Submission Form to be open a link in new window after submit

[TroubleShooter]

Hi,

 

I've been creating a simple app in Capsio that is basically just a collection of links.

I want my users to select a link where they want to go, open their selected link in another window, but still remain in the same page after form submission.

 

I am using a submission form DataPage to gather data about the links. The problem is, I can only select either: 'Same Page' or 'Go to Page', but not both.

 

Hoping someone here can help me.

 

Thanks in advance =)

Hello @TroubleShooter,

 

Been there before.

 

What I did was to select 'Display a message' instead. Using the rich text editor, I have written a display message and created two links.

One, to go to their selected page. Another, to go/return to the Web form.

I almost forgot,

 

Just to add up, for a better user-experience, you may also make use of JavaScript to do this 'programatically'. Meaning, the web browser will take care of opening a new window and reloading the page for your users.

*UPDATE*: You users might be asked to enable pop-ups. They would need to enable that for your site.

 

Just uncheck the enable HTML editor,

paste the given code block,

and replace [@field:link] to correspond with your link field:

<script>
window.open('[@field:link]', '_blank', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no');
location.reload();
</script>

 

Hope this helps.
