I have a Safecracker form that is working as expected for the most part. The one thing I can’t figure out is how I can return the user to a thank you page, which links them back to the URL they completed the form from.

Here is a little piece of the code used to begin the safecracker form in case it’s needed.

{exp:safecracker
 channel="contact_requests"
 return="/thank-you"
 url-title="{!-- Leave Empty to add a new entry --}"
 entry_id="{!-- Leave Empty to add a new entry --}"
 include_jquery="no"
 dynamic_title="Quote Request from [first_name] [last_name] on {current_time format='%F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s'}"
 logged_out_member_id="X"
 preserve_checkboxes=“yes”
 error_handling="inline"
}

BTW, I’m currently saving the “Full URL” to the page used to submit the form to the Channel in a custom field called {page_accessed}. This information is stored in a hidden input like so,

<input type=“hidden” name=“page_accessed” value=”{exp:current_url:full_url}” />

It would be nice if I could store this data to the custom field without using a “hidden” input because anyone could edit/insert their own value with a tool like Firebug. How can this be done?

Hey JPDesignDev,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

In the return statement. What is return=”/thank-you” pointing to? If this is a template in the main group then you will need to use return=“thank-you” or if it’s in another template group then use return=“group/thank-you”.

I am not sure how to accomplish your second question. I can move this thread to Development and Programming if you would like.

Cheers,

Sorry, it’s actually like this in the template already

return=“thank-you”

Referencing the correct thank-you template is not the issue though. I would like to know how I can pass the {exp:current_url:full_url} (the link the form was submitted from) data to the thank-you page, so I can ask users if they would like to go back to the page which they access the form, or go elsewhere if they like.

Hey JPDesignDev,

You could just use

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

.

I am not sure how you would use {exp:current_url:full_url} in this way.

Cheers,
