Drupal 5 Wizard API Module

Attached is a Wizard module for Drupal 5.1. It provides developers with an easy API to make wizards in their applications with a minimum of hassle.

Features include:

• Provides configurable "Back", "Next", "Finish" and "Cancel" buttons on all form pages
• Button labels are configurable, they can be enabled/disabled and made invisible
• Moving forwards and backwards in the wizard is completely automatic
• Developers only need to configure the wizard and provide validate/submit handlers
• Validate and Submit phases are greatly simplified - developers only need handle their own form elements as all wizard functionality is already handled by the module
• A generic data storage facility is provided for developers to store form data between pages

Note: Drupal 5.1 has some serious limitations related to validation of multistep forms (bug report). This limitation makes Wizards of limited use (especially with text fields). Also, checkboxes are problematic in Drupal 5.1 (bug report), but workarounds are provided by the wizard module.

An example module (gandalf) is provided to demonstrate the wizard functionality (as wizard.module does nothing on it's own!).
