I am helping someone with a similar question. If there is already a solution for doing this, let me know. Otherwise I am going to investigate a way to do it with CKForms. I will post my findings back here once I'm done.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is there an update on this?

By the way, why would you want a form on multiple pages?

I never ended up hearing back. I think the person that was asking for it went to investigate a few other form extensions that said they handle multiple form pages.

Just to be clear, I, myself, wouldn't do a form on multiple pages :D

The main reason I've seen it used is for things like signup where you ask them for 3 simple things on the first page. On the next page, you ask them for more info (address, phone number, etc). It's a way to be able to collect more info without scaring them off at first and not getting any info, as far as I can tell. I could think of a few other reasons to want multiple form pages.

I was able to use CKForms and just have the success page of one form redirect to the next form, but I couldn't pass on values from the first form and have them populate values on the second form like the user was asking. The user would also see a message "thanks for submitting your form" or something similar on the second form that the user did not want.

I think you could coax CKForms into doing it. With a little help from the developers, I think it could be made to work better and be easier to configure.

Hope this helps.
