This would be especially useful for a large website with many pages which has a machform embedded on each page. It would be nice to be able to see exactly which page the user came from WITHOUT having to change the url in the embed code to match each individual page of the website. i.e. <a href="http://www.example.com/page1" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/page1</a> , <a href="http://www.example.com/page2" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/page2</a> etc.</p> <p>Thank you in advance!</p> <p>-Robert </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/track-which-website-user-came-from#post-23355 Fri, 29 May 2015 23:22:57 +0000 grossbusterscc 23355@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>This works like a charm, thank you so much! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/track-which-website-user-came-from#post-23332 Mon, 25 May 2015 10:05:10 +0000 redityo 23332@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The easy way, you can put a single line text field into your form and parse parent domain url information through url variable.<br /> You can use iframe embed code for this and put the url variable like this on your form url :</p> <pre><code>&lt;iframe src=&quot;.../embed.php?id=1234&#38;element_id=http://site1.com&quot; ..</code></pre> <p>In there I assume single line text field id is 1 and then you can hide that single line text id from the user using css code.<br /> For further information, you can see these link :</p> <p><a href="http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/doc-url-parameters</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/track-which-website-user-came-from#post-23331 Mon, 25 May 2015 06:26:14 +0000 grossbusterscc 23331@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I would like to embed the same form on multiple websites and it would be great if I could track which site the user filled out the form at.</p> <p>I currently have multiple versions of the same exact form; one for each site. When a user fills one out, I know which site they came from because I set the subject line for the email I receive upon submission as the domain with that particular form. This method works, but is a massive pain whenever we need to make changes to the forms- we have to change each one individually.</p> <p>Any suggestions?</p> <p>Thanks!!</p> <p>-Robert </p>
