Usage

add_filter('frm_success_filter', 'change_my_confirmation_method', 10, 2);

Parameters

  • $type (array | string): An array of Confirmation actions, supported since Formidable Forms v6.0. If an empty array is returned, the default success message will be used. Possible return values are: message, redirect, or page.
  • $form (object)
  • $action (string): Used to check if this filter is running when creating or updating an entry. Possible values are: create or update.

Examples

Force Success Message on Update

This example will always show the success message when an entry is updated, even if the setting tells the form to redirect.

add_filter('frm_success_filter', 'change_my_confirmation_method', 10, 2);
function change_my_confirmation_method( $type, $form ) {
  if ( $form->id == 5 && isset( $_POST ) && isset( $_POST['frm_action'] ) && $_POST['frm_action'] == 'update' ) { //change 5 to the ID of your form
    $type = 'message';
  }
  return $type;
}

Force Success Message and Change Message

The example below will force a success message and set the message to "The form has been received."

add_filter('frm_success_filter', 'force_change_success_message', 10, 2);
function force_change_success_message( $type, $form ) {
  if ( $form->id == 5 && isset( $_POST ) && isset( $_POST['frm_action'] )) { //change 5 to the ID of your form
    $type = 'message';
	$form->options['success_msg'] = "The form has been received.";
  }
  return $type;
}

Prevent redirect action when updating entry

Use this code example to check if there is a redirect action. If there is any, remove the redirect action when updating an entry.

add_filter('frm_success_filter', 'prevent_redirect_action' , 10, 2);
function prevent_redirect_action( $type, $form, $action ) {
	if ( $form->id != 5 || 'update' != $action ) {
		return $type;
	}

	if ( 'redirect' == $type ) {
		return 'message';
	}

	if ( is_array( $type ) ) {
		foreach ( $type as $index => $conf_action ) {
			if ( 'redirect' == FrmOnSubmitHelper::get_action_type( $conf_action ) ) {
				unset( $type[ $index ] );
			}
		}
	}
		return $type;
}
