Not redirecting after form submission in webtolead capture

[southwestcrm]

SugarOs 4.5.1.d
I have created a lead form and added it to my site.
when it is filled in and submitted the details are entered into the LEADS table and linked to the correct CAMPAIGN.
All OK so far...

However the filler inner is redirected to a page that says "PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED becuase of an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attemp access"
The address bar contains the correct url (if I hit enter key the website is accessed ok)

The code performing the redirect is:
<INPUT id="redirect_url" type="hidden" value="http://www.google.com" name="redirect_url">

any ideas anyone?

This is because the page you made as your redirect page is an HTML page and as such is unable to process the POST data that SugarCRM is sending it.

Attached is a webtolead.php file that does not send any data to the final page.

Another option would be to make your redirect page a PHP page which by default would work even if you did not do anything with the POSTed data.

Thanks Ken, I will change the html page to be a php page instead. If I replace the webtolead.php with your one I presume I would lose some functionality which I may want in the future (other forms)?? Maybe you can point me to a place which describes when I might need Sugar to send data to the redirected page?

Also - if i replace the default webtolead.php file, upgrades would require manual checking of this file each time?

Thanks for your input

kbrill,

Thanks for this solution; I was having the same problem and making the thank you page php solved it!

I am looking to pass data to the php page and to redirect it to another page after the data is sent to the php page. How can I do this?

Kbrill,

Thanks, that new file works good. I was wondering why the regular one was working for top level domains but not specific URL's. Yours works for specific pages such as .pdf's.

The only downside I see so far is that the contact page is still in place afterwards. I'm trying to figure out a way so that it takes them back to the main website and loads the .pdf file. Do you know how to do this?
