    Overriding forms sending email method

    Hi all,

    I have installed Umbraco forms and i need up override the default sending email method as I would like to use Hangfire, and also need to do some other stuff on submission of a form.

    I have tried creating a controller which inherits UmbracoFormsController and then created on override for every method, put a break point in these and then submitted a form, none of these break points were hit.

    Where am i going wrong/ could someone point me in the right direction?

    The site is running 7.13.2 assembly: 1.0.6974.19955

    Form version 7.0.6

    Here is the code i have currently:

    public class UmbracoFormsOverrideController : UmbracoFormsController
    {
        protected override IAsyncResult BeginExecute(RequestContext requestContext, AsyncCallback callback, object state)
        {
            return base.BeginExecute(requestContext, callback, state);
        }
        protected override void OnResultExecuted(ResultExecutedContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnResultExecuted(filterContext);
        }
        protected override IAsyncResult BeginExecuteCore(AsyncCallback callback, object state)
        {
            return base.BeginExecuteCore(callback, state);
        }
        protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnAuthentication(AuthenticationContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnAuthentication(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnAuthenticationChallenge(AuthenticationChallengeContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnAuthenticationChallenge(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnAuthorization(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnException(filterContext);
        }
        protected override void OnFormHandled(Form form, FormViewModel model)
        {
            base.OnFormHandled(form, model);
        }
        protected override void OnResultExecuting(ResultExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            base.OnResultExecuting(filterContext);
        }
    }
    

    Thanks, Lewis

    Hi Lewis,

    Instead of overriding the default controller. I would suggest creating a custom workflow - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Developer/Extending/Adding-a-Workflowtype

    You can then remove the default send email and use your own workflow in its place via the UI

    Matt.

    Hi Matthew,

    I have just tried this, is it possible that all forms run through this custom workflow?

    Do i have to choose this workflow on the form somehow or does the ID put in the constructor have to match the ID of the form?

    public class UmbracoFormsOverrideController : WorkflowType
    {
        public UmbracoFormsOverrideController()
        {
            this.Name = "Custom Workflow";
            this.Id = new Guid("07aaf56e-e988-4c9e-9206-a99cd80dcdbe");
            this.Description = "This will send an email using hangfire instead of default email provider.";
            this.Icon = "icon-chat-active";
            this.Group = "Hangfire";
        }
        public override WorkflowExecutionStatus Execute(Record record, RecordEventArgs e)
        {
            return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed;
        }
        public override List<Exception> ValidateSettings()
        {
            return new List<Exception>();
        }
    }
    

    I am calling the form using:

    @Umbraco.RenderMacro("renderUmbracoForm", new { FormGuid = "07aaf56e-e988-4c9e-9206-a99cd80dcdbe", FormTheme = "bootstrap3-horizontal", ExcludeScripts = "1" })
    

    This is what I have now, when loading the page with the form it hits the constructor but when submitting the form both methods are not hit...

    Thanks, Lewis
