Hello.
I am working on a little addition to the Actinic package but have run into a stumbling block.
Basically, the add-on will allow you to put two fields enclosed in a box wherever you like on your site. Or that's the plan, anyway.
The fields will be for your name and e-mail address.
Yes, this is a custom newsletter sign-up feature, with details stored in a mysql database and can be downloaded into a CSV format - perfect for mailing list software. I need/want the software for our own site so am going to document the how-to on the forum when it's ready, but I need a little help first.
You enter your username/email and click submit. This submits the details to a php file which handles the data.
What I am looking to do is have this page created in actinic (use the details tab to change the file from whatever.html to whatever.php - this works ok).
But when the Submit button is hit, I land on whatever.php - I need this page to use the 'bounce back' feature. Ie. I want whatever.php to bounce back after X number of seconds to the page you submitted from (similar to when you add a product to the cart, or search for a non-existent product)
Hope that makes sense so far.
I need to add the bounce-back code to this custom page. I've put the 'Bounce Page Bulk Area' into a specific fragment layout, and used this fragment on whatever.php - but it doesn't bounce.
Do I need to set something else up to get the bounce back to work?
Thanks,
Grant

Though I suspect once I've got this ready some master of php/mysql/actinic will come along and say "you know you've cut a short story long"...
