Close Lightbox on Custom Form Submit

Question

I am using form Api to create a custom form. My form is below.

function myform_form() {
  $form = array();
  $form['name'] = array(
    '#type'          => 'textfield',
    '#title'         => t(''),
    '#required'      => FALSE,
    '#weight'        => 2,
  );
   $form['telephone'] = array(
    '#type'          => 'textfield',
    '#title'         => t(''),
    '#weight' => 3,
    );
     $form['submit'] = array(
      '#type' => 'submit',
      '#value' => t('submit'),
     );
  return $form;
}

function myform_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  drupal_set_message(t('Your form has been submitted successfully.'));
  $form_state['redirect'] = 'thankyou';
}

I used to show this form in lightbox as this :

<a href="/myform" rel="lightframe"> Form </a>

Form is correctly showing in lighbox. But when i submit the form it opens the thankyou page in popup.

I used

<a href="/myform" rel="lightmodal"> Form </a>

It closes the popup event if form validation returns false. I don't want to close the popup if there is any validation error. I added this to myform_submit function :

parent.Lightbox.end();

But drupal_add_js is not working in myform_submit function.

Updated :

I send a parameter to thank you page and added this on the page load.

<?php if($_GET['redirect']) { ?>
  <script> 
      window.parent.location = "quick_request_quote";
  </script>
<?php } ?>

Its redirecting but it shows content in popup for few seconds and redirect after that. I don't want to display popup for a second also after submitting the form.

Answer 1

Solved this by creating a Menu showing processing message and redirect it using :

      window.parent.location = "thankyoupage";

  • Where contrib is the folder where I keep all my contributed modules.
