README

The contao advanced form bundle adds a new form-field (Formpage) to forms that can be used for multipage-forms with conditions

Working with Contao 4.9 and up to Contao 4.13 (PHP ^7.4 and PHP 8) Cannot be installed together with MP_Forms from Terminal24

Features

  • Configurable formpage / pageswitch form-field with conditions for submitted values
  • A Guest mode to show specific form pages for guests only
  • Does not display form-pages when conditions are not met
  • Sends all collected data on specific form page
  • Compatible with all form-fields from contao

How to install the package

Install the package by using following command:

composer require oveleon/contao-advanced-form

After installing the contao-advanced-form-bundle, you should run a contao install to add the new fields.

The extension cannot be used or installed at the same time as MP_Forms from Terminal24

How does contao advanced form work

Once the installation is complete, you will be able to use a new field type called "Formpage" within Contao Forms that does act as a divider for created form fields (i.e.: radio button menu, textarea, etc.).

The 'formpage' form-field acts as a page-switch and you will be redirected to it if the condition from previous submitted values is met.

Initial setup

  1. Set up your form as usual and create your form-fields

  2. Create 'formpage' fields between the form-fields that should be divided into pages

    Admin View: Advanced form overview

  3. Add a 'submit button label' into your form-page

  4. In case you want a button to get to your previous page, add a 'back button label' as well

Advanced setup for conditions

  1. Follow the initial setup mentioned above

  2. Create values that can be submitted (e.g. Radio button menu) above the form-page that should meet the condition

    Admin View: Advanced form overview

  3. Activate the "Add condition" checkbox and write your condition into it

Important Information

Creating Form Pages

  • The first form-page will always be divided by the first form-field and the first 'Formpage'-field.

  • Following form-pages are created by wrapping them with 'Formpage'-fields.

  • The last field in your form needs to be a 'Formpage'-field, otherwise it will show all form-fields (This is great to debug through your form).

Conditions

Conditions within page-switches (Formpages) will always work for the

FOLLOWING

form-fields up to the next page-switch (Formpage)

Syntax

 ${Field name of radio button menu} == '{Value of radio button menu}'

A radio button menu with a field name of 'Example1', and a submitted value of 'Option1' will jump to this page-switch (form-page).

 $Example1 == 'Option1'

You are able to set-up complex conditions to show a certain form-page. The following PHP functions can be used within the condition:

  • floatval
  • strval
  • intval
  • in_array
  • str_contains

If more functionality is needed, feel free to create a feature issue.

Buttons

The submit-button and back-button are set up for the

PREVIOUS

form-page. They will work for the form-fields above the page-switch (Formpage).

Classes

Classes will always be set for the

PREVIOUS

form-page. They will work for the form-fields above the page-switch (Formpage).

Protecting and hiding form-pages

Using the option 'protect form page' and 'show to guests only', will always work for the

PREVIOUS

form-page. They will work for the form-fields above the page-switch (Formpage).
