Hi all,

On our site, we have a form that posts information back to our CRM.  Our CRM software then sends a success, or "thank you" page if the user filled the form out correctly.

I am using the iframe module to call a page that only contains the form, and this solution functions properly with one exception.  When the thank you page is returned from the CRM, it returns it inside the iframe module.  Since iframe module sits on a side panel in our page,  it's demensions are small.  The resulting page inside the iframe can't be seen without forcing the user to scroll on the iframe.

My work around right now it so make the thank you page VERY small (i.e. 200pxX100px) so it fits in the iframe window without requiring the user to scroll.  This works, but is not ideal.  I would like to put more information on the thank you page.

So here is my question:  Does anyone know how I can make the entire parent page update with the Thank You page instead of just the Iframe module?

Thanks in advance,

John

Hi everyone,

I stepped away from this project, but am focusing on it again.  I am sure it is a common task to have to add third party forms to a DNN page, so I am not sure why I am having a hard time finding info.  I am probably missing the boat on something obvious, or I am searching on the wrong thing.

Just to recap what I need:

1.  I have a form autogenerated by a third party system. 
2.  This form is to be placed on my DNN site, and when the submit button is hit, it posts the data back to the third party system.
3.  A resulting Success or Failure page is returned from the third party system.

I can get the form to post correctly using the IFrame module and calling the form located on an HTML page. But, when the Success/Failure page in #3 is returned, it only populates the Iframe section.  I want the entire page to refresh to the success page.

Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

Thanks in advance!

When you use the iframe, you are just displaying what the other site provides.  You don't have a way of connecting this to the DNN site.

You will need to integrate the form into DotNetNuke.  You can use the form, but you will need to do some modifications to the form to remove the form post and use javascript to accomplish that.

It might be easier to use something like Dynamic Forms which can do what you need all in the context of the DotNetNuke site.

Lee/Craig,

I just now realized I did not reply to this post.

I have been aware of the dynamic forms module for a while, but I only now decided to buy it based on your advice.  I was hesitant to buy it at first, as I was able to use the Iframe work around, but as I needed it for more sites, I finally purchased a license for one site.

For anyone reading, it worked great.  They have about 40 examples, so you can get up and running quickly.  It took me no time to learn.

Thanks guys.

John

great, glad to hear it works well,
