It's almost done... (Multi-page Form Question)? - seawind - May 10th, 2009

I just completed a five page Multi-Page form with the api it took me a little while but formtools is working great, It sure made my life easier! My question is...

As an example the user fills out page one and two but then does not complete the process for any reason.

Can page one and two still be processed by formtools? Or would I have to setup every page to be submitted seperately for this to work?


Thanks ahead of time!

Hi Seawind,

Sure! To do this, you should add pass the "finalize" => true key-value pair to the ft_api_process_form function on the first page of your form, rather than the last. As you probably know, once that information has been passed, Form Tools then displays the submission in the UI. Normally this goes on the last page of the form, but sometimes (like in your case!) it helps to set it earlier on.

Next, you'll need to pass one more key-value pair to that same function on pages 2-4:

PHP Code:
"may_update_finalized_submissions" => true, 

By default, the ft_api_process_form function won't allow you to update a finalized submission (just for safety's sake). This overrides that.

Hope this helps!

Ben,

Thank you very much for the information I will be trying that very soon and posting back with the results. While your on here I have one more question if you don't mind...

My very first form page is small to get the user started, this results in having a few duplicate fields on the second page such as First Name, Last Name, etc. Is there any way to pass the fields from the first page to populate the fields on the second page so they don't have to be reentered by the user?


Thanks,
Ryan

Hey Ryan,

Sure, no problem. Check out this tutorial: http://docs.formtools.org/tutorials/api_refilling_form_fields/

It t outlines how to re-fill form fields if the user returns to previous pages, etc. It's pretty simple, actually: the ft_api_init_form_page() function that you're calling on all your pages returns a hash of form field values entered up to that point.

All the best -

Ben
