Alert user on successful submission of form data

[WinstonPinto]

Hi,

I want to alert the user on successful saving of data in the form and show him the id of the saved item on alert so that he can track the status of it in future.I have searched for this but found code to redirect him to display/edit form but i want to redirect him to custom page.Any help on this regard?

Regards,
Winston.

Dear Winston,
You can actually use the same code to redirect users to any page, like this:

Code: Select all

fd.onsubmit(function() {
    var uri = fd.setUrlParam(decodeURIComponent(window.location.href), 'FDRedirectWithID', 'https://domain.sharepoint.com/sites/dev/subsite/SitePages/page.aspx?redirectedID=');
    fd.sourceFormParam(uri);
    return true;
});

This should open the page with the parameter in URL, on the page if it's in SharePoint you can add Script Editor web-part with the following code:

Code: Select all

<script  type="text/javascript">
function getUrlParameter(sParam) {
    var sPageURL = decodeURIComponent(window.location.search.substring(1)),
        sURLVariables = sPageURL.split('&'),
        sParameterName,
        i;

    for (i = 0; i < sURLVariables.length; i++) {
        sParameterName = sURLVariables[i].split('=');

        if (sParameterName[0] === sParam) {
            return sParameterName[1] === undefined ? true : sParameterName[1];
        }
    }
};

alert('Item created! ID is ' + getUrlParameter('redirectedID'));
</script>

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.Let me explain you the problem in detail:

I have a reference number field in the form which is hidden from the user. On submit i want to inform user about the this reference number using alert but the problem is that this alert should be displayed only after the record is saved in sharepoint list.
If the alert message is displayed and the user closes the window data is not saved in the list hence there is no point in showing this reference number without data been saved to list.

Winston.

Dear Winston,
You have two options here:
1) Either redirect user as described above, that would definitely work. Instead of just redirecting with ID, you can also include value from the hidden field in the URL, then use alert() to show user this value on the next page.
2) You can use JavaScript to check that all conditions for saving are met, that all required field are filled and just before saving an item, show an alert(). This happens before saving an item, but there shouldn't be any issues if you've checked all the required conditions first, unless something happens with the connection, of course, but that's unlikely.
