Umbraco Contour Multi step forms - deciding next step based on user input
I am using UmbracoCMS and Contour_1.1.12.
While creating multi step forms, i need to dynamically decide, which
form will be visible in the next step, based on certain field values the
user has provided in the previous step.
For example in contour multi-step forms, there is a step in which
user has to provide input using a checkbox field. After filling the form
in this step the user will click the "Next" button to move to the next
step. Now i want to either display or skip the next step based on
whether the user selected the checkbox or not in the previous step.
Can we extend the contour form control to implement/override the "Next" button functionality in ASP.Net, if contour does not provide this functionality by default.
I have searched for "overriding the contour 'Next' button event in multi-steps forms" but no material is available on the web.
It should be possible by either a workflow or hooking into the event model, basicly a form holds a reference to the current step if you increment that you'll be able to skip a step depending on a value of a field
I was digging around to see if anything like this had been achieved before as I am having the exact dilemma mentioned here. Basically I have a form and depending on a value the user selects I need to send them to a certain step.
It's this or create my own form usercontrols - don't fancy that much!
Any pointers on how to achieve this much appreciated :)
Hi. hooking into the Contour event model or Workflows didn't work for me. I was able to match the field values but there wasn't any functionality to skip the countour page. Currently i am doing it by adding some inline code in RenderForm.ascx and extending some FieldTypes (Drowndownlist, RadioButton List). I replaced the actual event handler for Next and Previous Click with my own and called the actual method nextPage(sender, e) from inside my handler after making decisions based on my extended controls' value. Its not a very good solution i think, but it works for me.

Many thanks for your help. I am currently trying to hook into the event model and will update here if the task is done. Thanks again.
