2 page question list with email in the middle?

sannisinas 08 Aug, 2008
Hi All,

does anybody know if I can do the following with your perfect product?🙂

I need to create a form where for example you have 10 questions, then you get an email that will direct you to the next 20 questions?
Of course all in the same database line.

Thanks in advance

Hi sannisinas,

Yes you can. Create the form, analyse the results in the OnSubmit before box and create the appropriate link to include in your email.

Thanks for you swift reply. I am a bit of a dummy🙂 Do I create 2 forms for this or can I just use one big one and split it ?

thanks again

Hi sannisinas,

Either will work. I'd probably do it in one form. The coding is just a little more complex but having everything in one place compensates for this in the long run.

Again thanks, I will create one form then, in your previous post you staded

analyse the results in the OnSubmit before box and create the appropriate link to include in your email.

Not sure how I can do this, can I find this in a tutorial or something?

Hi sannisinas,

There are no tutorials here on how to do this - though you may find some useful forum posts.

You do need to be comfortable with PHP + MySQL and html to do this. It's not difficult coding, but neither is it a simple task for a beginner.

Hi, yes you can as Bob said, but currently to achieve this, you need to create your email after the record is stored and get the record id and build the Email manually so the user reaches to his own record again (or may be you can do it for logged in users and this should be easier), however, in the next Chronoforms release I will make this easier through 1 new multi page forms feature and enhanced database record creation code!

Cheers
