SilverStripe MultiForm not working - php

Question

I installed and configured SilverStripe on my server. I installed the MultiForm module and followed the instructions in the module documentation.
After following the instructions I still don't see any new page type in my CMS Portal.
I also tried db/build?flush=1 & dev/build?flush=1 but it doesn't make a difference.
I Created the Following files in mysite/code/ directory
SponsorSignupForms.php
class SponsorSignupForms extends MultiForm{
protected static $start_step = 'CompanyDetailsStep';
}
CompanyDetailsStep.php
class CompanyDetailsStep extends MultiFormStep{
public static $next_steps = 'ContactDetailsStep';
function getFields()
{
$fields = singleton('Member')->getFrontendFields();
return $fields;
}
function getValidator()
{
return new Member_Validator('FirstName', 'Surname', 'Email', 'Password');
}
}
ContactDetailsStep.php
class ContactDetailsStep extends MultiFormStep{
public static $is_final_step = true;
function getFields()
{
$fields = singleton('Reference')->getFrontendFields();
return $fields;
}
}
How do I get these custom MultiForms working and appearing as creatable pages?

Answer 1

Of course you don't see any new page type in the list of available pages, you will only see subclasses of SiteTree there, MultiFormStep is "just" a subclass of DataObject.
You can plug your form to every page you want manually, but you also can create a new page type for your form and include the Form in your Controller and Template, see readme of MultiForm:
class MyFormPage extends Page
{
}
class MyFormPageController extends Page_Controller
{
//
private static $allowed_actions = array(
'SponsorSignupForms',
'finished'
);
public function SponsorSignupForms() {
return new SponsorSignupForms($this, 'Form');
}
public function finished() {
return array(
'Title' => 'Thank you for your submission',
'Content' => '<p>You have successfully submitted the form!</p>'
);
}
}
In the template just include the form:
<% if $SponsorSignupForms %>
$SponsorSignupForms
<% end_if %>
and you should see the form now.
