Multipage Surveys
Usually a form or questionnaire is one page. The form is filled-in and sent then. If a form or questionnaire is very long, it's better to make several pages out of it which you put in a sequence just by mentioning the subsequent page in the thanks value of their aforegoing form-page (so do not forget to change the thanks value on every page accordingly).Further, these preparations are necessary:
1.
Is your u5CMS installation up-to-date and ready for this functionality?×
For the functionality described on the page at hand, make sure you are using a current u5CMS version. You'll find the version number by surfing to your website and switching your browser to show the HTML source code. At the very bottom of the source code you'll find a line like this:
<!-- This site runs with u5CMS version 12.4.3 from https://yuba.ch/u5cms -->If there is no such line or no version number or one lower than V8.3.3, see the following instructions:
u5CMS — How to update an existing installation (version 4 and above)
A) If the layout does not look right after having done step 7, go to https://urltoyouru5cmsfrontend/u5admin and open a css-object (e. g. csslayout) in PIDVESA's S special function's code (htmltemplate & css) section and safe it!
B) If your navigation does not look well, copy this code to cssnavleft in PIDVESA's→S→Code and this code to cssnavleftsubtop in PIDVESA's→S→Code and this code to cssnavtop in PIDVESA's→S→Code

These update instructions are for u5CMS versions 4 and above. For versions below 4 read this!
- On your server, go to the files of your old (current) u5CMS installation and copy config.php to config.old.php
- Download the ZIP-File , unzip it and delete the file favicon.ico
- Further, delete all contents in folder r EXCEPT runonce.php
- Transfer the remaining files and folders from the ZIP file over the existing installation (FTP upload)
- Now, on your server, copy the database connection parameters $host $username $password $db from config.old.php to config.php If there are other dedicated settings in config.old.php, set the same in config.php (compare parameter by parameter)
- You must now log in to the backend of your (now updated) u5CMS installation via https://urltoyouru5cmsfrontend/u5admin and open a css-object (e. g. csslayout) in PIDVESA's S code section, for your site to work correctly again.×

C) If after A) and B) the layout still does not look right, change the doctype <!DOCTYPE html> to the old one
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
2.
Create a page EXACTLY named youremail
The page must have EXACTLY this content:
[h:] <label id="donotchange"><br>E-Mail*</label> <input style="width:550px" type="text" name="youremail_mandatory" id="youremail_mandatory" onchange="saveyouremail.location.href='saveyouremail.php?youremail='+this.value" /> <iframe style="display:none" name="saveyouremail"></iframe> <iframe style="display:none" src="writeyouremail.php"></iframe> [:h]
3. On every page of your multipage form you now must write this code. Do that INSIDE the form section!
[$$$:youremail]
But do NOT mention the youremail_mandatory field anywhere by typing it manually in that style:
<input size="77" type="text" _mandatory" />
Still each form (each page) will be sent and stored independently, but you will be able to connect the data rows in Excel or SPSS by means of the youremail value which you gather on EVERY page of your multi page form. Of course the user has to fill-in the youremail field only once (on the first page), thanks to cookies on page 2 forward it will be filled-in automatically.
