    Converting a Contact form asp.net build in dreamweaver to umbraco

    Hi,

     

    Anyone can tell me the way to make a contact form in umbraco??..rather than Contour??

    I already did one in Dreamweaver which works perfectly with all the validations and confirmation page.

    Hi Fuji

    This can be done in many different ways depending on your skills.

    I don't know how Dreamweaver is wokring with .net files, but you should be able to create and build your own form in visual studio express and then just copy over the user control and create a macro based on it. If there's a .dll file this must be copied over as well.

    It could also be done using XSLT in combination with some JavaScript for validation.

    You could perhaps also just have a look at some of the packages that are free to use like Cultiv Contact Form for instance.

    Hi Fuji

    I'm not sure how to do that. Have you created your own form or are you using one the form packages?

    Jan,

     

    Sorry was quite busy on some other projects, i got it working where an email is sent to the submitter and one to the administrator ti tell him someone has submitted a comment.

    By doing here and there i got it to work, but can you tell me how do i retrireve the Senders Name from the Input field?

     

    Lets say the submiiter Enters "Jan Skovgaard".....then on submit he receives an auto generated email saying " Dear Jan Skovgaard thank you for your enquiries...."

    Hi Fuji

    It depends how you have built the form and how you're controling the e-mail template.

    Is this all going on in Umbraco or are you using a 3. part e-mail service?

    If you're using your own template for the e-mail and keep it in Umbraco I guess it should be possible for you to make a request for the value in the submitters input field.
