just trying to brainstorm my plan-of-attack for creating some web forms. basically, i want to create a multi-page form that has logic... for example,
page 1: "did you x, do you y, will you z"
page 2: if(x==yes){redirect_to_page3;}; if(y==yes), "when did you y"... etc

originally i though CCK + actions/workflow, but (1) how do I create a form that spans multiple pages with CCK and (2) the logic has to be editable by the client... no PHP.

any ideas on modules/approaches to use here?

ugh, drupal forums are all question no answer. anyway, for those that care, the way I've decided to go about this is using CCK and workflow-ng. While CCK sucks for building forms, workflow-ng is tied into it and provides powerful out-of-the-box workflow logic & subsequent actions (vs workflow.module + actions.module, which require you custom-build the them... non out-of-the-box workflow & actions). The alternative I was considering is webform.module, but there's no way to tie workflow-ng into it.

So to improve the shisty CCK web-forms solution, there are some modules that can make CCK feel like a web form. a tutorial to create multi-page forms, auto node-title, and of course workflow-ng. I'll post more if I find anything else that helps with creating logical web forms using CCK.
