Adding an action to email submit

[Former Community Member]

The scenario is



the user clicks the email submit button

after sending the email the user is redirected to another page.



I have done the following which works but apparently is not quite right as it seems as if two pages are open. I can live with this but would prefer to do something a bit more elegant (and correct).



Here is what I have done:



After the line generated by Designer



---form1.#subform[0].EmailSubmitButton1::mouseDown=FormCalc, client----



I have



xfa.host.gotoURL("http:\\www.xyz.com");

Try making your custom submit button.




On Click event paste this lines:

var email_address = "mailto:xxx@sxs.net";

// Using later to send the document

var doc = event.target;

// redirecting...

xfa.host.gotoURL("http:/\/\www.google.es");

// 1) if you want to submit the document

doc.submitForm( { cURL: url_address } );

// 2) if you want to send an email

this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:" +

email_address + "?subject='here the subject'&body='here the body'";

b Good Luck!!!

Dan,



Thanks for trying. The following construct also fails to send the document data.

I truly appreciate your efforts but I don't think it would be worth your time to devote more effort to this.

If I fiddle with the code a bit, the "mailto:xyz@abc.com appears as as URL in the address window of my browser.



Howard



var check = xfa.resolveNode("CheckBox1");

var email_address = "maito:xyz@abc.com";

//Getting the document's target object. It be used later in order

//to send the document.

var doc = event.target;

//Validating the document. You can put here the rest of the

//document's validations.

if(check.rawValue == 0){

app.alert("You must certify that you have read Section 78.");

}else{

//Submit the document. See the documentation for

//more submit options.

doc.submitForm( { cURL: url_address } );

}

Ok, if you want but be careful with misprint in "mailto" you have put "maito" and it wont work.



Check your code thoroughly, because I have tried this example and it works.

Yikes. I am embarassed about my poor typing and grateful to you for following up.



Is this something you do for a hobby or do you consulting? If the latter could you send your contact information to me at consult@hlfunk.com



Your script works perfectly.

Dan,



Your construct works beautifully but I note that is sends an FDF file rather than an XML file. I checked the submit options but they seem to work only with the standard email button and not with the custom button.



Tips?

I have the solution:



var url_address = "mailto:abc@xyz.com";

var form_format = "XML";

doc.submitForm({ cURL: url_address, cSubmitAs: form_format} );



Many thanks for all of your help.

It is true and you can send more than one every time.



For example:






var url = "mailto:email@server.com";

var sendAs = "XDP";


// Adding more packets for send.


var packets = new Array("datasets","pdf");

var doc = event.target;



doc.submitForm( { cURL: url, cSubmitAs: sendAs, aPackets: packets } );





If you want to learn more about 'submitForm' method, read this:


AcroJS.pdf (Reference) - page 309 (aprox.)



I don't take part in the Adobe's consulting team, therefore that I do this for hobbie is more probable :P.




Good Luck!

Danmaster,



Many thanks again. Your notes have been much more helpful than the offical manuals.
