How to change the target for redirect hook from another hook?

I need to change the target for redirect hook based on certain conditions from another hook. I call FormIt with this:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`myHook,redirect`
&redirectTo=`149`
&store=`1`
...

In [tt]myHook[/tt] I use this to change the [tt]&redirectTo[/tt] value:

$hook->formit->config['redirectTo'] = 148

This actually works and redirects to resource 148 instead of 149. What is essential here, the redirect can’t be invoked from inside the hook to not disturb the form submission and saving values to cache. Is this how it should be done or is there a more proper way to do it? I’m using FormIt 1.7.

Wow, thank you for sharing this. I have been trying to do something like this for a month or two.

You may or may not want to use the code I write. It's probably all against the syntax rules of php and MODx.

In FormIt 2.0+, this *should* work as well:

$hook->setRedirectUrl('myurltogoto');

/* or */

$myResourceId = 123;
$url = $modx->makeUrl($myResourceId,'','','full'); 
// make sure to use 'full' above for IE
$hook->setRedirectUrl($url);
