Redirect users after completing an action

Andrew Hedden

This article will explain how to setup the NEXTURL argument in Convio. This argument allows you to specify which page a user is redirected to after submitting a form within Convio.



Example:



We want to create a link that asks the user to login and then redirect them to the homepage.



1) Create a login link by choosing the type of link from the 'Links' dropdown. In our example, this would be 'User Registration'.



2) Choose 'Options' next to the link you want to add. 'Login' for our example.



3) In the 'Additional Arguments' text box, you will enter the NEXTURL argument and it's value as:



NEXTURL=]



* Where "foo" is the page you want users to be redirected to after logging in.

* The "T1" is there to encode the URL.

* If you want the constituent to come back to the same page they were on when clicking your link after they have logged in, replace "foo" with "]". For example:





NEXTURL=]]]



4) Click 'Insert Link'



Now, if we look at the html source of our link, we will have:



<A href="UserLogin?NEXTURL=]]]">Login</A>



Note: The "]" will not be converted until the page is rendered on the front end.
