Going to a custom step with jQuery-steps

Question

I am using a jQuery-steps on my app to for a wizard-like situation. I am having trouble finding out how to change to a custom step though. Any help with this one?

$(function () {
    $("#wizard").steps({
        headerTag: "h2",
        bodyTag: "section",
        transitionEffect: "slideLeft",
        enableFinishButton: false,
        labels: {
            next: $('#next').html(),
            previous : $('#previous').html()

        },
        onStepChanged: function (event, currentIndex, priorIndex)
        {
            if( priorIndex == 0) {
                var selected = $('input[name=radio_wizard]:checked', '#radio_wizard').val()
                switch( selected ){
                    case 1:
                        // GOTO 1 
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        // GOTO 2 
                        break;
                    case 3:
                        // GOTO 3 
                        break;
                }
            }
      }
}

How to achieve this?

Answer 1

Basing on @AbdulJamal answer, I've implemented it for any step:

$(function () {
    var stepsWizard = $("#wizard").steps({
        ...
    });

    // step variable handles current step (from 0)
    for(var i=0; i<step; i++) {
        stepsWizard.steps("next");
    }
});

Note that step variable must be defined and equal or greater than 0.

function GotoSpecificStep(action, currentStep, number) {
    try
    {
        var stepsTogo = parseInt(currentStep) - parseInt(number);
        for (i = 1; i <= Math.abs(parseInt(stepsTogo)) ; i++) {
            if (action == "next") {
                $(".btnNext").click();
            }
            else if (action == "prev") {
                $(".btnPrevious").click();
            }
        }
    }
    catch(exception)
    {
        MsgBox(exception.message);
    }
}

I found a simple way to do this. you can use the jquery function

$("#wizard-t-2").get(0).click();

assuming you know what step you want to go to. this example would bring you to the third step of the wizard. use chromes editor to figure out what the exact id is of the step you want to go to.

Answer 4

stepsWizard = $("#wizard").steps({
        forceMoveForward : true,
        enablePagination: false,
        titleTemplate : '<span class="number">#index#.</span> #title#'
    });

stepsWizard.steps("next"); // this will send us on next step :-)

Answer 5

Created this new function:

function _goToStep(wizard, options, state, index)
{
    return paginationClick(wizard, options, state, index);
}
And the call that is not implemented, put this:

Call that is not implemented, put this:

$.fn.steps.setStep = function (step)
{

    var options = getOptions(this),
        state = getState(this);

    return _goToStep(this, options, state, index); //Index Instead step

};

wizard.steps("setStep", 1);

works just fine
