Title: Write Hook on successful post Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Write Hook on successful post * Resolved [jstaten@1on1.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstaten1on1com/) * (@jstaten1on1com) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/write-hook-on-successful-post/) * Love the 3rd Party Integration Plugin. Seems to work good. * I notice in the debug email that there is an array returned with the link supplied from the site I submitted to. * I am being asked to send the client browser to the URL returned in the link instance of the array. * I have been trying to write a hook to do this on success, but it seems that my hook is ignored. I am editing the theme’s function.php file for this. Should I be editing a different file instead? * I suspect that this is a very easy task, but being as the only hooks I have ever written are for gravity forms, I am a bit unsure of where to begin for your plugin. * Below is the text of my hook in the theme’s function.php file. At this point, I am just trying to get it to display somewhere, someplace the variables it has at its disposal. Once I get that figured, I imagine that I can write the necessary goodness to do what I need. * add_action(‘Forms3rdPartyIntegration_service’, array(&$this, ‘redirect_success’), 10, 2); function redirect_success($body,$refs) { //$path = $_GET[“path”]; var_dump( get_defined_vars()); //header(“Location: [http://www.uptimemadeeasy.com/”](http://www.uptimemadeeasy.com/”););} * And Below is the response array from the debug email after a successful post: * *** Response *** Array ( [headers] => Array ( [server] => nginx/1.4.2 [date] => Tue, 13 Jan 2015 21:35:15 GMT [content-type] => text/html; charset=utf-8 [ x-powered-by] => PHP/5.5.1 [expires] => Sun, 19 Nov 1978 05:00:00 GMT [last-modified] => Tue, 13 Jan 2015 21:35:15 +0000 [cache-control] => no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 [etag] => “1421184915” [content-language] => en [x- generator] => Drupal 7 ([http://drupal.org](http://drupal.org)) [link] => <[http://www.success.com/node/7622>](http://www.success.com/node/7622>);; rel=”canonical”,<[http://www.success.com/sites/default/files/favicon_0.png>](http://www.success.com/sites/default/files/favicon_0.png>);; rel=”image_src”,<[http://www.success.com/node/7622>](http://www.success.com/node/7622>);; rel=”shortlink” [connection] => close [via] => 1.1 ID-0002262046133470 uproxy- 4 ) * Can you give me a bit of direction? * Thank you! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/forms-3rdparty-integration/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forms-3rdparty-integration/) Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) * Plugin Author [zaus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zaus/) * (@zaus) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/write-hook-on-successful-post/#post-5668689) * You can write hooks pretty much anywhere; the `functions.php` file is generally the easiest place to start, which is why most tutorials mention it. You could even write your own plugin to contain the hooks. * As a side note, if you’re looking for where to hook in Forms-3rdparty, search the main plugin file for instances of `apply_filters` or `do_action`. I’ve listed the main ones on the “Other Notes” section – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/forms-3rdparty-integration/other_notes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forms-3rdparty-integration/other_notes/) * I’m not sure why your hook isn’t happening — I did notice that you’re using ` array(&$this, 'fn_name')` as the hook delegate, which will only work if it’s declared within a class. If you’re just referring to a standalone function, just use the function name (but be careful of namespace collisions, so give your function a more unique name). * You may also want to hook to `Forms3rdPartyIntegration_remote_success` instead, which will let you modify the `$form` itself. I suspect you might need this to effect a Gravity Forms redirect. You could “cheat” and try to use your hook to set the `$results['message']` to include a javascript redirect instead; I’m not sure if anything has been written to output by the time my hooks occur (which would prevent the `header('....')` redirect you’re attempting. * Thread Starter [jstaten@1on1.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstaten1on1com/) * (@jstaten1on1com) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/write-hook-on-successful-post/#post-5668828) * [@zaus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zaus/) – Thanks for the help. * I ended up following through your plugin file and found that the hooks I was writing were not being fired because of this line in the forms-3rdparty-integration. php file: * elseif(!$response || !isset($response[‘response’]) || !isset($response[‘response’][‘ code’]) || 200 != $response[‘response’][‘code’]) * What was happening was that the server I post to gives back the URL as well as a 302 code instead of 200. When I change the 200 to 302, it suddenly begins to fire the Forms3rdPartyIntegration_remote_success hooks and life is happy. * At this point, I will see if I can change the response from the posting server, or perhaps leave my change permanently. * Thank you for your help! * Thread Starter [jstaten@1on1.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstaten1on1com/) * (@jstaten1on1com) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/write-hook-on-successful-post/#post-5668829) * marking as resolved.
