Understanding Multiple Page Forms

Hi Guys!
I have a very simple form that contains 5 fields...one of which is hidden. I wish to pass that information to another form which will take the information from the previous form and do two things with it. One...it will automatically submit the information to an external source and Two...it will autopopulate the next form which will then need to be submitted to a different external source. I have uploaded a flow chart to indicate what I am looking to do. I have used this component in the past but it was only for simple things. I'm sure this can happen somehow. I'm not a programmer so I beg of you...please keep it simple. LOL!!

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Cheers

Hi PageMasterRWS,

You can probably do this all with one form, there's no extra user input so process it all in the OnSubmit code using Max's CURL code to submit the forms. That way you have all the data and don't need to mess around with hidden fields and passing data from one form to the next.

Thanks so much for you very quick response! Awesome job!

I am autogenerating a random number then assigning it a phone number to be submitted to an SMS api then autopopulating the information for the next form. If I can still use this using Max's CURL code then great! I have not seen this code however if you point me in the right direction I will use this to accomplish my goals.

Again, thanks so much!

Hi PageMasterRWS,

Please see this thread. This does one form submission, I'm not sure if the PlugIn can be used twice, probably not, but you can probably lift the code and re-use that.

Bob

Gotcha! I read it. I guess the problem now is that I'm using Joomla 1.0. I tried installing the CURL but didn't work. Is there a solution for those of us still on 1.0?

Thanks!

Hi PageMasterRWS,

No the PlugIn won't work with the Joomla 1.0.x version of ChronoForms (upgrade to J1.5!!)

You can make use of the code idea though and probably use some of the code. You are into a little hand-developed application here.

Bob

Okay...I upgraded to 1.5. I also installed the CURL plugin but it has an issue. When I follow the instructions according to the post you gave I don't get any fields displayed. It's when I select the form I am working on then click CURL. The tabs come up but no field boxes. Only the one for CURL params. Nothing shows up for the General or Extra tabs. Is this a commom problem? How do I fix?

Thanks!
