There are three main options: * Result – Displays a "result" template (such as a poll result or a confirmation page), typically located in [design_extension]/templates/content/collectedinfo/. This is the option we will choose for our membership application form. * URL – Load a specific URL. * Node – Redirect back to the original content node. For example, a user filling in a form would be redirected back to the page containing the blank form. In this case, you can configure the form template to display some confirmation text above the blank form to acknowledge the submission. My question is that :How to configure the form template to display some confirmation text above the blank form to acknowledge the submission? Please give me some advice, thanks advance! skype:hyslx27 hyslx27@gmail.com
Heath	Friday 26 June 2009 1:23:50 am I recently ran into an essentially similar situation. Normally I would suggest using view parameters as a simple way to do this in a template. But that usually only works if you can simply append before redirection this additional parameter. In this case it doesn't sounds like that is an option. In fact the option it sounds like you want isn't really provided for, which is some combination of node and result settings functionality. Which isn't that great for more folks than just yourself but is the way it is ... But in this instance because of builtin limitations (ie: this feature is not well provided for) the best I think you can do is use the setting DisplaySettings:DisplayList=Result which in itself provides for the submission confirmation feature (albeit in a rather inflexible way). If you must have submission confirmation. When I ran into this issue it turned out submission confirmation was not required so used the node setting.

This is instead (going the extra mile) is what I would do to provide both what you need with default ez settings and template overrides. I may or may not use a template include to duplicate the input form depending on the complexity of the form template. (It's really not that hard to include templates in other templates and pass variables albeit limited in what functionality can be implemented only this way) .. I hope this helps. <i>Cheers, //kracker Are you an autobot?</i> Member since: 2001.07.13 \|\| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com/
