Hi,
I'm very new to MachForm and have a question about creating a unique number based on the form name and an ID.
The idea is I would like to be able to pass this unique name+ID to paypal when the form is submitted so I can identify which form relates to which payment.
I dont think this is available by default so am looking for some help from someone else who may have already done this.
Thanks in advance,
Shay
Basically, we need to append the unique id into the redirect URL.
Since you require two parameter to be passed, we can use form id and record id.
Take a look into includes/post-functions.php file, search around line 910 - 914:
if(empty($error_elements) && empty($process_result['custom_error'])){
$process_result['status'] = true;
}else{
$process_result['status'] = false;
}
Modify the code above to be like this:
if(empty($error_elements) && empty($process_result['custom_error'])){
$process_result['status'] = true;
$process_result['form_redirect'] = $form_redirect."?unique_id_1={$form_id}&unique_id_2={$record_insert_id}";
}else{
$process_result['status'] = false;
}
That would append two parameters to your redirect URL. In this sample, we're adding unique_id_1 and unique_id_2, you can change this to whatever you need.

Thanks for that, it works great. I assume this means that all forms I create will have these extra items if the form is redirected to another page?

Yes. If you would like to limit it to certain form only, you can use this code instead:
if(empty($error_elements) && empty($process_result['custom_error'])){
$process_result['status'] = true;
if($form_id == 2){
$process_result['form_redirect'] = $form_redirect."?unique_id_1={$form_id}&unique_id_2={$record_insert_id}";
}
}else{
$process_result['status'] = false;
}
That would limit it to form with id = 2.

Would it be possible to do this same thing, except pass some of the other field values along to the redirect page?
I would like to pass selected values along and then do some calculations with a javascript on my redirect page to have a total posted.
To pass some field values to your redirect page, your redirect page should be a PHP file.
Then follow the instruction here:

That would allow you to display your form values into your redirect page.
