Resuming partially submitted forms

I've recently found myself as the developer for a previously developed Contour application where I work. Currently, if a form has been partially submitted, it is not possible for the user to resume it. It would be possible for our users to start and not complete a few forms at a time, so what I'd like to do is when they log in, list their incomplete forms and allow them to resume them.

I can get it to list any forms that are not complete. My question is, how do I then take that information and direct them to complete the form?

I've looked through the developer documentation but I can't find anything of use in there. I've search Google and also can't find anything there!

Any pointers in a general direction would be much appreciated! My installed version of Contour is 3.0.4 and my site is MVC.

Thanks in advance.

If it's of any importance, this is how I'm getting my list:

var allEntries = Library.GetRecordsFromForm("MY-GUID");
var memberKey = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey.ToString();
var entries = allEntries.Items.Where(i => i.MemberKey.ToString() == memberKey).ToList();
                    
<ul>
   @foreach (var record in entries)
   {
      <li>
         <span>@record.Id - @record.State</span>
      </li>
   }
</ul>

Hey Sarah,

In the current WIP version 3.0.8 you can provide a record id to the form and then edit the record

So you could upgade to http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/3.0.8%20WIP/

And then simply pass the record id to the page containing the form ?recordGuid=GUID

Thanks Tim, will that version of Contour work with my version of Umbraco? I'm on 4.11.1 currently.

Ok, I thought that might be the case! Thanks for trying anyway :) I'll try updating to 6 and installing the 3.0.8 update.

Hi Tim,

I've updated to v6 now and I'm trying to install the UmbracoContour_3.0.8 WIP_update.zip but I'm getting the following error when trying to load the package. Any ideas why I'm getting this?

Yeah that's because it's not a package, just an archive follow upgrade instructions here: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Installation/Upgrade (basically just an xcopy)

Yep that did it and I can confirm the ?recordGuid= is working for me now. Thanks for your help Tim.

I'm just replicating the upgrade process on my test environment. I've copied the WIP 3.0.8 files in for Contour but now when signing in and going the Contour dashboard, I'm getting the following. Any ideas why this might be happening? Firebug isn't reporting any Javascript problems.

Hi Tim,

is there a way to get the recordGuid parameter to work with umbraco v4? I'm using contour v3.0.6, and I need to include the form rendering razor macro in my templates because I've to implement conditional logic between fields (the usercontrol macro doesn't support conditional logic if I'm not wrong) and at the same time I need to resume partially submitted forms.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Matteo
