My client is using a form to manage drink orders. How do I setup so that users can submit multiple orders.

Depends on the what/how? Can you just add a quantity field? Or maybe you need a repeater with drink options in a drop-down?

I need to be able to have the form active after every submission. A client needs to be able to make multiple orders throughout their stay

So then someone is ordering multiple items over multiple days and would pay a bill at the end of a stay?

Christine Smit replied 2 years ago

Yes that's right. Is that possible?

Bobby Clapp replied 2 years ago

Seems like it, but something would have to indicate the end date of stay. You might then need to trigger some actions based off that if you are using payment methods through addons. You might need a certain level plan. If not, you will have to do some of that manually. My method is a bit more complex than I'd ramble off in these forums, but basically you'd keep a running total based on some unique key, like email address or something like that. Then you'd filter a view based on that unique key for that user. Sounds like you might need to get a thrid-party developer involved which would involve their fees.

all i want really is to have the form available again after submission. Seems to be limited to one entry per user.

Bobby Clapp replied 2 years ago

Then there is a setting or code doing that.

Thanks Bobby. I did however already see this page. My Limit no of entries is Disabled, yet i can only submit a form once.

Bobby Clapp replied 2 years ago

Does the form disappear after submission or are you getting an error?

Christine Smit replied 2 years ago
