[WordPress] Need Solution to Problem

kzonlertsgo · Oct 24, 2011

Hey guys I've ran a couple blogs using wordpress so I have a pretty good idea of how everything works, but I need help with this.

I am making a new site with a content locked email submission, where people can enter to have a chance at winning something. I found great plugins for the email submission and content locking, but once the page is unlocked, people can keep using the email submission.

What can I do to create a "Thanks for Entering" page/message, and then send them back to the homepage after submitting their email? Keep in mind I need to be able to collect these email addresses to choose a winner.

Thanks in advance.

Your "thank you" page could have code like this on it:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Thank for your vote</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
/* set your parameters(
number to countdown from,
pause between counts in milliseconds,
function to execute when finished
)
*/
startCountDown(6, 1000, myFunction);
}
function startCountDown(i, p, f) {
// store parameters
var pause = p;
var fn = f;
// make reference to div
var countDownObj = document.getElementById("countDown");
if (countDownObj == null) {
// error
alert("div not found, check your id");
// bail
return;
}
countDownObj.count = function(i) {
// write out count
countDownObj.innerHTML = i;
if (i == 0) {
// execute function
fn();
// stop
return;
}
setTimeout(function() {
// repeat
countDownObj.count(i - 1);
},
pause
);
}
// set it going
countDownObj.count(i);
}
function myFunction() {
window.location = "the url you're redirecting them to goes here"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="thank-message">
<h1>Thanks for your vote!</h1>
<p style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.3em;">please wait <span id="countDown" style="color:#FF0000">6</span> seconds as we count your vote and re-direct you to blah blah blah...</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

That's some code I recieved as part of a PDF eCourse. You'll have to decipher it yourself, but it basically shows your visitor a message, then counts down, then redirects them to a page of your choice. You can probably use this somehow, if nobody has a better suggestion.
