The postProcess hook "is invoked when a CiviCRM form is submitted", according to the documentation. My understanding is that a "form" in this context is (in Joomla) a profile that you can see from the front end, e.g. via the menu link, which you can then submit. In the sample code for how to use it there is a line:

Code: [Select]

if ($formName == 'CRM_Contract_Form_Contact') {

and something similar is done in the example code here: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,12431.0.html but with a different name.

How do I find out the name of a form? I know the name of the profile ("Contact Us") but that doesn't get me anywhere, and the example code seems to be testing for the specific profile by number later. So what is this test doing, and how do I find the name of the form that applies for the profile I'm applying it to?

Sorry if this is a really clueless question!
Thanks.

I guess go to the form and just print $formName in your hook. That should give you name of the form.
