Chillidog FormsPlus Question

I have a question for Chillidog support, but unfortunately I was redirected to these people at Exacthosting, who of course know nothing about it.

Does anyone know if @barchard can be contacted in any way?

Here’s my question:
Is there a way to include a piece of information – in my case, the sender’s email address – in the success message, or even better, on a redirect page? Just as I can include an element in a template.
I’ve included the [email] element in the success message, but the email address isn’t being displayed.

Hi @binarydog

I’ll check into my contact form on my site. Thanks for letting me know.

To answer your questions, you give each Input a Name. Then you use that Name in the templates. If you give the Input a name of “userEmail” then you’d refer to it as [userEmail] If they don’t match it won’t get replaced. Please check and confirm the names first

this won’t work on a redirected page because the destination page without you writing some custom code as the destination page would need to understand the data passed to it.

Thanks

Hi @barchard

Thank you for your reply.

I’m well aware that the names in the input and in the template must match. I use this in many forms and it works fine.

So, if I understand correctly, it doesn’t work on a redirected page?
But is there any way I can include a field value in the success message in FormsPlus?

Hi,

It won’t work on a redirected page because the redirected page would need custom code to know how to render something like this.

I checked, it does not work in a Success/Failure message. It should, however, work in a Submission Confirmation Step. Would that work for your application?

Hi

I don’t understand the difference between a success/failure message and a submission confirmation step. Where would the field content – in this case, the sender’s email address – be displayed?
