Sign Up Form not clearing

    Hi,

    I am using the multiple page form.

    When I set the last page to: [pdb_record groups=”admin” action=”sign-up”]

    it just goes back to the first page with all the previous details filled in. It seems as if the data has been submitted, though.

    Is there any way to force the form to clear so that one person can fill in multiple participant details without having to click back to the original sign up page?

    You can’t use the “action” attribute for this purpose because that is for setting up a multiple-page form. That’s why it comes back with the form still filled in, it thinks you’re not done. Get rid of the action attribute, set up a thanks page and put a link back to the signup page on your thanks page. Make sure you have the [pdb_signup_thanks] shortcode on the thanks page.

    Thanks that makes sense – I tried to do as above but my form still wasn’t clearing.

    I have given up on the multiple page idea – it isn’t REALLY necessary, I hope.

    Is there any way to bypass the whole thank you page entirely and get aclear form once the record has been entered?

    We’re going to be using this mostly for data capturing so it really would be quicker if once you hit save, the record is saved,and a clear form is then presented.

    I wouldn’t mind a little message at the top just saying, your record has been saved or something similar.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks so much in advance!

    If you set up your thanks page with a link back to the signup form, the signup form will be clear when you get back there. If it is not, it means you didn’t finish the previous submission. There has to be a [pdb_thanks_signup] on the thanks page so that the submission is completed. That’s probably your best bet for the workflow you describe.

    Of course, the backend add/edit participant form is really designed for this kind of thing.

    Okay, that makes sense.

    Thanks so much for your help.
