I have been using PG for years, but now need to set up a group using a the GUI template. It all works, but there is one annoyance......
After the user sends the page, he is sent to the standard webgate.rsp page in the CGI directory. However, he needs to go back to his GUI page instead.
I found an old post that talks about putting the webgate.rsp in the user/group directory, but it still uses the one in the CGI directory.
Any ideas?

Probably the easiest thing to do is use another hidden variable in the webpage's FORM code, that is set to the name of the webpage you want the user directed to.
Here is some additional information about the webgate.exe program and some of its options:
| Code: |
$Id: README,v 1.2.2.4 2000/04/09 17:10:20 housley Exp $
Some definitions:
$ROOT the web page root directory
$CGI-BIN the directory where CGIs are stored
RESPONSE MESSAGE FILES
======================
Upon successful completion of a page, ie. there was a message, to user and
from name and no other errors. The response message is searched for in this
order.
1) If a field RESPONSE_FILE is found in the document and the filename
specified can be successfully opened it is used.
a) If the file name starts with ~/ then the path to the file
is assumed to be relative to the directory the users
documents resides in. ie. HTTP_REFERER
b) Otherwise it is assumed to be a path relative to $CGI-BIN .
2) If a file named webgate.rsp exists in $ROOT and it can be
successfully opened it is used.
3) If a file named webgate.rsp exists in $CGI-BIN and it can be
successfully opened it is used.
VALID USER LIST FILES
=====================
1) If a field VALIDLIST_FILE is found in the document and the filename
specified can be successfully opened it is used.
a) If the file name starts with ~/ then the path to the file
is assumed to be relative to the directory the users
documents resides in.
b) Otherwise it is assumed to be a path relative to $CGI-BIN .
2) If a file named webgate.usr exists in $CGI-BIN and it can be
successfully opened it is used.
FIELDS AND VARIABLES
====================
This the current list of supported/used fields. Some of these can
come from multiple sources. The source is indicated by (S) for server

If this field exists the message is only sent to the Email
mailbox and not to the pager.

This is who the message is being sent to. There can be
multiple users for a single page. Additional users are
separated by either a space, comma or semi-colon. Multiple
USER fields can exist on a single page.
Also supports "Full Name" format. That is the full name
followed by the user name in parens.
ie. John Smith (jsmith2)
FRM - (W) *
Who the message is from. This can be almost anything.
MSG - (W) *
The actual message. This is free-form text. Size is only
limited by memory constraints of the system and the pager.
SUBJECT - (W)
This optional field can be used to make the message format
more similar to standard Email messages.

followed by the user name in parens.
ie. John Smith (jsmith2)
AUX1 - (W)
