Hi Mohammed and welcome to our :)

What does the error you're getting specifically say? And could you perhaps post some screendumps that displays what you're doing? Just want to make sure I get what you're up to.

Sorry, my explanation was confusing. On the FormType document type, I created a property called content. So when I create any page from that document type, I put in the macro that contains the form partial view. Now on the front end, I just get an error saying "Error loading partial view XXXX.cshtml". No specific error about why the view is breaking and cannot load. Even the console in the browser is blank. So my question is more about, is this a good way to create forms or can someone suggest a better way so that I can create one document type and multiple forms from that document type in Umbraco.

Thanks for your help

Hi Mohammed

Ok, could you try having a look in the /App_Data/Logs file? It should contain a stack trace about the error somewhere. Please post that in here :)

Hi,

Sorry, its on my other machine, will post it as soon as I get home.

Thanks Jan

Hi,

Here is the Stacktrace from the log file:

015-02-18 19:14:37,784 [9] WARN  umbraco.macro - [Thread 11] Error loading partial view macro (View: ~/Views/MacroPartials/Register.cshtml).

I have seen this error before I know how to resolve it in a normal scenario but in this case I created a document type called "FormType". In the document type, I creaed a property called Content of type Richtext Editor. In this field I insert a macro above. This is where I am getting this error. Is there a way I can pass in the model or is there a better way to do this?

Thank you

Hi Mohammed

Ok, what does your macro code look like? You probably just need to inherit the model in the macro I guess.

Hi Jan

My partial view looks like:

@model MVCUmbracoFreelance.Models.RegisterFreelancer

@using (Html.BeginUmbracoFormAccountSurfaceController>("Register", null, new { @id = "registerform", @class = "form-gray-fields validate" }, FormMethod.Post))

{

}

In Umbraco, I create a macro and use this partial view above.

Thanks Jan

Hi Mohammed

Aaah, good you managed to figure it out and thanks for sharing so it's easy for others to figure out what worked for you if they have the same issue. You should mark your last post as the solution so others can go straight to it :)
