eForm: pass TemplateVariable to thankyou page when using gotoid

Hi,

I am using an eForm that contains a field which is populated with a template variable. This passes on to the respective chunks ok. The problem is that I have to use a separate thank you page (using &gotoid) because the form is at the bottom of a lot of text and jumps back to the top after submitting. The template variables are not preserved and I tried to call &gotoid=’22&myVar="foo"’ but that doesn’t work.

Questions:

- Is there a way to display the thank you message at the top of the page? I don’t want to put the page content in the form chunk tough, it has to be kept editable by the user.

- Is there a way to pass the template variable on the next document on form submission?

Thank You!

I’m trying to do a similar thing. I have a page with information about a piece of property on it. A user can click a link that takes them to a contact form where they can receive more info about that property. I’m trying to pass the property name/ID from the first page to contact (as you would do with a POST or GET). I know that I can reuse input variables from the first page if I use the eForm "thankyou" chunk, but I need to use the "gotoid" to send it to the page with the contact form info. What’s the best way to pass a form value to another page?

why don’t you use session?

How would I store the parm in the session? I know how this is done in PHP, but what MODx mechanism would be used for handling the form var being passed?

Use whatever you want. You do not need a modx mechanism. I don’t think modx has one for sessions.

Use one of the eForm events and just set your session $_SESSION[’your-session-name’] = ’your value’;
Then you read this in your thank you page.

Would someone please post an example of how this is done??

Thank you, Tom
