We can continue the support there. Feel free to reference this topic and restate the challenge you have currently. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-154691 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 01:54:23 +0000 ZeadsDead 154691@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris. My problem is straight forward but the answer does not seem easy. That is why I have resulted to various hacks and work arounds.</p> <p>I have a 6 page form. I need the user to be able to navigate to any given page that they want. The user also needs the option to save any given page so that they can return later if they want.</p> <p>Sounds simple but when you think about it, the current limitations of GF come just short of a solution:</p> <p>multpage with persistent addon wont work because user cannot navigate the form at their will</p> <p>6 single page forms with dynamic population &amp; persistent addon wont work because each form will still display after the user hits SUBMIT, thereby confusing the user. (the user completes a page and comes back the next day to find the form empty... they will surely get confused and attempt to redo the page again).</p> <p>still pondering a solution. hoping i discover something soon. </p> <p>to recap, all i need is a 6 page form with a save button on each page and navigation ability for easy access to each page. </p> <p>thanks!<br /> Ben </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-154387 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:25:33 +0000 Chris Hajer 154387@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't know of any way to do that. With the browser back button, the cached information from the browser is stored, so you would not be able to change that. If you forced them to use your page links to the forms, you might be able to hide the form (some sort of conditional to say "if the visitor came from a later page, show them something instead of the form.) However, the 'something' would not be easy to do, and the visitor could still use the browser back button.</p> <p>Maybe you can come up with another approach which does not require so many work-arounds. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-153603 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 18:09:39 +0000 ZeadsDead 153603@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>Okay, so here is my solution. I am going to create 5 single page forms. I will carry the data to the last page. After submitting each page, the user will then be able to access the last form page where all their info is listed for further editing</p> <p>When the user submits page 1, 2, 3, or 4, the confirmation message will say:<br /> Thanks for submitting, please go to page 5 to make further edits.</p> <p>So now my question is:</p> <p>Is it possible with GravityForms to permanently show that confirmation page (thereby hiding the form)? In other words, after the user submits each page, I want to hide the form because I would rather the user make changes on page five. This means the confirmation page for each form must be displayed because it instructs the user to go to page 5 for further edits.</p> <p>Possible? If yes, how... custom php?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Ben </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-151972 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:49:27 +0000 Chris Hajer 151972@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is correct: they could not go back and edit the page, since that form was already submitted. All the forms are disconnected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-150359 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:03:58 +0000 ZeadsDead 150359@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>Awesome answer. I am going to create multiple 1-page forms that pass the data. But not the question remains, when the user finishes a page and clicks "Save", the form will be submitted and the user will not have the opportunity to go back and change/update that info.</p> <p>For example, lets assume there are 4 single pages. User completes page 1 and 2 and clicks save at the end of each page. User moves onto page 3 and 4 and realizes they want to change the info on page 1 and 2. </p> <p>But it's too late because they already clicked "save" .... is this correct? They can no longer access the info... they will now see a blank form.</p> <p>thanks in advance<br /> Ben </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-150203 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:34:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 150203@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <blockquote><p> 1. change each page's "Submit" button to a "Save" button </p></blockquote> <p>Yes, you can configure the text on the button to be whatever you want; Save, for example.</p> <blockquote><p> 2. then the final page's "Submit" button will submit ALL the pages. </p></blockquote> <p>If you pass data from one form to the next, then your final page (single page form) can save all that data. If you don't pass the data from the prior forms to the final form, then the last form will just submit the data which was entered there.</p> <p>Cross-form conditional logic is not a feature of Gravity Forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-150109 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 09:28:00 +0000 ZeadsDead 150109@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I contacted the guys from asthait about their Data Persistence Add-On. The info saves in the database which is good.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I need the ability to allow my users to navigate to each page of the form on their own.</p> <p>asthait stated that this is not possible with their Add-On and suggested I use multiple 1-page forms.</p> <p>My question is, if I choose to use multiple 1-page forms, is it possible to:<br /> 1. change each page's "Submit" button to a "Save" button<br /> 2. then the final page's "Submit" button will submit ALL the pages.</p> <p>I don't mind doing custom programming for this.</p> <p>Finally, if I do institute this solution, does GF allow for cross-form conditional logic?

You can use the User Registration add-on for this, or you can use normal WordPress account registration procedures.</p> <p>I don't think s2member is in user here. If you check for the plugin directory:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member</a></p> <p>It comes up with a 404 rather than a blank screen or a WordPress error. I believe the functionality here is custom coded, with bbPress 1.x for the forums. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multi-page-forms-2#post-144469 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:46:44 +0000 ZeadsDead 144469@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@Chris Hajer</p> <p>I've read almost every thread on this forum about the GF persistence add on.</p> <p>I notice you keep saying the plugin only works if the user is logged in... My question is, does this mean we have to have a membership-based Wordpress website, like s2member? I'm totally cool with that but I just want to make sure.</p> <p>2nd Question... is s2member the membership plugin that GF uses for their support forum? I like the way this area looks and I think I have seen it before.</p> <p>Thanks, Ben </p>
