Pro form steps (actions/checks)

How To
1

A general question regarding the pro-form steps:
How can I integrate custom checks (PHP functions) or actions?
Let’s assume I want to create a login form that includes an OTP part.

multi-step-form

  • step 1a: enter username + password + mobile phone nr in the form fields (step 1)
  • step 1b: On click on the NEXT button, a REST API call shall be triggered
    (this will e.g. send an SMS and store the OTP on the server, using transients)
  • step 1c: ONLY if the restAPI call returns an OK the step - next-btn function shall go on and opens the second step (otherwise an error message shall appear).
  • step 2a: user will enter the received OTP in the next step
  • step 2b: on click of send btn the now entered SMS will be checked via an restAPI function
  • step 2c: ONLY if the restAPI call returns OK, the form shall be sent to the server (otherwise error message)

This is only one example. Conditions (Bricksbuilder or Bricksforge) seem not to be the right way. What’s the best recommendation?

As there is no answer, I guess this is not possible using Bricksforge?

That is not possible with steps. However, I wouldn’t solve your requirement with steps anyway, but rather with individual Pro Forms instances.

Visually, you can make it look as if they are steps. When the form is submitted, you can use a “Custom” action, in which you can write your own PHP code.

As a result, you could, for example, send an email with further information and, for instance, the link to the next form, which would represent the next step in your case.

Ahh, yes - this could be a good solution.
I’ll check that, thanks!
