How to config the form template to display confirmation text

Friday 26 June 2009 12:45:55 am

In the article "How to create ez publish forms", the URL is :

http://ez.no/developer/articles/how_to_create_ez_publish_forms/form_configuration_settings

the paragraph as follow:

[DisplaySettings] block

The DisplayList setting specifies the page that should be loaded after the form is submitted. 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!

You could also in addition to using the Result setting,
make massive changes to the template used with the
result setting (as described above) to simply display
the -same- form with a more brief summery of the collected information.

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.
