Is it possible to output message on successful save with Guest Entries? I'm currently using the Guest Entries plugin with a front-end form to accept contact form submissions.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to output a message on a successful form being saved?

In an ideal world this might include the name of the submitter but failing that just a plain message informing the user that the form has been submitted.

(Previously I've been able to access the craft.request.getPost('name') but I don't think this works when using this plugin?

Thanks!
You could append a query string on your redirect url that you can then query for in your template. I've used this to display different messages for a new post or an edited post.

&lt;input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="my-photos?message=photo-added"&gt;

{% set message = craft.request.getQuery( 'message' ) %}

{% if message|length and message == 'photo-added' %}
  &lt;p&gt;Thank's for uploading your image&lt;/p&gt;
{% endif %}


To use fields from the saved entry you could use a plugin and watch for the entries.onSaveEntry event that will fire when using the Guest Entries plugin. 

craft()-&gt;on( 'entries.onSaveEntry', function( Event $event ){
  // Grab the entry from post request
  $entry = $event-&gt;params['entry'];

  // Add some conditionals so you only perform the redirect for the section you're posting to in the front end

  $name = $entry-&gt;getContent()-&gt;fieldName;

  // Render a template and pass the $name in
  //( not sure how to do this? )
});
