Hi Megan,

the problem is just the navigation button from the 1st form to the 2nd ? search the forums quickly for "multi page form" and see what you find then let me know if its still very hard for you.😉

Cheers

yea, thats it all i need, i can do the form but its the moving fom the pages i cant do! i rought understand the idea of assigning ids and having an onclick fuction, but ive bben at it for 4 days not and am tearing my hair out becuause it simply dosnet work😟 im sure its easy an im just a thickie. ive looked at the forum under multi page forms, but it looks even more complicated and makes me think ill never get it. i really could do with your help im at my wits end!

Hi Megan,

Here's the bare bones of your form. It's missing quite a lot of the fields and the validation. But there are examples of all the main field types and you can add the others by cut and paste.

It just has two tabs using the standard Joomla tab code and one submit button that submits the whole form.

I hope this helps.

PS Unzip the file and then use the Restore icon in the ChronoForms Form Manager to upload the .cfbak file and intall the form on your site.

thats FANTASTIC!!! i cant beleive you did that so fast, i am truly in your debt. i downloaded the file and restored the form, but nothing happens, do i need some plugins? one restored theres no form or anything? am i being a thicky again?
sorry fir the silly questions🙂

Hi Megan,

You should see the form in the Forms Manager with a url - if you click the url the form should open in a new window/tab.

Back in the morning if you have more questions.

Bob

thanks again🙂 yea i thought that, not showing up though.... let me ceck my ftp layer and permissions.

HI vettahead,

Neither FTP layer nor permissions should be a problem with seeing the form.

Are you running Joomla 1.5.x and ChronoForms v3.0?

Is the site on-line? If so you can pm me a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a look.

Hi,

I tried to add required-validation to the 2step_form. It only works when using the tab-key to go to the next field. If one opens the tabbed-form, goes to the last tabbed-pane and presses 'Submit', it seems that no validation of required fields is done at all. What to do?

In the example 2step_form, I made one field in the last step required. When pressing 'Submit' the field in the last step seems to be validated, i.e. I get a warning that it is a required field. This does not work if a field in the first step is made required. In that case the form is submitted as if everything was OK.

Hi Sweder,

It should work in the same way **except** that hidden fields are not validated and, as all fields on all tabs except the present are hidden only the fields on the current tab are validated. In my opinion, his is a flaw in the MooTools validation library we are using; I've found a better one from clientcode but it only works with MooTools 1.2.

Bob

Hi,

Thank you for your explaination. It all makes sense now.

Did you acctually use the one from clientcode with MooTools 1.2? Would you recommend it? And ... where can I find the one from clientcode?

Regards,

Sweder

Hi Sweder,

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this :-(

I've tested the MooTools 1.2 version from ClientCide and it looks OK so far The docs are here.

Bob

HI,

Thanks for your reply. i'll give it a shot.

Kind regards,

Sweder
