Nav Link Functionality with Gravity Forms

I guess I found a workaround for this issue but it isn’t really pretty. I haven’t applied the fix to the site link I provided above yet but I have it working locally in Xampp.

I had to add this code to the theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'gform_confirmation_7', 'custom_confirmation_message', 10, 4 );
function custom_confirmation_message( $confirmation, $form, $entry, $ajax ) {
    $confirmation = 'Thank you for providing your information.  You will now be redirected to the page you requested' .
                    "<script>
                    /**
                    * Here you can simply change 967 to match your Popup ID #.
                    * The cookies settings will be determined the settings in the editor.
                    * Any trigger ( auto open, exit intent or scroll triggered ) that is
                    * Set to manual will have its cookie set using it's unique settings.
                    */
                    jQuery('#popmake-92').trigger('pumSetCookie');

                    /**
                    * Close the popup after a 2 second delay.
                    */
                    setTimeout(function () {
                    jQuery('#popmake-92').popmake('close');
                    }, 2000) // 5 seconds
                    window.self.jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
    window.self.jQuery(document).bind('gform_confirmation_loaded', function () {window.open('http://localhost/drivelawrence/quick-qualify/{$entry['10']}');});
});
</script>";

    return $confirmation;
}

The confirmation message encoded into that function doesn’t ever appear but the cookie does get set according to the settings setup in the plugin.

I referenced this link for to enable the script method on a cookie:
https://docs.wppopupmaker.com/article/225-close-popup-and-create-cookie-after-gravity-forms-submission

I referenced this link for help with the Gravity Forms part of the script:
https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_confirmation/#3-output-script-with-confirmation-message

It appears that I will have to create different forms for each navigation link using this method. I guess WP Popupmaker only will present a popup on a nav link but it doesn’t go beyond that to make the nav link functional without the code.

The solution we discussed in email was not the solution that was implemented at the site. After learning how Gravity Forms constructed a link for a form using Merge Tags, I came up with this:

/* Redirect link after VIP Form Confirmation
 * Ref link: https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_confirmation/
*/
add_filter( 'gform_confirmation', 'custom_confirmation', 10, 4 );
function custom_confirmation( $confirmation, $form, $entry, $ajax ) {
    /* VIP Quick Qual App */
    if( $form['id'] == '7' ) {
    $fname = rgar( $entry, '7' );
    $lname = rgar( $entry, '8' );
    $phone = rgar( $entry, '2' );
    $email = rgar( $entry, '3' );
    $redirect_url = rgar( $entry,'5');
    $goto = $redirect_url . '/?first_name=' . $fname . '&last_name=' . $lname . '&phone=' . $phone . '&email=' . $email;
    $confirmation =
                "<script>
                    /**
                    * Here you can simply change 132 to match your Popup ID #.
                    * The cookies settings will be determined the settings in the editor.
                    * Any trigger ( auto open, exit intent or scroll triggered ) that is
                    * Set to manual will have its cookie set using it's unique settings.
                    */
                    jQuery('#popmake-132').trigger('pumSetCookie');

                    /**
                    * Close the popup after a 2 second delay.
                    */
                    setTimeout(function () {
                    jQuery('#popmake-132').popmake('close');
                    }, 500) // one-half second
                    window.top.jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
                        window.top.jQuery(document).bind('gform_confirmation_loaded', function () {window.open('$goto{$entry['10']}');});
                    });
                </script>" . 'Thank you for completing the form.';
    }
    /* VIP Finance App */
    elseif( $form['id'] == '8' ) {
    $fname = rgar( $entry, '7' );
    $lname = rgar( $entry, '8' );
    $phone = rgar( $entry, '2' );
    $email = rgar( $entry, '3' );
    $redirect_url = rgar( $entry,'5');
    $goto = $redirect_url . '/?first_name=' . $fname . '&last_name=' . $lname . '&phone=' . $phone . '&email=' . $email;
    $confirmation =
                "<script>
                    /**
                    * Here you can simply change 137 to match your Popup ID #.
                    * The cookies settings will be determined the settings in the editor.
                    * Any trigger ( auto open, exit intent or scroll triggered ) that is
                    * Set to manual will have its cookie set using it's unique settings.
                    */
                    jQuery('#popmake-137').trigger('pumSetCookie');

                    /**
                    * Close the popup after a 2 second delay.
                    */
                    setTimeout(function () {
                    jQuery('#popmake-137').popmake('close');
                    }, 500) // one-half second
                    window.self.jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
                        window.self.jQuery(document).bind('gform_confirmation_loaded', function () {window.open('$goto{$entry['10']}');});
                    });
                </script>" . 'Thank you for completing the form.';
    }
    return $confirmation;
}

This is imperfect, however. Google is treating the resulting link as if it is a redirect and browsers (Firefox and Chrome) are blocking that transition to the form where the fields are supposed to be pre-poulated.

When the so-called popup from the constructed link is authorized in Firefox, the process completes and the form fields are properly pre-populated. Chrome doesn’t behave the same way. On a mobile (Android) device using Chrome, it just works.

Before I close this topic, I’d like to better understand why your plugin doesn’t see a form confirmation with merge tags as being a Gravity Forms Success on submit. You alluded to that in your email response but you didn’t fully explain the “why” of it.

Thanks for your reply, Daniel. I’m sorry it took me so long to find the email notification.

I’m afraid I’m not following your latest suggestion. Are you saying that I should add that script to the Gravity Forms Default Confirmation within the WordPress dashboard? Or, are you saying that I should update the script that I’ve already embedded in functions.php for the confirmation?

For the record, I tried a simple test of adding the script as a text confirmation to a duplicated form and it didn’t appear to work.

I hear you on holding out hope that Gravity Forms will respond. I opened a ticket with them near our around the time that I first put in a support request to you and it took them over a week to reply. Their reply simply asked me to restate what I had already told them.
