Hi all,

I wanted to have an area on my front page where visitors would be able to provide their email address to subscribe to a newsletter. To do so, I've created a webform with only an email field and a "Subscribe" button, then I used a view to display it in a block on my front page.

On the webform edit page, I've set the redirection URL to my frontpage's nid. Thus when clicking on "Subscribe", visitors will stay on the front page.

Now, I'm looking for a way to display a confirmation message too. For the moment, although visitors stay on the front page, they don't get any feedback about the subscription they just made, they don't know if it was successful or not. How could I do this? On the webform edit page I can only set either a redirection URL or a confirmation message, but not both.

Thanks!

Use drupal_set_message in the "Additional Processing" field and leave your redirect in the "Confirmation message or redirect URL" field. Or you can set both in the Additional Processing field using drupal_set_message for the confirmation message and $node->webform['confirmation'] for the redirect.

Thanks for your help. It appears that in latest releases of weform.module one can choose to generate a block, without having to create a custom view. And if one is only displaying a confirmation message (prefixed by "message:"), one stays on the same page without being redirected, which is perfect.
