insert new record using multiple form

[panjiws]

Hi to all,

Again thanks a lot for 0.7 version of dataface it's really helpful for me. I get a new problem when handling one table with more than 50 column. I want give user multiple forms (in one form I'll put not more than 8 fields for entry) with a next button and at the end i provide save button to create a new record. is it possible for dataface to handle this? Thanks in advance..

best regards,

Panji

This is not supported in the current release.Ê However, I am currently knee-deep in the development of 0.8 which has vastly enhanced form features including the ability to create "wizards" like this.

If you are a PHP developer, you can also develop a custom action to do what you need.Ê The df_create_edit_record_form() function will create "edit forms" to edit a given record.Ê You can make it so that it only shows certain fields.Ê So making a wizard action is just a matter of keeping track of what step you're on and showing only the fields that should be displayed at that step.

Some examples can be found at:
