Redirecting same form to different pages after successful submission

Question

I am creating a Website in WordPress using Contact Form 7. In my site I have several documents on different pages. In order to access those documents, first the user has to fill out a form and then he/she will receive a mail with a link to access that PDF.
My Question is - how can I redirect the form after successful submission to the original page and please remember that I have different pages and all of them are using the same form...

Answer 1

In Contact Form 7 below each form there would be an Additional Settings metabox. You could redirect the form to a particular page after successful submission by putting the following in the Additional Settings metabox.

on_sent_ok: "location = 'http://example.com/thank-you/';"

Answer 2

The way I do this on a few client sides is adding a Javascript function and referencing this in the settings metabox like this:

on_sent_ok: "wpcf7GotoSluggedUri('/my-base-url');"

And then I add this JS function to the themes_header. This could include any logic you want like history.back() to go to the page visited before or something based on the current URL like in the following example:

function wpcf7GotoSluggedUri(uri) {
    var cur_uri = document.location.pathname.split('/'),
    slug_array = new Array('slug-1', 'slug-2', 'slug-3');

    if( jQuery.inArray(cur_uri[1], slug_array) > -1 ) {
        document.location = '/' + cur_uri[1] + uri;
    }
}

You could also easily use this to pass a value generated in PHP:

function wpcf7GotoSluggedUri() {
    document.location = '<?php echo $theValueFromPHP; ?>';
}

But be aware that the whole "on_sent_ok" stuff only works on AJAX submit. If JS is disabled and the form is submitted via $_POST the redirect doesn't work.
