[#5091] Request: improve multi tab registration

9 years 2 months ago - 9 years 2 months ago #259067 by Freshpage
On the step by step registration it should be possible to switch between the tabs by clicking on them. At the very least it should be possible to go back and review previous steps in this way. The confusion is confounded by the fact that the cursor gives visual clues that the tabs are clickable.

Alternatively, the tabbed registration system should be improved to add "Previous" and "Next" buttons. Currently each tab only has a "sign up" button, which users are obviously going to click after completing the first tab, resulting in lots of validation errors being created on the other tabs.

I have had many reports of users of live sites becoming extremely confused and frustrated by this problem.

No, that doesn't make any sense for step by step. Its navigation is purely with previous and next.

Was able to confirm. That'd be a styling bug and will fix for next build. They should not show visual cues as if they're clickable.

No, that again doesn't make sense and is crossing features with step by step. Tabbed registration mimics profile edit except on registration. It doesn't use steps and it doesn't restrict you to a specific tab. It is possible however to use a Custom HTML field and create previous/next links on tabs, but you'd run into issues with plugin tabs not allowing fields like CBSubs Subscription tab. At any rate the HTML for this is as follows.

Previous:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="cbTabNavPrevious">Previous</a>

Next:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="cbTabNavNext">Next</a>
