Form message not displaying after submission

Support Forms & Blueprints
1

I have read the docs for forms and cannot seem to get this to work. I feel like there are some gaps in the docs as I don’t feel like I have the big picture about how the forms plugins / templates are working behind the scenes after submission.

My form is a modular template as I am using it twice on the website. It is submitting and saving the text file but not displaying the thank you message.

I have tried removing the form action, moving the form into form.md, directly referencing the form-messages.html.twig in template, adding reset to the yaml, etc. Can’t seem to figure it out.

I’m guessing here, based on what has worked for me… I think you need to set a display: option in your process:. For example, this is the relevant part of a contact form that works for me:

process:
    -
        email:
            subject: 'bla bla'
            body: "{% include 'forms/data.html.twig' %}"
            from: 'something@other.net'
            to: 'something@other.net'
    -
        message: 'Thank you for your message, we will get back to you soon.'
    -
        display: thankyou

Then I have a thankyou subfolder in the contact form’s folder which contains a file called formdata.md, it looks like this:

---
title: Your message has been sent
cache_enable: false
process:
    twig: true
---

## Your message has been sent

Underneath this my message gets displayed as I defined it in the form.md file. Hope this helps!

Thank you for the response, I will give this a try this afternoon and advise whether it worked or not.

Your response was correct but not the reason the form was not working. I found out after much troubleshooting that the issue is with multiple language support being enabled for my website. I have to support english/french and that is causing problems with the form submission/redirects.

I discovered this issue created in github a couple of years ago which describes the issue I have been having perfectly.

PROBLEM: The forms do not redirect to the correct page when multiple languages are enabled. They attempt to route to the page without the language as part of the URL.

SOLUTION: You must include the ‘/en/’ (whatever language you are supporting) as part of the form action and do this for every form / language.

WORKING EXAMPLE.
