If Known Visitor, Hide Form

Most pages on my site I won't want forms. There are some more valuable pieces of content I want to put behind forms, but I don't want to make people submit 20 forms to read my 20 best articles.

I don't really like the if known show custom HTML functionality in forms 2.0 either. Is there a way to hide the form and custom HTML if I get a known visitor? Munchkin already tracks page visits for known visitors, so I'd like to hide the form.

Anybody else feel this pain and solve it?

Hi everyone!

Further to this I'm using pop up forms on a  guided template, and I want to do a  similar thing with those forms, so when it's a know visitor the form doesn't show, it just goes directly to the asset.

Can anyone help?  I tried using this code:

<script>

  document.body.className += ' knownLead';

</script>

Then add Custom CSS to the form:

.knownLead .mktoModal {

  display: none;

}

But it doesn't work.

My test landing page is here:

Thanks

In your case the modal uses a different DOM structure (created by the bPopup plugin).

This CSS will hide the form and modal wrapper (together with the Known Lead HTML above, of course).

.knownLead .b-modal.__b-popup1__, .knownLead .mktoForm {

    display: none !important;

}

But I think your goal is slightly different because you don't want to only hide the form, you want to let the person download immediately.  Which means your Known Lead HTML <script> block should probably end with

document.location.href="go.cornerstoneondemand.com/your.pdf";

Hi Eric,

I'm trying to understand your use case to see if it is similar to mine. Pretty much, if I have a known visitor, I want them to be able to get to the gated content, without the gate. What did this custom HTML do for you?

The custom HTML (and CSS) ensures that that the act of showing the Known Lead HTML in turn hides the entire form.

Rereading the original thread, I see I was thinking of a very different situation. Thanks Kenny!

    Hi Eric,

    Takehiro's answer is definitely the simplest. Alternatively, you could use example #1 at our developer documentation:

    Forms 2.0 » Marketo Developers

    and add this in an HTML block on the page:

    <script>

    MktoForms2.whenReady(function (form) {

     

       // Add an onSuccess handler

      form.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl) {

       // Get the form's jQuery element and hide it

      form.getFormElem().hide();

       // Return false to prevent the submission handler from taking the lead to the follow up url

       return false;

       });

    });

    </script>

    This example only applies upon successful submission.  There's a few ways to do it with the API, but Takehiro's is the most elegant one.
