My situation is not as unique. I develop websites on a development server (with a different domain than the final location). If I hard code the domain, I have to remember to change each redirect location every time I push a code update to the live server. It would be MUCH easier if I was allowed to enter '/redirect-location' instead of 'http://example.com/redirect-location'.</p> <p>Please consider adding this feature. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-66145 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 13:03:11 +0000 David Peralty 66145@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You are using the same form, but they show up on different URLs, so what if using our gform_pre_render hook, you grabbed the current URL, parsed out the "folder" if it exists, and use that to build your redirect URL? </p> <p>So on load, check current URL, explode by "/" grab the last part, put that value in a hidden field, and then use that value to make your redirect? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-66138 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:47:00 +0000 finddarkpoet 66138@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>First of all, I'm using the very same form for all languages, translated with WPML. Let's say my form is on home page, it will be:</p> <p>English:<br /> domain.com<br /> Spanish:<br /> domain.com/es/<br /> Chinese:<br /> domain.com/zh-hans/</p> <p>Which means the language slug is already included in the url.</p> <p>Since I'm using the same form for all languages, the form can not determine what language currently it's using. And I can only set one confirmation redirect. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-66134 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:14:09 +0000 Chris Hajer 66134@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is the language portion of the url (slug) available in the page you're on? Could you store it in a hidden field on the form ("language") and then use that in your confirmation redirect? So you might have a hidden "language" field and it would be pre-populated with "zh-hans" in the case of Chinese? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-66077 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 07:00:41 +0000 finddarkpoet 66077@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry for the late reply.</p> <p>The idea is to use the form to perform a simple search function.</p> <p>For example, I have already created pages and the permalinks are like this:</p> <p>domain.com/chest-pain-clinic-doctors.html<br /> domain.com/general-cardiology-doctors.html</p> <p>So, in the form, I have created a dropdown field, admin label is "department", with choices like "Chest pain clinic doctors", and set value as "chest-pain-clinic-doctors", in the confirmation setting, I set the redirection to:<br /> <a href="http://domain.com/" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/</a>{department:1:value}.html<br /> when it's selected and click on the submit button, the page redirects to domain.com/chest-pain-clinic-doctors.html, it works perfectly.</p> <p>My problem is, I have the same pages for multiple languages, take Spanish for example, the aforementioned urls will become:</p> <p>domain.com/es/chest-pain-clinic-doctors.html<br /> domain.com/es/general-cardiology-doctors.html</p> <p>For Chinese, they will become:</p> <p>domain.com/zh-hans/chest-pain-clinic-doctors.html<br /> domain.com/zh-hans/general-cardiology-doctors.html</p> <p>So of course, absolute url like this <a href="http://domain.com/" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/</a>{department:1:value}.html won't work.</p> <p>Is this information enough?</p> <p>Best regards, </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-64543 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 11:08:24 +0000 Chris Hajer 64543@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sure. Can you give me some example data to go with, and some rules. Rules which mimic your admin routing. Something like</p> <p>If the choice is "whatever" then send the email to "this address"<br /> AND<br /> include this information in the notification to the user.</p> <p>If we start with that I should be able to point you in the right direction. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-64479 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:16:51 +0000 finddarkpoet 64479@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>Thanks for the tips. The first option sounds great. I'm not really a code person, can you shed some light on how to use the filter. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-64391 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 12:05:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 64391@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You have a unique situation which might require a unique solution. You could handle the redirect in your theme's functions.php. You can rewrite the redirect URL based on whether you need a relative or absolute URL. You would use the gform_confirmation filter:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_confirmation" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_confirmation</a></p> <p>The logic and code to determine the URL is up to you. But then use the gform_confirmation filter to set that URL.</p> <p>That is one approach.</p> <p>The other approach would be to send something in the query string, then have a template hold the logic for your redirect. I like the first option better, but we can explore this option as well if you like. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-64390 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:53:06 +0000 finddarkpoet 64390@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi David, I'm using WPML for translations.</p> <p>Any workaround?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-relative-path-when-redirect#post-64325 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 08:38:31 +0000 David Peralty 64325@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Gravity Forms can't do relative redirects, and I am not certain how you can easily grab/use the multi-language code as part of the redirect. What plugin are you using for your translations? </p>
