Good day:
I would like to create a multistep registration process.
I thought that the content_profile registration module could pull it off, but it seems that it just adds all of the different profile nodes together, to create one huge registration form.
I am looking for a better way.
So, I am contemplating writing a custom registration module, with forms which save their data in the CCK content_profile fields, because I still like the way content_profile handles the fields after they are populated.
However, I am no expert with either Forms API, or with module authorship--I am working from these: http://drupal.org/node/262422 and: http://drupal.org/node/344795
However, I know not how to manipulate the CCK content properly behind the scenes.
Can someone point me to a good reference, set of examples, etc.? The first link above does no database work whatever, and while I am competent with PHP, I am not confident with drupal internals yet.
Thanks & regards,
Luke

Before you write a custom module, have you looked into the multistep module? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but it does a nice job of separating submission forms into multiple stages.

Uh...no, I hadn't. I searched through the alphabetical list of modules, but somehow missed that one. I might have been looking for registration modules, but regardless I missed it.
It does indeed work well. I haven't tested it with user registration, where it will likely fail, but there are ways around that, so thanks.
