I am using the jQuery.steps plugin (http://www.jquery-steps.com/) to guide the users in an internal webpage.
So far so good, now I am facing a little issue, I do have 5 Steps at the moment, what I need to achieve now is: If in the first step a special value from a dropdown is selected, I have to skip the steps 2 and 4 since these are not required at this moment.
Do you guys may have any solution for this?
I hope you get my question and please let me know if you do need additional information.
Thanks!
In the jquery.steps.js
add class to <ul role=\"tablist\" class=\"tablist\"></ul>
(line 1037)
change functions goToNextStep
& goToPreviousStep
to
var length_custom;
function goToNextStep(wizard, options, state)
{
length_custom = $('ul.tablist li.skip').length;
var newIndex = increaseCurrentIndexBy(state, 1);
var anchor = getStepAnchor(wizard, newIndex),
parent = anchor.parent(),
isSkip = parent.hasClass("skip");
if(isSkip){
goToStep(wizard, options, state, newIndex + length_custom)
}else{
return paginationClick(wizard, options, state, newIndex);
}
}
function goToPreviousStep(wizard, options, state)
{
var newIndex = decreaseCurrentIndexBy(state, 1);
var anchor = getStepAnchor(wizard, newIndex),
parent = anchor.parent(),
isSkip = parent.hasClass("skip");
if(isSkip){
goToStep(wizard, options, state, newIndex - length_custom)
}else{
return paginationClick(wizard, options, state, newIndex);
}
}
Then add these functions at the bottom of your file
$.fn.steps.skip = function (i) {
var wizard = this,
options = getOptions(this),
state = getState(this);
if (i < state.stepCount) {
var stepAnchor = getStepAnchor(wizard, i);
stepAnchor.parent().addClass("skip");
refreshSteps(wizard, options, state, i);
}
};
$.fn.steps.unskip = function (i) {
var wizard = this,
options = getOptions(this),
state = getState(this);
if (i < state.stepCount) {
var stepAnchor = getStepAnchor(wizard, i);
stepAnchor.parent().removeClass("skip");
refreshSteps(wizard, options, state, i);
}
};
Now, initialize which step you want to skip
$("#wizard").steps('skip', index);
$("#wizard").steps('skip', index);// if you want to skip more than one step
$("#wizard").steps('skip', index);// if you want to skip more than one step
Disable skip
$("#wizard").steps('unskip', index);
$("#wizard").steps('unskip', index);// if you want to unskip more than one step
$("#wizard").steps('unskip', index);// if you want to unskip more than one step
There are events called onStepChanging
, onStepChanged
which could be passed to the form.steps
. You can write a function to validate your form and steps in that and based on the currentIndex,newIndex
you can trigger the next tab.
