On http://www.typo3-formhandler.com/documentation/articles-howtos/a/how-to-set-up-a-multistep-form-with-conditions/, it demonstrates how you can use conditionals to set different variables. My question is is this specific to formhandler or can this just general typoscript. Either way, if there is more documentation about this, that would be fantastic. I have something in place but it seems very convoluted and there has to be a better way to do it that the way I'm doing it. Specifically, I'm looking to set up an if, else/if, else/if, else/if, else type structure.

Hi Brian,

as Stano said, you have to write your own saveInterceptor.

The easiest way to do this:

* Create the interceptor somewhere in fileadmin (e.g. 
fileadmin/script/Tx_Formhandler_Interceptor_MyInterceptor).

* Write the PHP code:

class Tx_Formhandler_Interceptor_MyInterceptor extends 
Tx_Formhandler_AbstractInterceptor {

   public function process() {
     print $this->settings['param1'];

     return $this->gp
   }

}

* Tell Formhandler where to search for custom components:

plugin.Tx_Formhandler.settings(.predef.myForm) {
   additionalIncludePaths.1 = fileadmin/scripts/
}

* Use the class:

plugin.Tx_Formhandler.settings(.predef.myForm) {
   saveInterceptors {
     1 {
       class = Interceptor_MyInterceptor #You can omit the "Tx_Formhandler_"
       config {
         param1 = asdf
       }
     }
   }
}

As you can see, the settings made in the "config" section of the 
interceptor are available in $this->settings in the PHP code.

The submitted data is accessible in $this->gp.

Make sure the interceptor returns $this->gp or your form will not work 
anymore.

Regarding the if/else config for Formhandler:

This is no standard TypoScript code. This is for Formhandler only.

I hope this helps.

Reinhard
