Multistep Nodeform

For each step you can define which fields should be included in this step. "Fields" includes core-fields like "Title", "Body" or "Authoring information" as well as fields defined by other modules (e.g. Date).

Dependencies

Drupal 7

• Chaos tools suite: http://drupal.org/project/ctools
• "Field UI" (core module): optional / should be enabled to configure steps manually

Drupal 6

None (though CCK is highly recommended).

Compatibility with other modules

Display Suite

Due to some architectural decisions MSNF unfortunately is not compatible with Display Suite. This may eventually change in Drupal 8.

Known problems

Drupal 7

Hierarchical select

Hierarchical select is not working at the moment if you get back to a step with a hierarchical select element (the element is not restored properly). This can be solved by applying the patch attached to #1585824-3: when editing node HS forgets taxonomy term path.

Pathauto

Pathauto currently exposes a field named "URL path settings" on the "Manage fields" tab. Unfortunately this field does nothing (the field itself remains within the vertical tabs) and should not be attached to a step.
See #1244470: "Path module form elements" as an "extra field" on "Manage fields" page makes no sense for the issue in the pathauto issue queue or #1894468-6: Step label appearing at bottom of each form step for an in-depth description of the problem in Multistep Nodeform.

Drupal 6

Conditional fields are currently working on the first step of a node form only because the needed Javascript is only added once (#350411: Validation and Javascript not being added). The linked issue contains a patch which fixes this behavior so you can use Conditional fields with Multistep Nodeform.
