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), '+/=', '-_,');

Regards,
Aicha

I recommend you the new and up-to-date documentation for Joomla 5:

Most of this also applies retrospectively to Joomla 4.
Please only ask 1 question per topic :-)

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

Code:

onVisformsAfterEditFormSave

with the following parameters

Code:

'subject' => $visform,
 'context' => 'com_visforms.form',
 'fields' => $fields

which you can retrieve in the event handler

Code:

public function onVisformsAfterEditFormSave(VisformsAfterEditFormSaveEvent $event): void {
        // after saving edit form results
        // context = 'com_visforms.form'

        $context = $event->getContext();
        $form = $event->getForm();
        $fields = $event->getFields();
    }

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)

Code:

$app->setUserState('com_visforms.' . $visform->context , null);
$app->setUserState('com_visforms.fieldsdisabledstate.' . $visform->context , null);
$adminModel = $this->getModel('Visdata', 'Administrator');
// Table Visdata expects the parameter fid
$this->input->set('fid', $visform->id);
$adminModel->checkin($this->input->get('cid'));

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.

Regard,
Aicha
