BizForms Submit Redirect to relative path

Hi,

I have a BizForms page at a few different aliases. E.g.:

http://www.mywebsite.com/path1/BizForm.aspx
http://www.mywebsite.com/path2/BizForm.aspx
http://www.mywebsite.com/path3/BizForm.aspx

And I want to redirect the user to a 'Thanks' page. The 'Thanks' page is also at at the same aliases. i.e.

http://www.mywebsite.com/path1/Thanks.aspx
http://www.mywebsite.com/path2/Thanks.aspx
http://www.mywebsite.com/path3/Thanks.aspx

How can I set the BizForms to redirect the user to the relative Alias? So submissions from the ~/path1/BizForm.aspx redirect to ~/path1/Thanks.aspx.

After entering the relative path in the BizForms settings page (path1/Thanks.aspx), it turns out that Kentico doesn't respect relative paths and instead tries to redirect the user to:

http://www.mywebsite.com/CMSModules/BizForms/InlineControls/Thanks.aspx

Hmm....

So how can I set a relative path URL? It seems I can only set an absolute URL path right now, and that's no good for me when tracking campaigns.

Thanks!

RE:BizForms Submit Redirect to relative path

That doesn't work - it attempts to redirect me to:

http//www.mywebsite.com/CMSModules/BizForms/InlineControls/~%7B%Parent.NodeAliasPath%%7D/Thanks.aspx

i.e. Kentico escapes the characters, and doesn't recognise the macro string.

This is when entered in the 'BizForms' -> 'General' -> 'After the form is submitted:' -> 'Redirect to URL:' field.

Should I enter it somewhere else?

RE:BizForms Submit Redirect to relative path

Hello,

May I ask you, why did you post this to a forum for version 6.x of Kentico CMS? Anyway, the approach I have mentioned doesn't work for version 4.x of Kentico CMS and you would have to customize the BizForm web part to redirect your visitors to the requested page. Or you can upgrade your Kentico to the version 6 and take advantage of macros.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

Oops! My bad. I came in via a search and didn't notice which board I was on. Feel free to move it to the v4.x boards.

Thanks for the additional info. We're migrating our sites to v6.0 now anyway, so this should resolve itself soon.

Best regards,

Robert.
