Hello,

Using Joomla 1.7 / Chrono V4

I have built a multi-page form using the session-to-data/data-to-session tool to pass and display data:

page1: collect data/save to db1
page2. collect additional data/save to db2
page3. display data from pages 1 and 2 using the session

Overall it works properly accept when it comes to the field on page 2 where the user can select/save multiple cities. The idea is to allow the user to select between 1 to 10 cities but it doesn't display the cities on page 3 during the session or when it's called from the database later on.

1. using the data-to-session tool all that comes through is "array" everything displays properly
2. when I log out and back in to end the session, the call to the database loads everything accept the multiple cities data (comes up blank)

I believe I may need to do something differently regarding using an array but I'm not sure if/how to do that.

Any guidance is appreciated

hi there,

you could try this:
on page 2 add a handle arrays event to the on submit and enter your delimiter of choice in Delimiter.
on page 3 in the db record loader enter the field name of your select box in Array Fields Sets
and your separator of choice in Array Separators
make sure the delimiters in the 2 actions correspond

Hi swmckay,

Gabriela's solution sounds right to me. You need to handle the array from the multiple selection carefully at each step.

Note also that ChronoForms has a bug in republishing data from multiple selections (I'm not sure if this affects you or not). There's a fix linked from the CFv4 RC2.0 bug list post in the CFv4 forum.

Thank you gentlemen!
