Hi

I am using two forms, when one form is submitted, I'm redirecting the user to another form to fill in, however on the second form confirmation page only one shortcode is showing rather than both shortcodes.

I do get two separate email confirmations for each of the form submissions which contain a PDF attachment to each form, I want to be show the shortcodes to both forms so the user can download each PDF directly from the confirmation page.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hello,

The issue arises because the 2nd submission has no relation to the 1st submission. As a result, E2Pdf cannot determine the ID of the 1st entry for which it should generate the PDF download URL. Additionally, as we know there are no 3rd-party plugins available to accomplish this task.

As an option, you can try passing the required data from one form to another using a URL / hidden fields and then use a separate E2Pdf template to generate data from those hidden fields. However, if you have a lot of fields, this may not be a viable option.

We have an idea on how to achieve this, but it would require some testing and updates on our side. Could you please clarify whether you simply need the PDF download URLs for both the 1st and 2nd form submissions to be displayed in the Success Message?

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

No it's not a necessity as I receive both forms as attachments within the emails

Thanks
