MOSS 2007 and Redirecting a Custom Form

  Asked By: Bhavika    Date: Jun 09    Category: MOSS    Views: 1542

Can this been done using SharePoint Designer so that when a user
clicks "Ok"
there are redirected to a confirmation page instead of all items? If
please provide example code or a link to a resource that explains how
can be done.

I believe the following article will do just that.


The basic idea is that you add an extra querystring parameter called
"source" when you link to the form, and specify the redirect page.

I have already seen that article and it
makes no sense, the "Ok" button doesn't have an href perameter to add
a "source" to. See below.....

<td class="ms-toolbar" nowrap="nowrap">
<SharePoint:SaveButton runat="server" ControlMode="New"

And adding a plain old HTML input button doesn't work either, that
article doesn't give near enough details on how-to get a redirect
working or am I missing something?

I haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, but it looks pretty
straightforward. When you link to the form, you simply add the source
parameter in the URL and the form  knows that when you're finished with it,
you should be taken to the page indicated in the querystring. For example,
the CKS User Group signup sample that Shane mentioned is just a link that
takes you to the following URL:


This would take you to the NewForm.aspx page and dictate that after you
submit it, you should be taken to the ThankYou.aspx page. Does that make it
more clear?
