Chronoforms v3 Multi-Page Form: CF_ID

mcarson 04 Jan, 2012
We have a multi-page form that contains one mother form of 5 child forms. Using the native multi-page plugin logic outlined in your Chronoforms cookbook, the mother form functions perfectly by writing all fields from all pages to the database upon click of the final Submit button. That said, I have now changed this form to write to the database after each child form page using the hidden field logic that you provided in Chapter 12 of the cookbook. Two issues as a result that I need your help with: 1) Each child page is writing a separate record to the database and 2) CF_ID is indeed in the database for each of the records written, however the hidden field logic does not appear to be working. We have done a PHP echo on the CF_ID field at the top of each child form, and it comes back null.

My end goal here that I am trying to facilitate is the ability to produce a rendering using some fields from the child forms plus the CF_ID prior to the final SUBMIT button being clicked that triggers the final write to the database. If you have another idea on how to do this without writing after each child form page, I am so open to ideas.
