redirect pages after form submit

JitseSchaafsma · April 1, 2003

If someone could help me with this.

I have two databases DB1 and DB2.

I have an edit form using DB2.

Now I have made a HTML that enables me to 1] edit records in DB2 and going back to DB1 and redirect to another html page with a form that is based on records from DB1.

So i have two buttons : edit and back

But what i really want is one button that edits the record in DB2 and that redirects the browser to a HTML page "of" DB1.

What i could do is build a onload script that redirects the page after loading to DB1.

My question is: is there a syntax available that edits a record in DB2 and then automaticly redirects to DB1.

So in pseudocode what i want is :

FMPro?-DB=DB2&-lay=L2&-Format=LDB1.htm&-RecID=[FMP-CurrentToken]&-Edit"

Where L2 is the layout of DB2 and LDB1.htm a form page of DB1.

I know this code does not work because the format file must be based on DB2 (instead of DB1).

Any suggestions are welcome

You could, as you say, use an onload within a transient page (this is a method I use). This page would contain a Form for submission. Or, you could use an Inline Action in the Format file.

All the best.

Not sure if this applies to your situation but I frequently use a redirect.htm page:

In the editing page you'd have

-db=db1, lay=cgi, format=redirect.htm, recid=[fmp-currentrecid],-edit

In the redirect.htm page you'd have

The action of the redirect might also be changed into a -find passing the search parameter with a token

indeed i came up with the same solutions.

I had hoped for a more "intelligent" option

This is what i have made.

I use a token to redirect the page and to limit the HTML page in case the browser needs to be redirected.

(*do not forget to pass the token when calling this page*)

(* i use Token.1 as a parameter *)

var i =0

function initpage(){

if ([FMP-CurrentToken:1]==1)

window.document.location.href="http://10.0.1.4/FMPro?-DB=webexpert&-lay=L2&-Format=M1Ebackup1.htm&-RecID=[FMP-CurrentToken:0]&-Edit"

}

function OKselect(){

var str1

var refstr

var v1

var v2

var v3

var v4

var v5

str1="http://10.0.1.4/FMPro?-DB=configuraties&-lay=L1&-Format=editconfig.htm&-RecID=[fmp-currentrecid]"

v1=window.document.myform.omschrijving.value

v2=window.document.myform.Q.value

v3=window.document.myform.V.value

refstr=str1+"&omschrijving="+v1+"&Q="+v2+"&V="+v3+"&-Token.0=[FMP-CurrentToken:0]&-Token.1=1&-edit"

window.document.location.href=refstr

}

function CANCELselect(){

window.document.location.href="http://10.0.1.4/FMPro?-DB=configuraties&-lay=L1&-Format=newconfig.htm&-RecID=[FMP-CurrentRecId]&-Token.0=[FMP-CurrentToken:0]&-Token.1=1&-Delete"

}
