form action to external website (no ajax results needed)

Hi,

Sure – not via an option, but a small custom code snippet. This should do the trick:

add_filter('asp_redirect_url', 'custom_asp_redirect_url', 10, 1);
function custom_asp_redirect_url($url) {
	return "https://externalwebsite.com/search?q={phrase}";
}

Maybe that one will not work, I can’t recall if the javascript does validate agains the current domain. Maybe instead of the previous code, try this one:

add_action('wp_footer', 'asp_add_footer_script', 9999);
function asp_add_footer_script() {
	?>
	<script>
	(function($){
		WPD.Hooks.addFilter('asp_redirect_url', function(url, id, instance){
			return "https://externalwebsite.com/search?q=" + $('.asp_m_' + id + '_' + instance).find('input.orig').val();
		}, 10);
	}(WPD.dom));
	</script>
	<?php
}

It is a bit more complicated, but it changes the URL right before the submission, so it should be more likely to work.
