May we use Yii flash messages on this scenario?

I haven't seen this scenario covered here: Yii Framework: How to work with Flash Messages.

So, after user registration, I wish to redirect the user to a thank you page where he/she could read more about what he/she should do, and what would happen next. It's a nice amount of information, so adding that message to an already existing page is not an option, because it would get to noisy. Making temporary displaying msg isn't an option neither, because it's a fair amount of text to be read.

On cases like this:

  1. Should we still use flash messages and use a conditional so that what normally exists on the page stays hidden while display a success flash message ?

    OR

  2. Should we simply redirect to a given thank you view (by creating the respective thankyou action?)

Is there a better option?

You could use a flash message. But these are really for things like "Your account is now created".

If you want to include a good amount of information, I think it best to have a separate thankyou action/view that people are redirected to after the sign up process is complete.
