Hi guys,

I'm using same the same form in multiple pages and I'd like to pass page URL via hidden field so that we can track where on our site people fill in the form.

I tried to add this code in the "edit javascript" -part:

document.getElementById("hidden-element-id-from-the-form").value=document.location.href;

Unfortunately this breaks the form and the submit button doesn't work after this mod.

Would you be able to help me out with this?

cheers,
-juha-

Dear Juha,

Please try move that code in to before_load() function.
If the problem persist, please give us (to [email protected]) a link to your site and temporary admin user account, and we will try to find out the problem and fix it as soon as possible.

Best regards

Thank you for quick reply. This worked perfectly.

To help others make this happen a bit quicker pls find the code below that i used via edit Javascript

// before form is load
function before_load()
{
document.getElementById("7_element2").value=document.location.href;
}	
// before form submit
function before_submit()
{
}	
// before form reset
function before_reset()
{	
}

I'm confused with the document.getElementById() part. I already created a new form [Form id="10"]. This is the steps I made afterwards:

1. Clicked on Add New Field
2. Selected Text Input
3. Ticked Hidden Field

I was about to Save it but received an error (the name of the field is required)

Can I input anything on the Field Name? ( I tried to input Page URL as Field Name)

Also in the field ID its output is 8_elementform_id_temp

I also tried replacing 8_elementform_id_temp to 8_element10 but still Page URL column on my Submissions page is empty

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!

Dear Papay
First, you should put something in the "Field Name" before saving. Please use PageURL (without space) instead of Page URL.

You can use the field ID 8_elementform_id_temp in the javascript. This will be automatically recognized and replaced.

P.S. As Juha explained, the field ID is 8_elementform_id_temp on the back end (admin). On the front end form_id_temp will be replaced by the form ID (i.e. 8_element10 if your form ID is 10) both in the html and js.

Field Id: wdform_9_elementform_id_temp
Field Name: PageURL

What I put in "before_load" javascript:
function before_load()
{
document.getElementById("wdform_9_elementform_id_temp").value=document.location.href;
}

Does not work ;(

Help please !

Dear Patrick,

Please give us direct link to your form.

this was working great, but somehow after an update it stopped working correctly. The PageURL is put into the e-mail, but not into the database anymore. Strange.

Looking at the source of the page that has my form, it says:

<script type="text/javascript">// before form is load
function before_load() {
     document.getElementById("wdform_13_element11").value=document.location.href;
}

// before form submit
function before_submit() {
}

// before form reset
function before_reset() {
     
}</script>

<input type="hidden" value="" id="wdform_13_element11" name="PageURL" >

Dear Evelien,

Could you please contact us to [email protected] and let us to take a look at the issue? Please mention the full link to your forum post in your e-mail.Also please include temporary admin credentials to your website in the mail.

Thank you

send you the mail. Thanks for helping out.

Dear Eveline,

We received your email.

so what was the solution?

Dear Richard,

You can get the URL written in a Hidden Field the following way. You need to write a few lines of jQuery code to Form Options > Javascript. The approximate code is the following:

var pathURL = location.pathname;   
jQuery('#hidden_field_id').val(pathURL);
