Pete – I would set up a redirect pagetype to be called “Donate” – that way you’ll get a link that says “Donate” in your topnav, but it’ll direct the user anywhere you want it to.

Tony – that default login page is not editable but shouldn’t be used as your default/go-to signup page; I’d highly recommend making another signup page and directing users there.

Kamal – You should utilize the “subpage” tag for creating forms so that you can control the point people, tagging, followup, and redirect settings as you’re wanting to here. This technique is described here: http://nationbuilder.com/theme_documentation#display_content_from_one_page_on_another_page

I want to redirect immediately to another site when people hit the donate button. I will shut the redirect off when the election is called but for now it has to go to the Party’s donation page. How do I do this?

What about when we use the default signup+login page /login

That /login page is hosted by Nationbuilder, it does not show as a page in our system so we can not use the next page slug method.

That page’s content is in the theme so I can edit it. Is there a way to set the next page using liquid?

Thanks!
Tony

As an example for a followup to my question. My splash page is at: http://www.danbenishek.com/splash?splash=1#=

and no matter what I put into the “After signing up, what page should they land on next?” field on the signup page’s settings, the value of the hidden input field on the splash page for “return_to” is always “”http://www.danbenishek.com/splash">http://www.danbenishek.com/splash"

I have a splash page that will not change its redirect page to the one specified on the signup page. I added a signup form to the splash page, but it keeps sticking the url for the splash page into the “return_to” hidden input field.

Hi Elena,

We can talk on skype. My skyp ID is kamal.kafle.

hi kamal,

i updated the site so it works better for me. now I want to remove the signup from the front page and still let people login. so maybe a login button somewhere?

Do you want something similar to http://www.nidaforhouse.com/ GET EMAIL UPDATES section? The code I have provided you will generate the signup form with an email field and send auto response and redirect to the page you have defined in the join page settings. If this does not help you, then can you provide URL?

hi kamal, thanks!

I am not sure what you are suggesting I do. I want the signup button (which doesn’t even say email, it just has a blank text box) that is on the home page by default, to go to to my default join page, which I have set up the way I like, with a nice auto response and landing page after they sign up.

if i take the code you gave me and added it to the layout.html template , will that fix my problem? (the problem is that people who signup on from that button don’t get the auto response or see the landing page).

thanks!

Elena, you need to put the code to generate the signup form on your home page(maybe on layout.html).

For the redirection, put the slug in the setting for join page. This will use the same settings on the join page.

I would like to edit the flow for someone who signs up on the “signup” that is defaulted on the home page… i want it to have the same redirect and autoresponse as my “join” page. i can’t find the settings anywhere …i’m not so good with code. help?

Ray, our theme documentation also provides information on how to display content from one page to another. See specifically: http://nationbuilder.com/theme_documentation#display_content_from_one_page_on_another_page

Ended up answering my own question. I followed Richir’s method of embedding a form on an NB page here: http://www.richiroutreach.com/nationbuilder-theme-guide/embedding-nationbuilder-forms-other-nationbuilder-pages

For the actual snippet code, I ended up replacing the page’s copied code with the simplified code Kamal had. Worked like a charm.

I have a very similar question. I’m using the code Kamal mentioned below. However, I changed the “After signing up…” field for the “join” page and it’s still not working. After completing the form people stay on the splash page, not the “home” page where I want them to go. How do I change the redirect link for a custom form on a splash page?

Thank you for your response. There is one more question, can I add class to form created using {% form_for signup } ?

To make it more clear I have used

{% form_for signup }
<div class=“form_errors”>{ error_messages_for signup }</div>
<h2>Sign up for updates</h2>
{ text_field “email”, class:“text”, value:“Email Address” }
{ text_field “address.zip”, class:“zip”, value:“Zip Code” }
{ submit_tag "", class:“submit” }
<div class=“form_submit”></div>
{ endform_for %}

to generate a sign up form, it creates a hidden field return_to. I want to change the value of this field.

Thank you.
