multiple forms for large number of elements

[jbyrley]

I'm making a large form that has more elements that can be handled by a single db table, and so as I understand I have to create multiple forms to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction for how to link one form to the next, such that, when someone gets to the bottom of the first form, there is a button that says "continue to next section" and that will take them to the next form?

Many thanks in advance.

Easiest way is to use a redirect plugin, pointing at your next form.

Create an element on the second form, something like first_form_id, and in the redirect link, add that to the link, so your second form has a foreign key relating it to the first one ...

./index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=X&second_form___first_form_id={rowid}

Replace X with the numeric ID of your second form.

Yes, that worked. Thanks Hugh.
