If you would like to limit it to certain form only, you can use this code instead:</p> <pre><code>if(empty($error_elements) &#38;&#38; empty($process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true; if($form_id == 2){ $process_result[&#39;form_redirect&#39;] = $form_redirect.&quot;?unique_id_1={$form_id}&#38;unique_id_2={$record_insert_id}&quot;; } }else{ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = false; }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> That would limit it to form with id = 2. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/generate-unique-number-based-on-form-name-and-an-id#post-1172 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 23:37:32 +0000 shay 1172@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for that, it works great. I assume this means that all forms I create will have these extra items if the form is redirected to another page?</p> <p>Shay </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/generate-unique-number-based-on-form-name-and-an-id#post-1170 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 17:19:22 +0000 yuniar 1170@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Basically, we need to append the unique id into the redirect URL.<br /> Since you require two parameter to be passed, we can use form id and record id.</p> <p>Take a look into <strong>includes/post-functions.php</strong> file, search around line 910 - 914:</p> <pre><code>if(empty($error_elements) &#38;&#38; empty($process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true; }else{ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = false; }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> Modify the code above to be like this:</p> <pre><code>if(empty($error_elements) &#38;&#38; empty($process_result[&#39;custom_error&#39;])){ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = true; $process_result[&#39;form_redirect&#39;] = $form_redirect.&quot;?unique_id_1={$form_id}&#38;unique_id_2={$record_insert_id}&quot;; }else{ $process_result[&#39;status&#39;] = false; }</code></pre> <p><code></code><br /> That would append two parameters to your redirect URL. In this sample, we're adding unique_id_1 and unique_id_2, you can change this to whatever you need. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/generate-unique-number-based-on-form-name-and-an-id#post-1168 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 06:20:38 +0000 shay 1168@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm very new to MachForm and have a question about creating a unique number based on the form name and an ID. </p> <p>The idea is I would like to be able to pass this unique name+ID to paypal when the form is submitted so I can identify which form relates to which payment.</p> <p>I dont think this is available by default so am looking for some help from someone else who may have already done this.</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Shay </p>
