Feature request - Add multi-page forms (wizards)
Reported by dleffler | September 25th, 2012 @ 07:46 PM | in 2.2.1 (closed)
This could be accomplished fairly simply by...
- adding a 'page break' control to show the groups and allow us to enter a name
- create several groups of in the form with all but the current 'page' hidden. The 'next' button would simply hide the current 'page' and 'unhide' the next 'page'
- would probably want to also allow a 'pager' type control so you could see the entire sequence of pages and optionally select to move back to the beginning, etc...
- Obviously we'd have to do some error checking on any controls on the hidden pages before we allowed the 'submit' button to appear

Might be easiest to simply add one field/property to the formbuilder_control table for the page with 0 being master or all pages.
- would need to validate each form page before progressing to the next
- would want to have a 'counter' field on the form which would increment to the highest form page completed so you couldn't skip ahead

This jQuery widget seems most usable http://www.dbarnes.info/jWizard

After some preliminary coding, it appears the jWizard addon will not be suitable since we must also provide some form validation between pages...currently testing/coding using jQuery Stepy http://wbotelhos.com/stepy and jQuery Validation plugin http://validation.bassistance.de...also appears a better implementation is by using a 'page break' control instead of assigning a 'page' property to each control.
FWIW, we need to provide form paging with both the form() object (used in forms module and when programmatically creating forms) and the {form} smarty block (used to create forms in views). Also must provide some sort of interface in the fakeform() object which is used to design forms for the forms module...however this will likely be a single linear display with the page break controls instead of a multi-page type display.
FWIW, did some testing with jQuery quickWizard https://github.com/conzett/jquery.quickWizard which uses the Validation plugin, but is not quite a 'pretty' as Stepy.

Notes to self: We'll need to adapt/code:
- option/setting for form to allow paging...this will then offer the 'page' control, activate the scripting, etc...
- checking to ensure the 1st control of a paged form IS a page break...e.g., the FIRST control MUST be the page control to do the 'fieldset' properly, otherwise the controls above the 'page' break appear all the time and are not arranged nicely.

(from [bbe7b86a26218fcce6501367771f4da09e0d93d4]) Initial implementation of multi-page forms (wizards), by adding 'page break' control, currently only works in forms designer/forms module, will add a smarty block version next...needs additional error checking since page control MUST be first to prevent odd displays [#730] https://github.com/exponentcms/exponent-cms/commit/bbe7b86a26218fcc...
