Tabbed Forms
-
Hi there,
I watched your really helpful video and I have a question about Tabbed forms:For example, break down the form into tabs: Tab 1 (2 fields with Name and Email), Tab 2 (2 fields of How did you find us and Book with us), etc.
Is this even possible,? I couldn’t reproduce it by fooling around in back-end! The second tab had the ‘+’plus sign to reproduce the 1st tab. But this is not what I’d like to achieve.
Thanks for letting me know!!!

Good eve, thank you for posting back on the forum.
or example, break down the form into tabs: Tab 1 (2 fields with Name and Email), Tab 2 (2 fields of How did you find us and Book with us), etc.

no, the tabbed section only repeat the fields lay-out of the initial tab.
Tabs are basically the same as tables (where a user can add multiple rows of the same set of fields of the initial row), and were designed so as to be able to contain more complex layouts (including tables) which were too complex to fit in a row.
Question: what’s the reason for the need to setup your form on multiple tabs?
I am guessing this is to break down the fields into a logical groups to be filled in a sequential step?
If so you could still achieve this using either a multi-step form (see this plugin which will work with cf7 forms) or use collapsible rows (jquery ui accordeon) which this plugin will allow you to achieve.
For the latter, the plugin group collapsible rows so that users can only open one section at a time (ie similar to what tabs would do, only allowing to see the open row), see FAQ #10.
