So I've created a form with a few fields, and all the fields appear correctly in the admin, however, when I click the preview button, I get a page that says "Notice: This is a fully functional version of your form and will act as any normal form would. Complete with workflows and datastorage," and nothing else.
If I embed the form into a page via the RTE, the fields kinda/sorta display in the RTE itself, but on the published page I only see a next & previous button, and nothing else where the form should be.
If I embed the form into a template via <umbraco:macro />, I get the same result - no form, but next / previous buttons.
Some simple things I've already checked: the RTE field is displayed w/ an <umbraco:Item /> tag in the page template, and other macros work in that field. I do have the required <form runat="server" /> surrounding the page. Contour doesn't appear to be in trial mode (at least, it doesn't display a trial-mode message on the admin side).
Any ideas on other things I can try, or places I can look for more information about what's going wrong? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the response. That's correct; in the preview, I see only a message about it being a fully functioning form, but nothing below that. If I view source on the preview page, I don't see anything even resembling a form:
<body><divid="uformNotice"><em>Notice:</em> This is a fully functional version of your form and will act as any normal form would. Complete with workflows and datastorage. </div></body>
(I cut out the head & enclosing HTML tags)
I suspect something is wrong with the installation. For whatever reason, attempting to install from the package manager didn't work for me (just didn't do anything at all), so I followed the manual install document instead (from UmbracoContour_3.0.2_Manual_Install.zip), but it seems to have some errors. For example, on page 7 you add some XML to the dashboard configuration, but that XML references ContactForm_logs.ascx and EmailaFriendForm_logs.ascx, neither of which exist in files.zip. Not sure if those files are missing and should be there, or just hold-overs from a previous version and shouldn't be in the XML.
So I wonder if there's a file or configuration setting missing, but the exception is being caught somehwere? I don't see any obvious smoking guns in the umbracoLog table.
That fixed it. The install doc tells you to create a macro, but it's apparently not the one this version is expecting. Any chance of getting an updated/corrected install doc so I can double check that I don't have anything else missing?

Whoops, I forgot to mention versions: I'm running Umbraco 4.9.0 and Contour 3.0.2, if that helps.
Thanks.

Hey Bob,
So in preview you don't see the form?
Tim,

Ok try adding a new macro
Alias umbracoContour.RazorRenderForm
SCript file set to MvcRenderContourForm.cshtml
With 1 param alias FormGuid or type form picker
That fixed it. The install doc tells you to create a macro, but it's apparently not the one this version is expecting. Any chance of getting an updated/corrected install doc so I can double check that I don't have anything else missing?
Thanks again!
