That's West Yorkshire-ese for all of you! I'm starting up with doc2form and I have a silly issue. I've followed the great tutorial here: http://www.blogfodder.co.uk/post/How-To-Get-doc2form-For-Umbraco.aspx. I create a DocType for my doc2form page. I mark all of the form field properties as mandatory in adding them to the DocType. Now when I use this DocType to create a page and go to publish it, I can't. I get warned that my document is saved but I can't publish the page until all of the form properties are filled out. WTF! I thought the user filled the form out, I just create it! If anybody understands this ramble and can steer me straight, much appreciated.
You are sooooo close, but missed one detail. YOU don't create the pages, doc2form does. Instead, you create a regular page that includes the doc2form macro on it. That page will display the form to website visitors and when they fill out the form (with the mandatory fields) doc2form will create the new pages with the fields on them.
It sounds a bit convoluted until you do it once and then you'll have an 'aha!' moment and it will all make sense.
