Hello,

I have a langing page with a form that uses in it's action attribute a form handler url from an external API. The API takes the form fields values and redirects the user on another "Thank you" page on the same site.

I added a new text field to the LandingPageForm.php class to store the value of the "form handler url". I'm trying to call it from the form template in action attribute with <% control LandingPageForm %>$FormHandlerURL<% end_control %>, but this didn't show any value. This is the code I have:

LandingPageForm.php

class LandingPageForm extends Page
{
	static $db = array(
		'FormHandlerURL' => 'Text' // the form handler URL
	);

	function getCMSFields() 
	{
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new TextField('FormHandlerURL', 'Form handler URL'));
		
		return $fields;	
	}

}

class LandingPageForm_Controller extends Page_Controller
{	
	static $allowed_actions = array(
		'LandingPageForm'
	);
	
	//The function which generates our form
	function LandingPageForm() 
	{
      	// Create fields
	    $fields = new FieldSet(
		    new TextField('FirstName', 'First Name'),
		    new TextField('LastName', 'Last Name'),
		    new EmailField('Email', 'Email')
		);
	 	
	    // Create action
	    $actions = new FieldSet(
	    	new FormAction('SendLandingPageForm', 'Send me an intro package')
	    );
		
		// Create action
		$validator = new RequiredFields('FirstName', 'LastName', 'Email');
	  
	    $form = new Form($this, 'LandingPageForm', $fields, $actions, $validator);
	    $form->setTemplate('LandingForm');
	    return $form;
	}
 	
	function SendLandingPageForm($data, $form) {
	 	....
	}

}

landingForm.ss

<form id="Form_LandingPageForm" action="<% control LandingPageForm %>$FormHandlerURL<% end_control %>" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

	<% if Message %> 
	<p id="{$FormName}_error" class="message $MessageType">$Message</p> 
	<% else %> 
	<p id="{$FormName}_error" class="message $MessageType" style="display: none;"></p> 
	<% end_if %>

<fieldset>
			<label class="left" for="Form_LandingPageForm_FirstName">First Name</label>
			<input type="text" class="text" id="Form_LandingPageForm_FirstName" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name *" value="">
		
			<label class="left" for="Form_LandingPageForm_LastName">Last Name</label>
			<input type="text" class="text" id="Form_LandingPageForm_LastName" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name *" value="">
		
			<label class="left" for="Form_LandingPageForm_Email">Email</label>
			<input type="text" class="text" id="Form_LandingPageForm_Email" placeholder="Email *" name="email" value="">
		
			<input class="hidden nolabel" type="hidden" id="Form_LandingPageForm_SecurityID" name="SecurityID" value="911284708">
		
		<div class="clear"><!-- --></div>
	</fieldset>
	
	<% if Actions %> 
	<div class="Actions"> 
		<% control Actions %> 
			$Field 
		<% end_control %>
	</div> 
	<% end_if %>
	
	<p class="notice">We will never share your private information.</p>
	
</form>

I appreciate you help, thanks.

Try <% control Controller %>$FormHandlerURL<% end_control %> as that will change your scope to the controller (where your FormHandlerURL variable is.

Thanks it's working now..
