    Contour Send to Path - Using XPath always assigns Content Node

    Hi

    (Umbraco 7.2.2 Contour 3.0.24)

    I would like my form to go to a sibling(identified by the document type alias) of the page that it is rendered on. I am trying to use the XPath functionality as this should be the ideal solution. However when I try to set my XPath here it always assigns the Root content node as the Page aka node id -1. If I run the form it will stay on the form's page and display the thank you message text. 

    I have tried the XPath example/solutions in this post https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-pro/contour/17172-Submiting-the-form-XPATH-example with no luck.

    My Node Sturcture:

    Parent

    -- Sub Page

    -------- Form Page

    -------- Thank You Page

    --- Sub Page 2

    -------- Form Page

    -------- Thank You Page

    Thanks in advance

    Nope, not yet. I ended up creating a node that redirects you to the correct page and setting that node as the one that the form goes to. So I am basically getting the page it was submitting on from the record entry and then finding the sibling node of that page that is the document type that I want.

    Hi Dee & Bob,

    If I understand Tim correctly from his answer to the page you mention, the XPath should end up selecting the id of the page to show.

    In your case you should be able to use something like this:

    $currentPage/../DOCTYPE_ALIAS/@id

    Assuming $currentPage is the Form page, and there's only one node of the DOCTYPE_ALIAS kind as a sibling of the Form page (?)

    Let me know if it works,

    Hey Bob,

    Sounds a lot like it's getting an empty string instead of an Id - probable causes:

    1. BasicPage is not really the alias
    2. There are more than one BasicPage pages as the Form page's siblings
    3. The BasicPage is not published

    (To fix #2 you'd put a predicate on, to select the first, e.g.: $currentPage/../BasicPage[1]/@id)

    Keep at it—I haven't used it myself yet, so poking a little in the blind still :-)

    yeah, i am an idiot... it works... 

    $currentPage/BasicPage[1]/@id

    I added the [1] just to be safe... of course, i have a multi-site impementation and was testing in the wrong site... eef.
