    Hi,

    I was hoping for some help with some code or an idea how I would add this to my site.
    Basically i have a multi step form over 3 pages. when the user gets to the end page I want them not to be able to return to the 2nd page for at least 5-10mins.

    so basically the event looks like this

    (page1 – page2 – complete.)

    once the user is on complete, i don’t want them to be able to click return back to page 2.
    but if they want, they can return to home page and start all over again.

    I would appreciate some help if this is possible.

    Thanks.

    I think it’s possible, but there could be some clever workaround a knowledgeable user could use that I’m unaware of. Probably the easiest way is to have page 2 requests redirect to home if the referring page is not page 1. This could be done with a bit of custom PHP code which hooks the “request” action to do the checks. The page should also send a no-cache header so the page is not cached in the browser.
