Sequential Forms

Hi,

I saw on this post http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=6&t=14165#p32801 that he made it so the user filled out something then it to you to another page and you filled out some more and it moved along as so.

How can I do this using the form wizard - or do I need to do it in html?


Thanks.

Hi John2aus,

You can create the separate forms with the Wizard, then link them together with the multi-page plugin.

This is fairly simple but not trivial. Start out with some very simple test forms to find out how it works.

Hi,

I don't know why it seems so hard for me! I did a very simple test and even that did not work!

I am working on the site locally but that should make no difference. I made forms one, two and three all with buttons of different names. The button name in three was End, but the linking did not work.

The debug I got was:

$params: JParameter Object ( [_raw] => debugging=0 onsubmit=before_email stepscount= formsnames= stepsnavigation=0 [_xml] => [_elements] => Array ( ) [_elementPath] => Array ( [0] => C:\xampplite\htdocs\budget\libraries\joomla\html\parameter\element ) [_defaultNameSpace] => _default [_registry] => Array ( [_default] => Array ( [data] => stdClass Object ( [debugging] => 1 [onsubmit] => before_email [stepscount] => 3 [formsnames] => one,two,three [stepsnavigation] => 1 [finalbuttonname] => End ) ) ) [_errors] => Array ( ) ) 

What seems to be the problem?

Hi John,

Do you have a mother form ? whats its name ?

Hi John,

Do you have a mother form ? whats its name ?

Max

Yes, one which SHOULD lead to two when I click the button...which should then lead to three.

The forms are only text and a button (each with different button names).

I am also dealing with this issue. Is there a tutorial for this?

Hi John,

No, there should be another mother form, call it zero or origin or whatever, but one,two,three are the childs and they need a mother and only this mother should have the multi page plugin enabled and configured, please check the plugins forums for Bob's tutorial about this!

Hi Max,

I read through the tutorial and created a 'mother' form, and set up that form with the multipage plug in. However, it still does not work.

The 'mother' form has the plugin enabled and the others do not. I have entered the details as required when I click on the "mother' form link, I just get the mother form; which is a blank form!

What am I doing wrong?


P.S. Did you get my PM Max?

Hi john2aus,

Please post a screenshot of the MultiPage plugin settings. (The main tab I think).

Bob

I think there may be some issue with the steps.

Edited.

Hi John,

I suspect that the form names are the problem - please will you change them to step_1 and step_2 both in the forms and the Plugin setup.

Bob
