Redirect on error or success

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    I have a form that is in a small space in my design. If a user submits the form and forgets a field I need to have it redirect to a new page instead of replacing the form with the error message (there is not enough room in the design for the message).

    Alternatively I would like the confirmation and error to appear in a modal box preferably without a page refresh.

    Is any of this possible?

    Cheers,

    Eric

    The only thing you could try doing is using a hook to hardcode the form action and point it to a page that also has the form embedded on it. The filter you would use is the gform_form_tag filter.

    Here is an example:

    <?php
add_filter("gform_form_tag", "form_tag", 10, 2);
function form_tag($form_tag, $form){
$form_tag = preg_replace("|action='(.*?)'|", "action='custom_handler.php'", $form_tag);
return $form_tag;
}
?>
    Copy

    That would change the form action to custom_handler.php... in your case you would probably want it to be something like this:

    http://mydomain.com/my/page

    This is just a suggestion. Gravity Forms doesn't do what you are asking by default so no guarantees this would accomplish your goal.

    I found a good workaround that I wanted to share. Instead of doing the change in GF I just detect if the error message is there and if it is I redirect via javascript/jquery. Here is the code:

    /* Catalog goto page on error */
	if (jQuery("#catalogFlyout .validation_error").length){
    // do something here
    document.location.href = '/form-error';
}
    Copy

    Is there a work around for Redirecting on Errors yet? I am placing a gravity form in a header with 110px height and would like to redirect on errors. I have tried to use the javascript eCurtis posted but was not sure it I can call the Javascript from the header.php file by adding a call to a js file?
    Something like <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/formerror.js"></script>

    Thanks for any help!

    I think I got it figured out. I had to make a few modifications to get it working. I decided not to redirect but to alert with javascript then refresh. I am thinking I would like to just clear the form rather then refresh, but I am using css to hide the Validation error container and messages and without refreshing the page they do not show.

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    if(jQuery("body #gform_wrapper_2 div.validation_error").length != 0){

        // code that should be run if the validation error exists goes here
  alert("First Name, Last Name and Email must be filled out");
  window.location.reload()
      }
});
    Copy

    I had a similar issue and tried to use the solution proposed by Carl

    however it doesn't work for me... I have a registration form (the form ID is 2)

    I placed this code in my functions

    function sg_regform_redirect( $form_tag, $form ) {

    $form = 2;
    $form_tag = preg_replace( '|action="(.*?)"|', 'action="' get_bloginfo( 'url' ) . '/register' . '"', $form_tag);
    return $form_tag;

}
add_filter( 'gform_form_tag', 'sg_regform_redirect', 10, 2);
    Copy

    I tested the form and it doesn't redirect to the page indicated, it just runs as usual. despite there are errors or not

    I also tried to hardcode the page to redirect the form action to, but no difference

    maybe I'm handling the $form value incorrectly? I only want this filter to apply on a specific form with ID = 2.

    can you help me?

    thank you

    ps - of course the target page contains the same form as the form I want to redirect there (however, mind that the form I want to filter is embedded into a modal window found in the header of my theme - the reason why I need error messages or validation messages appear in a new page is that I can't use ajax on that modal window otherwise some other forms will be broken)

    @luxerman, what are you trying to accomplish exactly, and on what page (URL where the form is embedded, please.)

    I forgot to add the "</SCRIPT>" tags... it works now :)

    That would do it :-)

    Thanks for updating the topic.
