Hello all and sorry for bothering you. I am at my very begining with October CMS website developement. I've built a simple contact form taht works great, it validates fields and thow error if they are not ok. My embarassing problem is that I can't show a Success message when the email is sent and the visitors are kinf of confused.

So the contactForm.php file is:

 'Contact Form',
        'description' => 'Formular contact'
        ];
    }
    public function onSend () {
        $validator = Validator::make(
    [
        'name' => input::get('name'),
        'phone' => input::get('phone'),
        'content' => input::get('content'),
        'email' => input::get('email')
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'required|min:5',
        'phone' => 'required|digits_between:10,30',
        'content' => 'required|min:20',
        'email' => 'required|email'
    ]
    );

    if($validator->fails()) {
        //What happens if the validator fails
        return Redirect::back()->withErrors($validator);
    } else {
            // These variables are available inside the message as Twig
            $vars = ['name' => input::get('name'), 'email' => input::get('email'), 'company' => input::get('company'), 'phone' => input::get('phone'), 'content' => input::get('content')];
            Mail::send('plugin-author.contact::mail.message', $vars, function($message) {
                $message->to('the-recipient-email@email.email', 'For');
                $message->subject('Subject');
            });         
        }
    }
}

The errors are throw out in the components via:

{% for error in errors.all() %}

{% endfor %}

So here I would like to throw up a "You message has been sent succesfuly" message. Can anyone help me please? The form is submitted via ajax. Thank you in advance. Andrew.

In the HTML - else part:

 {% flash success %}
            <div class="alert alert-success mt-2">{{ message }}</div>
 {% endflash %}

In php section after Mail::send()

  Flash::success('Email sent successfully!');
  return Redirect::refresh();

Thanks for your answer. In the last 2 years since my question was posted, I managed to develop all the things I needed and got pretty good experience with October, including the problem mentioned in this thread.

All the best and have a very nice week!
