zanderwar/silverstripe-thankfully

A module designed to reduce the potentially thousands of Thank You pages that can be sometimes needed for large sites

silverstripe-thankfully

If you're tired of having to continuously create dozens of different "Thank You" pages than thankfully this module exists!, _(*1)

With this module you can easily create a "Thank You" page that is configurable in the CMS for any page type that you assign this module to., _(*2)

Features

• Page creates itself under the parent on dev/build
• Query string support for conversion tracking etc, configurable from the CMS

Installation

Installation is supported via composer only:, _(*3)

$ composer require zanderwar/silverstripe-thankfully ~2.0

Run a dev/build afterwards, _(*4)

Configuration

1. Open your mysite/_config.php file
2. Add: php ContactPage::add_extension('ThankfullyExtension'); ContactPage::add_extension('ThankfullyControllerExtension');
3. Run a ?flush=1
4. Open the page that has ContactPage (in this example) as the type within the CMS and you will now see a "Thank You" tab

In your controller (in this example ContactPage_Controller) you now have access to the method $this->getThankYouPage() which you can then immediately return $this->redirect($this->getThankYouPage()->Link()). This would most commonly be done in a form processing method, _(*5)

If the page title and/or content is not set in the page with the extension, it will fallback to the values set in the Thank You (Generic) that the dev/build created in the root of your site tree, if no defaults are configured, then the visitor will get a bit of an ugly experience, _(*6)

Example

class ExamplePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

    private static $allowed_actions = array(
        'index'
    );

    public function index()
    {
        /** @var ThankfullyPage $thankYou */
        $thankYou = $this->getThankYouPage();
        $thankYou->setAllowed(true); // Required if "Always Allowed" is disabled in the CMS
        $thankYou->setReturnTo('/home/'); // Optional, if not provided the link to the parent page will be used

        return $this->redirect($thankYou->Link());
    }
}
