I want a user to be able to input text and then go to another page where he/she can select which users to send the text to. But on preview, the multinput becomes empty on a new screen. How to I tie the previous screen/page’s multinput to the new screen so that a user can create a new post and select which users will receive the post?
There are a few ways to do this. Make sure you have done the “Sending data to a page” tutorial first though.
-
Don’t have a new page, but use groups on the page. Have your first input in one group, then HIDE that group, and SHOW the group with the user selection dialog.
-
Save the text somewhere temporarily, on the “User” perhaps, and then pull that back (everyone has a user, regardless of being signed in).
-
Create a skeleton “thing” on the first page, give it a status so you can pick up if someone has closed their browser between pages. Then send the thing to the second page (see tutorial).
-
Pass it in a parameter.
-
is going to be the fiddliest in terms of page set up, but it is a good way to learn about controlling group.
