I have a form on my site which just takes in information, name, email and a message. I can view the submitted information in Entries and export as required. I also have a Workflow set up to email me when a form is submitted. This does not work at all. I set up the workflow like in the Umbraco.tv video. Any ideas? Do I need to buy a licence? I thought one came free, bit confused about that.
You need to set up a valid email address in the /config/umbracoSettings.config as well where it says [email protected] - Also double check that your SMTP settings in the web.config are setup correctly.
If these things are in place it might be worth checking the /App_Data/Logs files and see if there is any related errors.
This should work and not require a license - However it will only work on your localhost. In order to use Contour in production you'll need to buy a license.
I set up a valid email address in /config/umbracoSettings.config where it said [email protected]. Over in web.config I added my username and password for the same email address. The network host is my own network adapter 127.0.0.1. The log files only show previous errors! But it still doesn't work...
That looks like a handy tool for testing emails - thanks.

Hmm, yeah that is really odd - Not sure what the issue could be. What does the error messages say? I don't recall or see them being posted in the previous post? :)
Just checked there is an error from yesterday, [Thread 1]Determining hash of code files on disk. That's it.
The project I'm using is a little test site I built earlier on this year, maybe I'll just make another one and start again, its only for testing for an intranet I'm building. Currently I'm just doing the research and tyre kicking!
Just tried another form in case it might decide to work - irrational but optimistic! Nope, and now my entries have all vanished. It knows there are 25 entries, so I just tried one more and yes the counter incremented to 26, but they are still invisible. Maybe I should upgrade now to 4.1.1, grant you yesterday it hadn't upgraded after about 20 minutes, maybe today....feeling optimistic!!
I checked again and yes there was a user error (ahem!!) The latest errors are at the bottom of the page, I never went to the bottom, assumed the latest were on top! Doh! So yes it is a problem with my google mail. Hopefully I'll get the smtp settings tomorrow!
No email on form submission

A handy tool for testing that e-mails are being sent is https://smtp4dev.codeplex.com/
Hope this makes sense and helps.

Hi Jan
I think I'm going mad! I used the smtp tool and it showed up the 'missing' emails. They are going somewhere! Hmmm.....the plot thickens....

Hi Tony
Yeah it's important to always look through the logs carefully :)
Looking forward to hear if you succeed with the setup.

Hi Jan
WOO! HOO!!

Thanks.
