Hi all,

I have been working on this for some days but can't figure it out on my own.

Using the multiform module, I have 5 steps and the end results are to be emailed in one big email. The trouble I am having is all the data from setps 1,2,3 and 4 are being stored in the databse but its not included in the email, only the data from the last step is.

Here is the code;

<?php
 
class APMultiForm extends MultiForm {

   public static $start_step = 'APPersonalDetailsFormStep';
   
 public function finish($data, $form) {
 parent::finish($data, $form);
      $steps = DataObject::get('MultiFormStep', "SessionID = {$this->session->ID}");
	  
	  
		$From = "website";
		$To = "email";
		$Subject = "Subject";  	  
		$email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject);
		$email->setTemplate('AuPairEmail');
		$email->populateTemplate($data);
		$email->send();
		Director::redirect(Director::baseURL(). $this->URLSegment . "terms-and-conditions");
   }
 
}

If I change any of the steps to be the last step, then the data from that step is emailed fine.

From reading the documentation bundled with multiform (https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-multiform) you may have to pull the data from each step manually. See the code snippet on that page...

$steps = DataObject::get('MultiFormStep', "SessionID = {$this->session->ID}");
      if($steps) {
         foreach($steps as $step) {
 $data = $step->loadData();
}
}

Thanks for looking at this,

I have followed that tutorial to get the basic form working and that snippet has been included.
But I still cant get all the data into the email.
Here is the dump from the debug;

Debug (APMultiForm->finish() in line 14 of APMultiForm.php)

    * FirstName =

      q

    * Surname =

    * Address =

    * DateStart =

      q

    * Duration =

    * APNat =

    * action_finish =

      Submit

The data is being pulled from the steps, but I can't figure out how to get all steps data included in the email.

Is it someting to do with

$email->populateTemplate($data);

should it be something like

$email->populateTemplate($step->loadData());

I have tried that and it wasn't the solution.

Any ideas?

I have found a solution, it might not be elegant but it achives what i need.

<?php
 
class APMultiForm extends MultiForm {

   public static $start_step = 'APStepOne';
   
 public function finish($data, $form) {
 parent::finish($data, $form);
      $steps = DataObject::get('MultiFormStep', "SessionID = {$this->session->ID}");
	  
	  
	   if($steps) {
         foreach($steps as $step) {
		 if($step->class == 'APStepOne') {
			$dataone = $step->loadData(); }
			if($step->class == 'APStepTwo') {
			$datatwo = $step->loadData(); }
			if($step->class == 'APStepThree') {
			$datathree = $step->loadData(); }
			if($step->class == 'APStepFour') {
			$datafour = $step->loadData(); }
			if($step->class == 'APStepFive') {
			$datafive = $step->loadData(); }
			//Debug::show($step->loadData());
         }
      }
	  
		$From = "xxx@xxx.com";
		$To = "xxx@xxx.com";
		$Subject = "xxxsubjectxxx";  	  
		$email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject);
		$email->setTemplate('xxxtemplatexxx');
		$email->populateTemplate($dataone);
		$email->populateTemplate($datatwo);
		$email->populateTemplate($datathree);
		$email->populateTemplate($datafour);
		$email->populateTemplate($datafive);
		$email->send();
		Director::redirect(Director::baseURL(). $this->URLSegment . "terms-and-conditions");
   }
 
}

Why so many arrays? You could have 1 array then use array_merge to join the two (first thing that came to my head)

$output = array();
foreach($steps as $step) {
$output = array_merge($output, $step->loadData());
}

..
$email->populateTemplate($output);

I'm surprised that there isn't a method on MultiForm to do this automatically? Have you looked at the code?
