I'm using query string variable with Dynamic Forms for the first time. I have created a form with four fields (set to retrieve value from query string variable) that accepts a value from a query string.

The query string works fine (the form loads and the fields populate) if the user is already logged in. I have been testing by entering the URL in the browser address field.

If the user is not logged in, the login page loads first, I log the user in, but the URL changes from the query string  to www.mywebsite.com/home.aspx and the form does not load because it loads the home.aspx page instead. I've tried searching the forum for an answer but can't seem to find one. Can you help me understand what I am doing wrong or what I need to do differently? Thanks.

I probably should have been more clear. The problem is that this dynamic form is used to collect data from a user with a particular role - the form is not available to anonymous users. The intent is to have a user with a 'account rep' role email a URL to a user that has a 'different' role so that the 'different' role could click the URL link and the form would load with some values supplied by the 'account rep' role via the query string.  Surely there must be a way to pass values to a form pending successful login and once the user logs in to continue loading the form and populate the fields? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think I must be missing something still. If the user is logged in, http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name works just fine.

If the user is not logged in and I try http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name&ctl=login I get the login page but once the user logs in, the form (tab 77) does not load. It still loads the home.aspx page. Anyway, even if i try http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mywebsite.com/default.aspx?t...ield1=name (and don't include the &ctl=login) I still get the login page displayed.

What am I missing? Thanks.

David, I really appreciate the continued support effort. I have tested other products that were very promising but the support was not there. I continue to be impressed with the support I receive from Data Springs.

With that being said, I am making progress. You are correct, I was redirecting after login. Not in DNN but with Dynamic Login. I had previously noticed that in D.L. General Settings, the Defaul Redirect Link was set to Page (Home). But, I did not see a way to 'turn this off.' I tried selecting the URL radio button thinking that if I did not enter a URL, maybe D.L would ignore the setting. But, I learned that it did not save the setting if there was not a URL entered. So, the resolution so far was to select Override user and role redirection rules ....

I entered the query string ending with &ctl=login. When I did, the login page was loaded and that was it. When I entered the query string without &ctl=login, everything appeared to work fine as the user was not already logged in, the query string 'changed' to include a redirect and once the user logged on the query string loaded the correct page and the fields were properly populated.

Although my 'problem' seems to be corrected, I was wondering if I solved it the 'correct' way? Should I have stopped the redirection to the Home page a different way or was this the 'correct' way. (It works but I want to make sure I didn't fix this and 'break' something else because I am not well versed in using D.L.). Thanks in advance for your reply and continued support.

David, I've been trying to change it to URL. I change it and select Save Settings. When I do, it appears to have changed because I get a repost back to the server but everytime I exit the module and go back in and check the module configuration it keeps changing back to Page (on your site). The URL field shows 'http://'. Should I delete it or change it to something else? 

Okay, I will leave the 'http://' as is. I understand.

However, my problem is that when I change to radio button to 'URL', click on 'Save Settings', 'Exit' the module and go back into 'Module Configuration', the radio button is set back to 'Page' (on my site).  Is this normal? Shouldn't the radio button still be set on 'URL'? Thanks for spending so much time on this.

DNN version 05.01.03 (25) & Dynamic Login version 3.10.20.

I ended up saving the login template and deleting the existing Dynamic Login module. After deleting the Dynamic Login module, I first tested using the DNN (standard) Login module using mywebsite/default.aspx?Tabid=77&field1=value as the test string. It worked just fine. 

I added the Dynamic Login module back and only changed the template (to match the one I saved) and I checked 'Allow user to login using email address.' I tested the same URL and although the login page displays first and the URL shows '....returnurl...' once the user logins the URL changes to mywebsite/home.aspx and the home.aspx page loads.

Yes - Override user and role redirection rules and always redirect to previous URL:" is unchecked.
 

I have three roles (bus, iar, mbr) besides the admin and host.

David, I did as you asked but got the same results.

However, I think I may be on to something. I am also using Dynamic Registration (notice the trend here? :-] ).

In Dynamic Registration, I have set Redirect Page After Registration, Redirect Page After Update, and Redirect Page After Cancel all to Page (Home). I was able to change ...After Update and ....After Cancel from Page to URL. However, I have not been able to change Redirect After Registration from Page to URL as evertime I change it to from Page to URL, save the change, exit and go back into D.R. Module Configuration it still shows Redirect Page After Registration = Page (Home). This was the same thing the D.L. page was doing - it would not let me change the value from Page to URL. I ended up deleting the D.L. module and reinstalling it as the configuration was mostly just setting up the login template. So, it wasn't a lot of work. I really hate to delete and rebuild the D.R. module. I know I can to export/import but it seems like (some of) the events don't always import correctly and I would have to go back and fully test all of the registration process to ensure they all still worked as intended.

In any case, is there another way (maybe by updating a D.R. data file on the server?) that I could change this value (from Page to URL) so the module will 'hold' the new value? Thanks. 

David, I have sent the contact us form. I need to step out for a while. Please make yourself at home. Thanks for your assistance.
