Sessions for next pages of a form

Ron 07 Oct, 2020
Hello,

I would like to know if I have to add a sessions variable of every additional page I have on a form ? I do not get an email populated with form data on additional pages in Action area. I get an empty email if it is located on the next page of a form.
I was told by Max in one of my threads as follows.

use v7, it has a multi page enabled by default, which means that the data entered on the first page will be retained until the form is finished!


Please help

The email should be on the last page (usually), and it will have the data of fields from all pages, this does not work for you ? if yes then please share a link of your form backup file!

I have been working with V5 without any problems. I have staged sending emails at every page with a time gap and I have no problem with it.
I am trying to do the same in V7 but it doesn't work.

I created an advanced form with 3 pages, then I added an email action to the 2nd page, tested the form, the email is sent on the 2nd page without any issues!

Hello Max.

The problem starts after the third page. So I said put the email action on 3rd. Or fourth page.
Also I feel there is a bug in V7. Multipage form does not go above two pages..

create a new form, add one more page, add fields to the first 2 pages, save, test the form, how does it work ?

Thanks for the reply Max,
I did that. I created a new advance form which had two pages, I added one more but the last page becomes non-existent. The form does not go there. Multi-page form in V7 understands only two pages. This is what I have come to know.

Hello Max,
I am attaching a basic form. Please see if it works for you. It does not work for me.[file=13540]test-form_ronn.cf7bak[/file]

works fine, the 2nd page does not have any fields, so the user can not progress to page 3, you should fix that!

Thanks Max.

I will add some html. Graphics. Hope it works then. But I would like to point out that I have been working on V5 with multipage with no fields after first page but actions on multiple pages and it works great. So what is the problem with V7 ?
Max_admin 22 Nov, 2020
v7 is not identical to v5, I'm not sure how your v5 form was setup, but any page should have at least a button to progress to the next one!

thanks for your reply

I add a redirect function to the next page. But it does not work. In V5 it works but not in V7.
Ron 23 Nov, 2020
Hello Max.
I have worked with V4 than V5 then V6… I have faced minor problems but at the end was successful. I feel V7 has serious flaws and need a relook at its code. Either it is heavily JS coded or similar. But I fail to understand why it does not work.. I add html to every page. Added redirect to next page everything seems to fail.

I just need to know how many forum members are able to work with V7 multipage forms more than 3 pages smoothly ? Till RC 1 it worked fine but not now. It is sad that I am unable to do what I did in V6.

Please attach your new form, maybe there is something misconfigured!
