Sending multiform data to zoho url

boneless 17 Feb, 2014
Hi yall,

new to the board and chronoforms, but i went in and made my first multipage form using the following faq entry:
http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/57-cfv4/cfv4-actions/2658-how-can-i-create-a-multi-page-form.html

Problem i have is once itsall set up and chronoforms adds the form tag, it uses an url to the second step in the multiform, if i edit the url to sent to in the advanced settings (click on the form name in chrono), then it submits from the first step to whatever url i put in there.

So my question is basicly, how to use the multipage form as per the faq entry and still sent properly to zoho (on hitting the submit button and not the next step ones).

Thanks to all in advance for checking this topic and or replying to it,

kind regards,

Ed

Hi boneless,

I assume that you just want to send the data to Zoho, not to redirect the User there?

If so then you need to pass the data forward from step to step, either with the Multi-Page actions or by saving to a DB Table and then re-loading. Then in the last On Submit event, you can use a cURL action to send all of the data to Zoho and also show a Thanks message to your user.

hi Bob,

thanks a bunch for answering, i also found today a small snippet of php code made by you to sent to zoho at the end of the form (use a custom code box). I asume with this multipage setup the data gets sent over from one form to the next else the setup wouldnt make any sense whatsoever, so i asumed that we could just sent it as one big chunk of data at the final step.

Any comments or toughts on this would be appreciated.

thanks for your reply,

Hi boneless,

Yes, if you have the multi-page set up correctly it should work just like that.

You can temporarily add debugger actions to the form events to see exactly what data is present at each stage.
