Hi,

Firstly, thanks for a great component! Although it has taken a lot of hair pulling and forum searching I have just about managed to solve the multi-page result form problem. However, I nearly threw the towel in when I could not receive any of the body of the form - just the email and 'submitted by . . ' Now I know that you have to put something into the email template in order to receive the results.

I have a 3 page form with numerous fields so how does this work? In the Mother form it states the following:

"If you left your Email template empty, a template will be automaticly generated similar to your form layout!"

I have a number of multi-page forms with loads of fields to enter so is there an easy way to list the field name and the equivalent {field name}

E.G. First Name {first_name}
Last Name {last_name}

etc. etc.

As soon as I manage to solve this problem I will try and do the more fancy things with form creation.

Thanks in advance,

Simon

Hi Simon,

A little bizarre but there is a way to create a multi-page template.

You want to create your live Email Setup on the Mother Form so that it runs after the last step. But, as you've found, the Mother Form can't see the form HTML of the steps to create a template for you.

Method 1 is to create a template by hand.

Method 2 may be easier if you have login forms. Create an Email setup for each of the steps* (just a dummy with the minimum settings) copy each of the automatically generated templates into the Mother Form template and you will have the code from each of the steps.

* Make sure that you leave the Setup disabled so it doesn't send unwanted emails.

Hi GreyHead,

SORTED! I used method 2 and it took no time at all. Many thanks

However.....I am having problems with the checkbox item. To keep it simple I have a three page form and on page 2 I have 3 sets of checkbox selections. The first has about ten choices, the second 8 and the third five. The third set does not send in the results form even though I have {check3} in the form template. Even more strange is that the third set on page 3 does not send either.

Is there any sort of built in limit or am I doing something fundamentally wrong on both pages at the same place?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi,

I have sorted it!

Basically, I went into each page and manually changed the "check" number - it appears three times for each checkbox. I started at 0 and carried on - it was easy to see that each checkbox has to be unique for all pages together. This is a little painfull as I have a number of multi-page forms to produce which use several checkbox items per page.

Would it be possible to be able to enter the checkbox number at the point it is entered onto the wizard form instead of manually changing the HTML for every page?

Many thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Glad you got it working.

Hopefully the next version of the Wizard will let you do that. The Wizard predates the multi-page plug-in and I don't think Max anticipated the problem (I know that I didn't).
