2 page signup
Hi everyone!

Can the signup page be divided into two pages?

Right now my signup page has some basic personal info.
Now I want to foce people to fill out other info such as tastes in food, economic group, times they travel, how they travel etc.
Could get a little long, so I want it on a different page, and since all current members havent filled out this extra info, Id like to force them somehow.

Also, talking about enforcing, if I ever decide to add more fields to the form, Id like for them to also be forced to see it and fill it out.

Ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

The easiest way for this, is to make a pre-signup page, i.e page.cgi?p=signup_pre (create a template called signup_pre.html). Then, in signup_pre.html, put your signup code for the first step (and then add some JS to check the fields, before submitting).

Then, set the form to send to user.cgi (with a hidden field, <input type="hidden" name="signup_form" value="1" />). In signup_form.html, you then need to add a load of "hidden" fields, which get populated with the data they entered in step 1 (this basically then passes those values to the signup script, when they've completed).

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

You think that it is possible with add.cgi ?

I would like to obtain 2 pages to add a link.

Thanks

Mick

Hi,

Sure, I do that kind of stuff all the time :) (sometimes even 3 stages, if there are a ton of fields)

Cheers

Thanks Andy for your answer.

It is necessary to use a plugin ?

If a field is obligatory, that also functions ?

Hi,

It just needs to be done with some clever coding in the add form :)

I've found that its better to do verification checks on the first stage, with some Javascript (this saves them entering the details, then going to the next step - and then upon the 3rd step, getting an error message =))

Cheers

Thanks Andy for your answer.

1- Therefore, I think that it is necessary to create a new page: i.e page.cgi? p=add_pre.

2- Then, I modify include_form to record the data which are registered on add_pre (checked with Javascript) with hidden fields?

You can confirm ?
Thank you for your patience...
