Hi,
Calcbuilder is a module, so if you need a several step calculator you will need to use php session code, or javascript code.

- For linking calculators accross multiple pages. You would place two different calculators in two different pages, and a link to the second one at the result section of the first. At the first calculator code you need to store the values at php session, in order you can recover them at the code of the second one and print them at the output, include them at the email...etc. Here more detailed information about sessions use.

- For using a single calculator with the two steps at the same page. You can include your input form into two different divs. Give them two different ids, and style the second one as display:none. Now add a button to 'travel' to the second one, it should hide the first div, and show the second one.

As this could be interesting for many users, we'll add in the next days a new example at the download section 'Two steps calculator', that can be used as template and to check how this type of calculator can be built.


About the calendar, you have the type 'date', that displays a calendar to choose one date, please remember to configure the date format preferred at your calculator configuration in order to have it working properly.


Hope this helps, regards

Just realized there was already an example at download section of a calculator with several steps (and transition effects). Also added a more simple one with just two steps that you can also download from your customer area an use as template.

Hope this helps, regards
