I need to make a multi-page form for RS form Pro, and Im wondering how I could do this?. Is this a feature that could be integrated in a future version?

I have a similar need. It seems to me that it would be broken into two parts -

1. Create a form, and use the plugin to write the data to a tmp database record.
2. Call the subsequent form page from a PHP page that first populates hidden form fields from the tmp record and passes them to the new form, so that you can post the next \"composite\" to the final record. This could go on as long as required. It requires the database plugin.

Thoughts?


What I am not clear on is how you would allow someone to \"go back a page\" to make a page.

This is exactly what I am looking for as well and am waiting to purchase until I can find out if it is possible. Anyone have any ideas?

I too am in need of such an animal.

An additional issue is if the form can be made persistent, ie. the user can complete the form to some point, hit a \"save\" button and come back later and complete it. Options;
1. timer/time out... if the form is not completed within X hours, it is erased.
2. persistes by cookie? formal login? some quick unique temporary name we give them?
3. session is interupted somehow email them back with a temporary unique number to get back into the system and finish.

The idea is to have them fill it out and then .... and then... fill out name address, etc.

Any ideas if and how much this component will do?

I'm after all the above as well but also with the ability for the user to be able to go back and edit existing entries and make additions.

Hi this would be a great benifit for me too as I am looking to have mutilple page forms, I have the database plugin seems easy enough to save the data to another database, but then the problem is that we pick up the same data the person has entered in the next page and not someone elses, for example when the 1st form loads, get a unique code which is hidden and then use that code all the way through the form to pick up the correct data, also would be good if we went to the next page, it would then update the same table entry to add the next lot of data from the other pages.

The other problem is again which someone has already pointed out is a back button, and it will need to pickup the data that was previously in the boxes that the user entered.

Have the admins got any ideas on this??

Thanks

Admins, please tell us if this functionality will be in future releases of RSFrom Pro.

Thank You

Hello,

You can make multi-page forms by using some javascript code. Please take a look here for an example.

I checked this web and there are really interesting forms to download, but unfortunatly, when I try to download, using "Get this form" button, I got an empty zip file. This happens with all forms I tried.

Any help ?

Thank you.

Yes, me too.

I thought I could do it with tabs and slides, but no. They would have to be separate forms.

All just one big form to fill out I guess is the only way to do it.

The part about coming back later to finish the form would be very nice too - especially for an extremely long form.

Hey Gang...You mean like this?

In case you were wondering, I built this in Dreamweaver 3 using the Spry Assets. First I took the original code that the RSFORMS Pro generated (In FORM Layout Tab), dropped it into the CODE window, set it to Design mode, Dropped in a Spry Assets (Tabs), then just moved in the Fields tags under the TABS that I wanted and added. You then have to upload the file you created. It will automatically create the SPRY files it needs. SAVE the work file as it will be your work file for other changes. It has NOTHING to do with the final outcome as that is controlled by the Form Layout tab.

Once I had it like I wanted it, I then switched BACK to the CODE window, copied it all and dropped it BACK INTO and OVER what was already there into the FORM Layout window. NOTE: Make sure you UNCHECK the Auto Generate Layout Option.

You might have to do a little CSS modifying while in Dreamweaver, but all you do for that is click around and you will see that options light up on the right hand side in Dreamweaver.

Makes for a nice little form if you ask me and it does not bounce all over the place.

If you want to modify the SAMPLE forms that they talked about here in this thread, you have to go to the FORM Layout tab. You will see the scripting there.

Hope this helps someone at least!

I am just now seeing this post...but what you do is restore THIS file to the RSFORMS pro...You do not extract it...You simply just pick the file for restore and it drops it in...

Could you please give me example of this form, i canot create nothing, no programming skils I really need multi page form but no success My emails is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

I would kiss you if we were in the same room! Brilliant! Just what I needed and so, so easy to do. After entering my crazy long form I really didn't want to have to futz around more with javascript (which I'm not very good at).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
