Redirect URL After Edit Submission

Hi..
Visforms Version 5.5.1,
Subscription Version 5.5.1,
Joomla version is 5.3.3
PHP version = 8.2.0

// Question//

Please how can i get or set a URL redirect when i edit a submitted form in front end, ir should redirect to a page (I want).
Currently it only has the redirect setting for "New Submission" , unless if i am missing where it is.?

Looking for your response.
Thank you.

Hi,

If the Edit View is accessed via the Visforms data view with an edit link or via Visforms Mysubmissions, Visforms always redirects to the page from which the Edit View was accessed.
There is no setting for specifying a different redirect URL via configuration.

There is the following option to achieve a different behavior:

The prerequisite is that a menu item Visforms data view with an edit link exists.
The Edit View can then be accessed directly via a link.
This link is:
index.php?option=com_visforms&view=edit&layout=edit&task=edit.editdata&id=1&cid=1&return=EncryptedReturnUrl&Itemid=1
id is the form ID
cid is the record ID
Itemid is the menu ID of the Visforms Data View with an edit link menu item
A custom return URL can be set in this link.
The desired return URL must be appropriately encrypted.
The format must conform to the following encoding:
strtr(base64_encode($val), '+/=', '-_,');

Thank you for the update.

But what i want is :
Lets assume i already have integration of a plugin with visform where fields are mapped with my plugin.

Now, i want a URL for all submitted forms ( My submissions menu)  when i click on a button from my site it links directly to the particular form and not provide the list of all submissions with edit button. That what i am trying to achieve. is there a way currently to do this?

Thank you

Hi,

there is an event 

with the following parameters

which you can retrieve in the event handler

you could basically use this event handler to redirect to the desired page.

Before you redirect you have to make sure that you clear the user state and check the record in.
Like it is done in the controller code in the components/com_visforms/src/Controller/EditController.php
Which usually runs after all event handlers are processed.

EditController.php (line 307ff)
Make sure, that your plugin with the event handler is the last one in the plugin list.
So that the Visforms event handler for this event are still executed.

Thank you very much for your detailed Explanation.

I will go through it carefully and implement.... Hopefully all goes well.

Thank you once more.
