Displaying thank you page content depending on a specific form value

Hi,

I have a Perch form that includes a <select> element with four options. On form submission, I need to send through a Google Analytics script that is specific to the selected value of the <select>. I tried to use a <perch:if> within a <perch: success> block to check against the value of the <select>, but that didn't work. What would be the best way to achieve what I need?

Thanks in advance for any input and guidance.

Have you tried displaying the form using either perch_content() or perch_content_custom()?

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your reply. No I haven't tried that. Would that approach allow me to get the <select> value from the form and then display content specific to that value on the thank you page?

Apologies, I've got myself mixed up. Are you wanting to setup a separate thank you (redirect) page in the form settings? Drew or Rachel will have to answer that one, as it sounds like a custom PHP job (if it even is possible).

It is possible however to display different content within the <success> field based on the value of the select field (if you're using <success> instead of a separate redirect thank you page):

<perch:success>
    <perch:if id="select_id" match="eq" value="select_value_1">
        ...
    </perch:if>
    <perch:if id="select_id" match="eq" value="select_value_2">
        ...
    </perch:if>
    <perch:if id="select_id" match="eq" value="select_value_3">
        ...
    </perch:if>
</perch:success>

Thanks Philip. Yes, the aim is to deliver an Analytics script that's specific to a value of a <select> in the form. Using a <perch:if> within the <perch:success> was my initial attempt at this, but I can't seem to get any output from that at all.

You'll need to read those values in the page and then pass it into the template.
