Page where User came from - fill into my Confiforms

Jakob QN June 19, 2024

Hi there,

im not sure if it is possible and havent found anything about this topic yet.

I have a Feedback-Confiforms that allows Users to give Feedback about all the pages in a space. All pages have little buttons that lead the User to the Feedback-Confiforms page. I want to automatically fill in the page where the user came from into the Confiforms field which asks the user about which page he wants to give me Feedback.

I see two tasks:

  1. Get the info about the previous page (stored by confiforms somewhere in the background)
  2. Fill in the page into a confiforms-field that lets the user also delete this input again and search for another page if he wishes to do so.

I konw this is a lot. I hope it is clear and someone has a great Idea :))

Do you have those buttons created with ConifForms Registrations Control macros? Or those are just links to some other page where the actual form is? Something like this may be - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Overriding+defaults+of+ConfiForms+Register+macro

(current page can be extracted from a context via [entry._page])

Thank you. Setting default value is very handy.
The Buttons so far are just links to the page where the form sits.

So I guess there is no way you can extract from the context the information about the page where the user came from, correct?

That is a lot harder, right

Are those just static links? May be you can make a user macro out it and make a link that passes the current page to the page with a form?

Or may be you can, instead of links use the ConfiForms Registrations Control rendered as a link? This is even simpler, as then you can just drop the autopage type field into the form and it will track the "source" for you automatically

Yes. Those were my thought as well. I will see if I can implement one of the solutions above soon. Thanks!! :)
