Background:
I have 7 fieldgroups with a number of fields in each, some required, some optional. I direct people to this after they have registered but not as part of the Joomla user user registration process.
It's essential to be sure that all user profile data required is completed before they can use our site.
Since I've just started using this component, it's possible I am missing something but here are two issues that are a problem:
The problems I have run into:
- Within a fieldgroup, required fields show an error if they are not filled in. However, there is nothing that ensures a user complete all the fieldgroups. This means there can have many required fields that are not filled in.
- The Terms and Conditions is in it's own fieldgroup. The field is required but a user can leave the fieldgroup it is in without completing it just by clicking cancel. Once checked, it can't be changed but being able to ignore it and leave the page without acknowledging it defeats the purpose of having it. I did note that the fieldgroup set this filed as required but also included it in Registration. Would that have caused this behavior?
How can this system be configured to ensure that all field groups have no required fields incomplete once a user starts editing?
If this is currently not possible, would it be possible to modify the functionality of the "Save" button on a multi-filedgroup form to "Next" that saves the current data and then opens the next field group in turn or some similar strategy?
Thanks
