I was wondering if the continue button is needed on the thank you page?

I ask because i have output a paypal subscription form on the thank you page, so i'd like the users to click on it to subscribe. however, some are confused by the continue button and are not sure which to click.

Would it be easier to put everything in the thank you page into a Static Content Item and put that into the return URL box and leave the thank you page blank?


Also, i've included some php functions in the scripts box for the form processing. and have discovered that for every new variable i want on the output i need a hidden field in the form.
ex.
FORM has value1 and value2. If i want to use value3 on the output which would be the value1 + value2 i have created a hidden variable called value3 in the form. This was $_POST can be used in the output in the form of {value3}.

Is the correct way of doing it? or is there a way to assign a variable i.e. $value3 to a variable that is accessible on the output page i.e. {value3}


thanks for your help and the great component.

After doing some experimenting i discovered that using the Referral URL instead of the Thank you page doesn't pass along the variables for display, unless it's done a different way than the thank you page. i tried the {value1} method and didn't have any luck.

Instead i was able to just hide the continue button with a little css, code below. I included this at the top of the Thank You page, not in the site style sheet. This way it only effects the Continue button on the Thank You page.
Still curious about the variable assignment question from my first post.

Hello fadedpictures,

that would be the correct way to do it. That's because RSform! parses only it's fields as placeholders, and the global placeholders. You could do the content/return url but you have to install a mambot that parses joomla variables that unfortunately slips my mind right now....
