Hey Sean,

First you'll need to create a member picker field type, since that isn't available out of the box

For some details on creating custom fieldtypes check http://www.nibble.be/?p=89

Once that is created you should just be able to define the type in the field attribute on the code first form

Hi:

That all makes sense, are there any examples of wrapping an existing Umbraco Data type (with prevalues) in a contour field?

Any help apreciated.

Regards

Sean. 

Hi Tim

We've tried using the re-captcha fieldtype available in the contrib library but we keep getting an unknown type YSOD. Is it possible to use custom fieldtypes in code first when it inherits from FormBase and exposes only the core fields? Or have I got it wrong? lol.

Please tell me how to get it working :-)

M.

Haven't tried it but a reference to the project and then setting the type on the field attribute seems the way to go, will give it a shot

Just tried it and it works...

Download the latest contour contrib source and build

Add reference to the contour.contrib assembly in your code first project

Add property and set type setting to recaptcha fieldtype

 [Field("Leave a comment", "Your comment",
           Mandatory = true,
           Type = typeof(Contour.Contrib.FieldTypes.ReCaptcha))]
        public string Captcha { get; set; }

THen you'll need to contour contrib assembly and the recaptcha assembly on your site of course...

Hi Tim

Of course, use of correct namespaces! Doh!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Code first...Awesome BTW!

Many thanks

Martin

Hi:

Two final questions regarding code first:

First, is there a way to make a codefirst form multi-step?

Second, is there a way to prevent a forms settings being stored--there being written to the database anyway and it's sensitive data! Essentially, I don't want users to be able to view data in the record viewer.

Any help apreciated.

Cheers

Sean

Hi Tim

Your example worked it was spot on, but we've noticed that if you insert a form as a user control rather than a razor script an override for the Validate() method refuses to fire! Any particular reason why this would be the case?
