I think it doesn’t work with upload file. Any solution for the upload using this?
Got it working by adding the following to callback.php
$data[‘step’] = 2
I have set the form to email me when the first step of the form is submitted. The issue is when the first part is submitted, and email sent using mail() in callback.php, the form skips the second step and activates the third.
What is causing the second stop to be skipped?
Thanks, Jeff
Thanks for your help earlier Philo. I’m getting an “undefined” error on my form now. Double checked the database details and it checks out. Any ideas?
Hmm. Could you email me the files in a zip file so I can take a look 
?
I think I’m becoming to regret why I purchase this file because this dude chose not to reply to people issues. I commented here and emailed him since 4 days now he refused to respond.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I’m very busy at the moment, so haven’t checked the comments in a while. I replied to your previous comment, hope it helps.
Hey Philo—
I’m having the same problem as lotsonj. I want to create a multi-stage form that validates, submits, and moves on to the next step. Right now, when a form validates, it does not move to the next step, and vice versa.
Even your included sample seems not to do what it’s supposed to, in that it validates, but only refreshes whatever the current form is.
Apart from this snag, however, it’s a beautiful product. Thanks!
Please make sure you have to demo running on a server that supports php. If it just shows the spinner and fades out without anything happening it means that it can’t reach the php file.
Hi, I installed the form followed the instruction on the installation you provide but when I clicked next button that suppose to submit the form and go to the next level, it submit but go back to the first step. I form action field is empty because my form processor script is on the same page of the form, is that the reason why and if so, how can I solve it. Cause I want the form to move to the next step after submitting the form. Thanks, great work by the way. Just to solve this and I’m good to go.
To go to the next step, set $data[‘response’] = true; and return it using echo json_encode($data);
The action parameter is required! For example<form action="callback.php?step=2"> <!-- fields here --> </form>
In the callback.php file look for the get request of step 2:
if($_GET['step'] == 2){
// If data is invalid:
$data['message'] = 'Error message here';
// If data is valid:
$data['response'] = true;
}
Hello, Is there a way to use something else than PHP . For exemple ASP .NET – C# ?
regards
Yes this is possible, just output the returning message in JSON .
I cannot for the life of me get sessions to save in between steps. Is there some sort of variable i have to pass.
I just wanted to make a simple 2 page contact form and mail it. Does anyone have an example of how they made this work?
@tutelagesystems…
I have not yet purchased this however reviewing the very brief API that Philo posted it seems you could simply call the specific step you want to go to using this syntax:
// Open step 2
wizard.openstep(2);
Hi there,
Let’s say I have an input text in step 2. How can I get the value of this input in step 3 as it’s in fact in the same one file?
Can I send variables from callback.php to the form? if yes, how can I?
Thanks Loris
Sorry for the delay, I was out of office. I will make a demo script soon and add it to the download =)
Dear all,
I’ve now worked this out. For anyone having a problem with this in future – it’s actually quite simple (and in fact may have been obvious to everyone but me):
1. Send the data across from the HTML in the normal way (as per included documentation). 2. Use session_start and $_SESSION to capture, and store, the $_POST data received by the included PHP . This is the key; the data is now persistent across the wizard steps and still available at the end of the wizard. 3. Set up your variables to be emailed from the SESSION data.
Apologies to Philo as I’ve received a mail explaining he’s out of the office.
Cheers.
Hey,
has anyone managed to get this working as a multipage contact form? It’s easy enough to get working as a single page form but not as the contact form on the demo (which doesn’t actually do anything).
If so – how has anyone managed it? I’ve emailed the author both on here and on directly but haven’t had a reply. He also says to go onto his website forum for support but there’s not area for this product.
Basically I’m thinking this would need doing through PHP sessions? I just don’t know how to implement it (as I’m not expert in PHP ) and it’s not really worth having for a single page contact form since the whole point of it is to allow tabbing through ….)
Any help would be greatly appreciated since there’s none forthcoming from the author at the present time.
Cheers.
Hi Philo,
Very nice plugin, is there any way (or upgrades coming) that will make the previous step headers “clickable”?
Example, you are on step 4, but want to view what you did in step 2. Just an easy way to go back, then click back on Step 4 as you have already done them up to that point.
Thanks, Mickey
Hi,
this is a dumb question but could someone let me how to incorporate this in a working contact form? ie I wish to take information from a few pages and then email than information over in one message. I’m not sure how to implement this?
thanks a lot, Jamie
Just a quick question.
I am customizing for multi page form, across the different steps.
However, it would be useful, for us to allow previous links, WITH form validation. However looking at the code, previous link added to steps, can only be initiated if we dont have form validation.
Purchased, will have a play.
Thanks Steve ozwebsites
Okay, I got it to validate the checkbox, but one problem:
The default CSS really hoses up where a reasonable place for the “This field is required.” should be located. It appears there is no CSS for placement of the message specifically design for checkboxes. Any thoughts on a good mod for the css file for the checkbox error message?
Thank you for purchasing Wizard Pro. I will take a look and will post the solution soon.
Thank you!
On a related note, how would I move the errormsg to be placed before a button on the form and not before the form itself. I’m no javascript expert.
I see in the code, you have:
var form = $(this); ... $(‘ ‘data.message“ “).insertBefore(form);
How would we define a variable to instead perform the insertBefore to the button element we have on the form. Some forms are longer than the screen, and you don’t always see the error message unless you scroll all of the way back up. Having it occur above the button would make it much more visible.
Thanks!
You can change insertBefore into insertAfter 
The message will be displayed below the form.
If that doesn’t do it for you, send me a message and I’ll make some adjustments for you
Works great for now, but I think many people will find having the error displayed above the button much more usable. Just something to think about moving forward.
Thanks for the quick response!
Looks very good so far; however, I’m hitting a snag.
I can’t seem to get a checkbox field to be “required”. It is for the very first step, which is the acceptance of Terms & Conditions (which should be quite common in form wizards), so we must have that ability to use the package. Am I just missing something easy?
Also is it possible to add a back button to it ? Thanks
Yes this is possible. Just create a button like this:
<button class="prev">Go back</button>
