Multi Part Forms

Post by bjlolmaugh »

Is there an example somewhere of a Multi Part Form?
I have never made one so I would love to see how it is put together.

You can use the Carousel to implement a multi-page form or use the 'Wizard' object under 'Layout'

Hi Pablo.

I am playing around with the Layout Wizard Object for creating a multi-part form.
I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I get the form to open on the first page ... instead of the last page?
2. How do I get the form to remain in the position I placed it on the page? I have set the Horizontal & Vertical settings to Absolute Position.

1. The form settings apply to the entire form (all pages)
2. If you set the Horizontal & Vertical settings to Absolute Position then the wizard will be placed at the position of the workspace.
Unless, you make it modal, draggable or resizable.

So, I unchecked the boxes for Modal, Draggable or Resizable. That made it worse.
And it still opens with the Last page instead of the First page.

If you need help then please share a DEMO project

I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

Note that I cannot see what you have done based on the published page (HTML), because the software has thousands of options and millions of possible combinations.
So, there is no way to know which options you have used by looking at the HTML only.

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

Thanks for the project.

The wizard wasn’t originally designed to be used in this way. Since it’s essentially a dialog, it’s typically intended to appear as a popup.

That said, in the latest software update (8/24/2025) I’ve made a few improvements to the absolute positioning of the wizard object (when used in non-modal mode). You might want to give it a try and see if it works better for your case.

What do you mean it wasn't designed for this use? You are the one that suggested I use it.

Your update took care of the alignment issue and will now open in first page, however, when I click NEXT, it opens to the bottom (instead of the top) of the next page.

Additionally, when I click finish it does not process the Built-in PHP script.

After I submitted a test form to myself, I hid 2 objects ... now it is completely messed up.

I meant, it was designed to be used a popup, not embedded.
But I did try to help you by making some adjustments in an attempt to make it work for you.

I cannot see what you have done based on the published page.
If you need further assistance the please provide a demo project and describe what you have done.

The only change I made was to hide 2 editbox objects. That was it. Everything else remained the same.

I do not think this error has anything to do with the update.
I think there is an error in your settings, because the browser debugger throws an error.

How exactly did you hide them?
Can you please be more specific?

Right click on the object, then click Hide. This is typically how I hide all objects with no issues.

I can hide object in your previous shared demo project and it continues to work.
So, I do no think hiding an object has anything to do with the issue.
I think you have also made other changes which cause the error.

If you need further assistance then please share the updated project.

Your project works for me, so I am sure it can also work for you.
However, if you use invalid settings then it may stop working. Based on the error in the browser it looks like you have added an invalid quote in text somewhere.

If you need help, then please share the updated project.

I know it can be frustrating but Pablo will work with you to get it working - but you must provide the information he requests to enable him do this.

Have a cup of tea/coffee, take a deep breath and try again by responding to Pablo. :D :D :D
