Hi there,

Hopefully a quick to answer question this one.

I successfully have Freeform working to send e-mails to a moblog address so that I can use it (Freeform) to post to a weblog. I currently use LiveValidation on the form so that it can’t be submitted until everything has been filled out correctly.

All of this works absolutely great but I want to send the person back to the same form after the submission has gone through. This also works but what I would like is to be able to show a message to this effect on the page. Obviously I can’t hard-code this into the form as it would just show as soon as they go to the page which would look a little silly. At the moment it all works fine and you are re-directed to the form but because this is now in effect a new submission all the fields are empty so it looks a little confusing to anyone who doesn’t know what’s going on.

If anyone has an idea of what I am babbling on about and knows of a clever way to implement this then I would be exceptionally grateful.

Best wishes,

Mark

We always just add a third segment to the return url like thankyou or something. Then we detect it in the template and show a thankyou message above the submission form.

Hi Mitchell,

I think I must have been asleep when I wrote that above. Oops. Sorry!!!

Meant to come back here when I got the chance and say how stupid I was. Pretty much after I had written it I figured it out. What a ker-plonker I am!!

Thanks for the reply though, hope everything is going well for you.

Best wishes,

Mark

No worries at all. Don’t even worry that we stayed up all night trying to figure out the answer for you. !! ha ha

Hmmm somehow that surprises me!

Thanks again Mate.

Best wishes,

Mark

Mark, please don’t fret that you didn’t figure it out. This is exactly my question, and I’m not EEexpert enough to say (as you did) “Pretty much after I had written it I figured it out. What a ker-plonker I am!!”

As it is, I’ll have to do some more figuring to get to the point of implementing what you and Mitchell so blithely discuss. I’ll get there, though.
