    Hi - I have configured a ".or redirect to this page" in the Notification Options, but I want this to redirect on either HTTP or HTTPS, depending on what was used to post the original form.

    Can you please tell me how to do this?

    One way I can think of would be to send the "redirect" page as a hidden field, so I would have control over the page - but I can't seem to find a way to do this.

    Thanks!!!

    Hello,

    Two suggestions:
    1. Just direct everyone to the SSL site, there shouldn't be a problem with doing that yes?

    2. If you really need this bifurcation, then add a hidden field 'Secured' to your form, with the formula:
    parent.location.protocol+'//'
    next, find the alias of this field ... something like %%tfa_Secured%%
    finally, in the thank you url place:
    @CONCATENATE(%%tfa_Secured%%,'google.com')

    note that you can only use aliases with the professional plan.

    Let me know if you need further assistance,
    FA Support.

    Thanks for the reply... not sure about 1) as the form is actually in an IFRAME and having different protocols across frames generates a browser error.

    2) sounds ok... although it would be a really useful feature to be able to post a redirect url with the form data.

    With regard to 2, you could use the exact same procedure for a full url:

    1. Hidden field with url data
    2. set thank-you url to %%tfa_HiddenField%% ( see our aliases page )
    but note that the user could always change the value in that hidden field if they were so inclined.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not normally this stupid, but I'm finding it quite hard to work out how to add the hidden field in a usable way.

    I've added a hidden field through the form designer. Set the question to "Redirect URL" and saved it.

    Looking at the raw HTML, it seems to have created a hidden field called ""tfa_0083578910335" ... not quite what I was expecting.

    So, I paste "%%tfa_0083578910335%%" into the redirect field, but it doesn't like that "not a valid url"

    If this hidden field classified as an alias, and therefore do I need the pro plan and will it all become clear once (if) I upgrade?

    Bit confused.

    Hello,

    Yes, unfortunately there is no way to really test that functionality without being on the Pro Plan. If you decide to try out the Pro Plan, remember that we offer a 30 day refund if you're dissatisfied.

    Happy to help further,
    FA Support.
