I am trying to do as you say, so I have a link with an id which I can target for the ‘on click’ so

$(“#target-id”).on(“click”, function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(‘.pdb_record’).attr(‘action’, “/new-url/?pid”).submit();
});

But I cannot seem to get which attribute to target where I have put (.pdb_record)

I can’t see a class or an id for the form.

Am I doing this completely wrong please ?

Thanks

I did try adding more submit buttons in the template eg:
<button type=”submit” formaction=”url/?id=” >New Button</button>

Which I hoped would submit and move to the chosen page, the button appeared nicely, but the form still submitted to the original page, not the new action.

Thanks for the offer of extra help. I have found the problem. It was indeed a plugin – ‘PDF24 Article To PDF’ Which is a shame as is was an excellent way to save the form to a pdf. Although I had deactivated the plugin and refreshed the form, I needed to come out of the form, refresh the site and go back into the form. All is well!!

The problem that I am having is that the “No File Selected” text is not being replaced by the name of the file. The name of the file is appearing as well as the “No File selected” text.

I assume no one else is having this problem, so it must be something I have done.

I have a lot of JavaScript working to hide fields not required, so maybe there is a conflict somewhere. I can perhaps remove this text with my own JavaScript as i have no idea where I might have overwritten the default behavior!!

Thanks for reply.

Absolutely fantastic, thank you for your very speedy reply. That has sorted out my problem that I had spent 2 days trying to fathom.
Thank you so much for your help.
This plugin in Superb.

Thank you for taking the time to reply an offer a suggestion. I removed all the javascript, but that didn’t solve the problem. However, it turned out there wasn’t a problem at all!! I was checking all changes on an existing record, so modifying the record default field made no difference to the form. But, when I created a new record, all the defaults were acknowledged. Just have to be careful to get all defaults in place before going live and sending out the Private ID for a new record, as you can’t set them later.
Thanks again for your efforts and the help you have given. I think its nearly operational and the plugin is outstanding.

Ummm, then I have a problem. I did have the value as yes,no and the default as no, so now I have changed it to value yes::yes,no::no with default no but when i go to the multi-page, neither box is checked. The same happens on each page of my multi-page form and I just can’t think how I might have broken your database! If I save the page with the box checked, all is well. BUT, for a new client, I have hidden parts of the form or pages, depending on whether the box is checked. I need the default to be not checked, ie no and everything hidden, until they click otherwise. I don’t suppose you can think of anything that could have done to disrupt how it should work?

Thanks, I have done as you suggest and organized into smaller groups. Sorry, I did search for answers, but used the wrong search terms and didn’t find anything!

That’s great. Thank you very much. And thanks for such an excellent plugin.

Thank you for your reply. Your plugin is excellent for the task we are building and I have set up quite a large multi page input form. But a few of the pages contain quite a few currency fields.

As I am trying to develop the project, I know I will need to make changes to some of the fields in the field group at some point.

Is there any chance that you will create a decimal field type for your plugin in the near future (10,2 would be excellent) or if not, is it something I could easily add, that would not be too much of a problem to implement each time you do a plugin update. If so, could you possibly point me to the files that I need to look at to make the changes.

Thanks very much

What happened was that I had made all the changes to decimal in phpmyadmin and added the step change to the numeric data field in the field group. I then put some data into the fields to check that it was working and all was good.

Then I spotted I had not added a step::0.01 to one of the numeric fields, so I added it and updated the fields.

All of the numeric fields for that field group then changed back to numeric BIGINT(20) in phpmyadmin. I suppose that is what they should do, as they are being updated back to the original numeric setting. But that means, you can not make any changes to the field group or click the update fields button, once you have completed the conversions to DECIMAL. Is that correct?

Thank you that has sorted out my problems perfectly.

I have set the action in the shortcode to the same page on each of the pages, then I have created a link to the next page on each of the pages using ‘is_page’ and styled the link as a button.

This works, but maybe there is a better solution, as I would rather the page was saved if either button were clicked. Using this method, the applicant might click onto the next page link and forget to first save the page.

Thanks
