How to display a simple "Thanks" message on completion of a Sites-based feedback form

Hi

I'm completely new to force.com Sites and VF 

This is my first attempt. I used easypage to generate the VF.

I'm in a prelive sandbox at present.

http://cambridge.prelive.cs13.force.com/AcademicFeedback/a1fW000000006RO

On clicking "Save" it displays the "Authorisation required" page!

It does create the feedback record fine, which is cool!

 

I'd like it to show a simple "Thanks for your feedback" message.

Any idea how you do this?

 

<apex:page standardController="Academic_Customer_Feedback__c" standardStylesheets="{!if($CurrentPage.parameters.css == 'std',true,false)}" showHeader="{!if($CurrentPage.parameters.css == 'std',true,false)}" >
        <apex:sectionHeader title="{!$ObjectType.Academic_Customer_Feedback__c.label} Edit" subtitle="New {!$ObjectType.Academic_Customer_Feedback__c.name}"/>

The standard controller save will take you to the view page of the newly created record by default, and you'll need authorization for that.  To work around this, simply create an extension controller that invokes the standard controller save and then redirects to a thanks visualforce page instead of the standard view.

 

Something like:

 

public class FeedbackExt
{
   private ApexPages.StandardController stdCtrl;

   public FeedbackExt(ApexPages.StandardController std)
   {
      stdCtrl=std;
   }

   public PageReference save()
   {
      stdCtrl.save();
      return Page.thanks;
   }
}

 You'll need to create a VF page named 'thanks' and change your main page markup to add the extension controller:

 

<apex:page standardController="Academic_Customer_Feedback__c" 
extensions="FeedbackExt" standardStylesheets="{!if($CurrentPage.parameters.css == 'std',true,false)}" showHeader="{!if($CurrentPage.parameters.css == 'std',true,false)}" >

Perfect solution. Many thanks bob_buzzard.

It is just worth noting that I needed to add the thanks page to site pages list for it to work.
