feature-request: show progressbar before pagebreak

[MarvinMonotomic]

our customers often have the request to show a progress-bar inside the form.
the plugin only supports to show the steps as a navigation.

It would be a very nice extension to give the option to show the progressbar above the page-switch buttons.

I also added a wrapper for the buttons for easier styling - but this is optional

Hi, thanks for the contribution!

I don't think it makes sense to have this checkbox for every single page break element. If I have 10 steps, I want the layout to always look the same, right? Why would I have to enable this checkbox 10 times? Sounds more like it would be something that I wanted to configure for every form, not for every page break element.

So I'm asking myself what problem you are trying to solve here? You can already adjust the form_mp_form_pageswitch.html5 template to your liking. Then you get your percentage output automatically without needing to check any checkbox in the backend?

PS: You are using insert tags within a template. We never use insert tags within a template because this is PHP so we can directly pass the appropriate variables. So if anything can be done, then maybe a PR that passes those values to the template so you don't have to use insert tags like you do now?

Hi, thanks for your response.

I agree that a checkbox in the form itself would be more suitable.
But I also think that the checkbox is necessary here, because there are some occasions, where you only have two steps. In this case, i don't think you would need a progress-bar.

You are right, that i should not use insert-tags inside php, but i stumbled over this requirement and the insert was the fastest way to implement it.

I was interested, whether this feature is even wanted

In my opinion showing the progress bar or not is usually a layout decision. Not a decision the user makes. So why not just adjust your template like you did and that's it? 😊
