I’ve added a basic email contact form to a few of my EE templates. They work fine and I receive the email just as expected.

However, once the form is successfully submitted, the page redirects to the page I was on *BEFORE* I visited the contact form page.
So, if A is the form page…
I submit the form, then I’m redirected to page B.
If I then visit page C and come back to page A, I’m redirected to page C again after form submittal.

This happens whether I include an explicit redirect parameter or not. Doesn’t matter. Same behavior.

Anyone have thoughts?

Ok, I’ve looked into this further and discovered that if I write the return parameter as return=”{site_url}index.php/foo/bar” which includes the “index.php” segment, the redirection will go where I want after submittal.

If I use…

return="{site_url}foo/bar"

... it doesn’t redirect properly

FuturShoc,

We do not support the removal of index.php via a htaccess rewrite. Your return works with index.php in place so you must investigate your rewrite further if it is breaking default functionality.You may find more info in this Wiki article

Ok, thanks, John.
I wasn’t intentionally doing one thing or another on the rewrite front, but I’ll look into that.
Meanwhile, I have a method that works with redirection, so that helps in the near term.

Very glad to hear that. Please post again as needed.
