Redirect user back to the homepage after submitting post?
 

Hi there...
I'm trying to make it so that when a user hits the 'post reply'or 'submit new thread' buttons, they wil automatically be redirected back the the forum index.

I hope that makes sense...can anyone help me?
Thanks

If it is a form you're using, you can use

When someone clicks on "Continue" or "Submit" button, it will redirect to the page you specify in the "value" key. You can also use php variables with this.

Thanks for the advice!

I need it to submit the users post (just like when I hit 'submit reply' to post this reply) and then send the user back to the index page...

Will that work?

Should do, not sure which template you'll have to edit tho' , so perhaps one of the more advanced coders could shed some light on this.

Could end up being a useful hack ;)

Thanks UK
Here is the button I am working with in the newreply template:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="{$editorid}_save" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />

Right now when a user hits it to post a reply, they get the $vbphrase"postthanks_moderate" in a splash screen and then the user is automatically redirected back to the thread.

I need them redirected back to the index instead of the thread after they submit thier post, and I can't seem to figure this out :confused:

Let's talk newreply, you figure out newpost.

on hook newreply_post_complete

set $vbulletin->url to the url of the index.

execute...
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks' , true, true));

This looks awesome, noppid, but I can't get it to work- probably because I'm not typing in the right place. Sorry.

Where exactly do I put all that in?
thanks for the help.

I didn't test it, but that is where I would start...

Hook:

I'm in the newreply template- is that where I should be typing or do I need to be elsewhere? I added that code after the submit button code, like this:

<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="{$editorid}_save" value="$vbphrase[submit_reply]" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />


$vbulletin->url = 'index.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'];
eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_postthanks' , true, true));

and it didn't do anything differently...

Thanks for your patience with my inexperience!

You need to add it to a new plug in on hook newreply_post_complete, not into a template.
