    Hello dear ModXers!

    I'm familiar with Evo's various form-filling addons, but I'm looking for something quite specific.

    Can anyone help me come up with a solution?

    Basically, I need to make an online job application form.

    The only problem is that the form itself is quite long - the kind that might take an evening for the user to fill-in... hence, I need something that is a little more robust than a simple complete-and-send form.

    Something that perhaps supports pagination, save state and return at a later date, perhaps with some page indexing, so the user can go back to a given section and retry.

    Obviously something with some form of validation built-in.

    If anyone is familiar with HMRC tax return form (UK online tax completion) - something with a similar usability feel to that. (Not that the form itself doesn't fill me with horror wink )

    Is this a job for a heavily-customised version of eForm (*dread*) or are there other options that might suit this better?

    Ta!

      See https://forums.modx.com/board?board=91. It's the first stickied thread in the eForm section!!! You will find other threads if you search.

      Personally though I would code something from scratch, but that depends on your PHP skills. If you read the above and compare what's involved with what's involved in writing something from scratch you have your answer.
