Multipage form

xoail 14 Sep, 2007
Our school's application form is quite lengthy. Is there a way to split it into pages and collect the complete data on final 'review and submit' page?
Is there a way I can setup the applicants to review the form before final submit?
This is complex, but can registered users be able to save an incomplete form and resume later?

I know there are too many questions. But I just need to know if this component could work for us.

Thank you for going through this post.

Hi Xoail,

#1- This is not available with the ChronoForms core yet although its in the "todo" list, you can do this now by splitting your form code into divs then use button with javascript at the end of each div to hide one and show the next one.

#2- Sure, here is the trick, make 2 forms, the first one will include the normal HTML but wont email anything, change the action URL of this one to be the 2nd form URL, at the 2nd form code use the POST with PHP to receive the submitted values and some hidden fields to hold the values so on submit at the 2nd form things get stored/emailed.

#3- Not yet, we are working on some more flexibility for chronoforms to do this in the near future hopefully.

Cheers
