We've just upgraded an Umbraco instance from 4.7.0 to 4.7.2 and in the process have done a manual upgrade of Contour from 1.1.9 to 1.1.12.
We've hit a problem that we can't delete forms from Contour. We get the following error pop up in the speech buble after OKing the delete....
Error handling action
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
If you look inside firebug you get the following
/umbraco/webservices/legacyajaxcalls.asmx/Delete
{"Message":"Object reference not set to an instance of an object.","StackTrace":" at umbraco.presentation.create.dialogHandler_temp.Delete(String NodeType, Int32 NodeId, String Text)\r\n at umbraco.presentation.webservices.legacyAjaxCalls.Delete(String nodeId, String alias, String nodeType)","ExceptionType":"System.NullReferenceException"}
I was able to delete forms on the old instance with 4.7.0 and 1.1.9 and it worked fine.
It turns out this wasn't a problem with the templates or the instance at all. We are still struggling to modify contour forms in anyway. We cannot create, delete or save any changes.
We got a new error when we tried to create a form which is below. I have looked at the UI.xml as indicated by the error and I have compared to an instance where contour is working correctly and I can see no differences.
Any help greatly appreacted.

You might need to look in the /config/trees.config and see if everything is allright in there - It can cause this issue I think. Also of course make sure that your ui.xml is not corrupted.

I think this isn't a Contour problem but a problem with the our Umbraco instance in general as we also can't delete templates

Yeah... well as errors go that was a pretty good one, as it was being caused by /umbraco/config/create/UI.xml
Hi Paul
I have the same error with my Contour - What did you do to fix it? :)
Best regards Rasmus

I found a old website where Contour was working - made a copy of trees.config and ui.xml
Inserted the copy into the website where the delete error was, and now its working.
Thanks :)
Hi Rasmus
Very happy to hear that.
Happy contouring ;-)

is working on a reply...
