Tricky Form Queueing Question

[gambhir]

On my application, I have a form. Based on a quantity number that the user enters of that form, the user must then fill an additional form in the quantity stated on the forst form. The user must remain in that loop until all of the 2nd forms are completed.

Does anyone have an idea how this would look in its code structure?

You set session variables, containing the total number of forms needed to be filled and a counter.

The most simple way is to do this...

eg. When the first form (one that decides how many forms to be filled) is submitted, do something like...

<CFSET Session.NumToBeFilled = 5>


Before the second form (SecondForm.CFM) is displayed, check if counter is still less than the NumToBeFilled

<CFIF NOT ISDEFINED(&quot;Session.Counter&quot>
<CFSET Session.Counter = 0>
</CFIF>

<CFIF Session.Counter LT Session.NumToBeFilled>
.... display form
<CFELSE>
.... display finished filling out forms
</CFIF>


On the form update,
<CFSET Session.Counter = Session.Counter + 1>
<CFLOCATION URL=&quot;SecondForm.cfm&quot;>


Hope this helps.
