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.
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.
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?
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?
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?
