Hi there,

As part of our event registration process, we'd like to ask registrants an extra set of optional questions (e.g. equal opportunities/demographic info) after they've completed the main event signup and completed payment. We don't want to include these questions in the main signup process, as it would make the registration form too long and deter potential registrants.

I was wondering if there was a way of embedding, or linking to an additional profile form within the 'thank you' screen? As far as I can see, there are two main ways of doing this, neither of which have been successful for me. If anyone can suggest an alternative method or possible workarounds, then I'd be massively grateful:

1) pasting the html for a standalone profile form in the text displayed on for the 'thank you' page. - seems to either cause the server to timeout, or display a message indicating an attempted security breach- is it possible to manually insert this code into the database?

2) including a token/checksum link to a profile containing the optional questions in the 'thank you page'- thank you page doesn't seem to process the tokens, and so the link remains as http://------------/standalone/index.php?q=civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=7&id={contact.contact_id}&{contact.checksum}

Any help on this I'd be hugely grateful for- thanks!
