Creating a multi-page form
Some forms get very big and it can be overwhelming for the user. There are two main techniques for "breaking up" a big form into bite-sized chunks.
The first is to use panes which look like the tabs in the ChronoForms Forms Manager. These use the standard Joomla! "panes and sliders" code and can fairly easily be added to a ChronoForm. However, there are some difficulties in validating entries on separate tabs — it can be done with server-side validation or with a custom LiveValidation, but those are beyond our ability to address here.
The second is to break the form up into separate sub-forms so that after the user submits one page they are shown the next one. This allows you to validate each step, and to "adjust" the following pages using information from the earlier steps.
You can do this using some quite complex PHP in a single form, or you can use the ChronoForms Multi-page plugin which provides a simple way to link several forms together into a sequence.
