Redirection to tab

How to open a ChronoForms multi-tab form on a specific tab.

Overview

The form always opens on the first tab by default, requiring a method to start on a different tab.
Add a URL parameter to the form link and use PHP in the form template to check this parameter and set the corresponding tab as active.

I got a form with 3 tabs.

Main - Data - Files

Is there a way to open the form with the 2nd (Data) or 3rd (Files) tab open?

Thank you

Got it

Add in your redirection a:

?tab=*container number here

Add in your form:

$tab = JRequest::getVar('tab', false, 'get');

and an if like this where needed:

<?php if ($tab =="*container number here") {echo "class=\"active\"";}?>
