You can do it just as you normally create a form, and then you just redirect the user from one to another, and you save the information into session, and in the end of your multiform save the information 🙂 ---

But Jamal I have to apply validation on each step of form and each step contains data to save in more than one table . So multi model save is required.So can u suggest how to apply a multi model validation on each step. Thanx in advance On Sep 7, 8:53 pm, Jamal S.

hmm, did you try to look at the documentation to see if you can validate without having to save into the database? ---

You could also just save to the database, but have a extra column at the end with a “Registration Complete” boolean value? Christian… ---

I have seen the same problem in a big project I have worked on for the past 7 months. We also saved intermediate information from the forms (it is s three step signup process) in sessions. For validation we just wrote our own validation code and completely disregarded the built-in rails validation.
