.

I wondered if it’s possible to return a php echo message or similar within the page upon a successful submission of the form - rather than a redirect to url?

Many thanks

Mike

Ok, starting to make sense now

So they’re using some sort of application or web application to submit to your website’s Freeform Form?

Yes, thats’s how it is working.

I was wondering if we can change the redirect code on successful submission to print a confirmation message to the form page.

I see....

Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with PHP, so I will not be able to help you in this manner…

Hi Pie Man

I’m sorry, I’m not asking you to provide a ready made solution, I’m asking if it’s possible for us to alter the code that validates the form and then gives the redirect url on success

Would you be able to point me to where the validation code and redirect code is?

Many thanks

Mike

I’ll see if I can get Mitchell here to point you in the right direction

That would be great

Many many thanks

Mike

Fatherjack,

I think you want to hack the Freeform module so that it submits the form via AJAX then loads the response back into a div on the page. We would offer to help with the customization, but the schedule is full right now.

Thanks Mitchell

It’s a good idea, we will give that method a go.

Hello

I’m trying to find how to implement the extension; freeform_module_insert_end
(This extension hook is called immediately before users are redirected upon a successful form submission.)

Basically we are trying to use this to print a success message to the form page before redirection.

Can you point me at which files I need to edit?

Many thanks

Mike

I’ve found the answer in this thread

and it is obvious - doh!

Oh that method actually worked?
