Building a Multistep Registration Form in Drupal 7 using Ctools

Submitted by madmatter23 on Thu, 03/14/2013 - 16:15

This article provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating a custom, multistep registration form via the Ctools Form Wizard in Drupal 7. If you'd prefer to solely use the core Form API, take a look at Building a Multistep Registration Form in Drupal 7, a previous blog post. In the interest of saving time, I'm going to be lifting some text directly from that post, given that there are a number of overlapping tasks.

Why use the Chaos Tools module to build a multistep form? Well, Ctools offers a number of tools that build upon the core Form API, allowing you to create a multistep form faster. This includes providing a method for caching data in between steps, adding 'next' and 'back' buttons with associated callbacks, generating a form breadcrumb, etc.

This article provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating a custom, multistep registration form via the Forms API in Drupal 7. For a Drupal 6 guide, I recommend Multistep registration form in Drupal 6.

Drupal 7's updated Form API makes the process of building multistep forms relatively painless. In combination with the excellent Examples for Developers module, it's really just a matter of copy, paste, and tweak.

We're going to be putting a slightly different spin on the standard approach to creating a multistep form.
