Does anyone know where I can find the names or Ids of the built in data field types in UF?
I'm trying to output different things depending on the type of field; I can do this: @if (f.FieldType.Name == "Checkbox") but only because I guessed what the name was
The Umbraco Forms fields are output using the partial views in Views\Partials\Forms\FieldTypes. These use the guid as the field Id and Name. There is a view for each field type.
The form itself is rendered via Views\Partials\Forms\Form.cshtml which uses FieldViewResolver.GetFieldView to choose which of the partial views to render.
This is where I am looking, in the Form.cshtml. I can do this for example; @if (f.FieldType.Name == "Checkbox") { do something }
What i can't figure out is where i get this list of "Names" from, eg this condition effects the field that uses the partial: FieldType.CheckBox.cshtml, what 'Name' would i use to put a condition on the field that uses: FieldType.DatePicker.cshtml for example?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply :)

Does that make sense?
Thanks Kerri
Kerri,
The names available are those that you see in the form designer when you choose the answer type, for example:
Each of these will correspond to one of the FieldType partial views.
I have done something very similar in my forms. If the field type is a Checkbox then I set an additional class at the outer element.

Thanks Tim, Easy if you know where to look! :)
