Not even a way to lock a Record, so it never gets overwritten?

Hmm sure you are using the razor macro to output the form, that one shouldn't even use the cookie

That explains only one thing I've been wondering about. OK, yes there is no cookie set when I use the Razor macro.

That still leaves me with the previous problem, so apparently I didn't hit mark with the topic of this thread. My calculator workflow keeps on spitting out a 0 as a sum, no matter what I do. In the backend I can see the values though, so they must reach the database somehow, just not my workflow. I tried debugging, which is a pain since it seems I can't log anything and I can't send myself any emails from this workflow (don't ask me why), even if I use the sourcecode of the email-workflow and copy-paste it. The workflow just crashes and stops being executed. So I am currently clueless on how to proceed.

I receive all the values for processing without problem when using the Usercontol macro. However this one in turn has the problem of auto-resuming forms, what is undesireable in my case. Also I'm not sure, if just rooting for the Razor macro and trying to find a solution in the code is a good idea, as with coming releases of Contour the cookies will be enabled and bam I will have the same problem I'm having right now with the Usercontrols. So the best way for me seems to find out now how to disable auto-resume in general.

Any thoughts?

It's due to a change in Contour, the calc method needs to be updated, I can provide a snippet tomorrow

Here is the updated snippet

   foreach (RecordField rf in record.RecordFields.Values)

            {

                if (rf.Field.FieldType.GetType() == typeof (Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers.FieldTypes.RadioButtonList))

                {

                    if (rf.Values.Count > 0)

                    {

                        var pvkey = pvs.GetAllPreValues(rf.Field).First(p => p.Value == rf.Values[0].ToString()).Id;

                        if (scores.ContainsKey(pvkey.ToString()))

                            score += scores[pvkey.ToString()];

                    }

                }

Great, thanks a bunch! That seems to work now.

But what should I do when in a future version the razor macro actually sets cookies?

Another question I have now is, did something in the mail-workflow change, too? I didn't really look into it, but I somehow can't send emails anymore from my workflow.

Not even like this:

System.Net.Mail.MailMessage m = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
m.From = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(umbraco.UmbracoSettings.NotificationEmailSender);
m.Subject = "test";
m.IsBodyHtml = true;

m.To.Add("[email protected]");
m.Body = "<p>booyaa</p>";

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient s = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
s.Send(m);

Thanks for the help!

Nope nothing changed in the mail workflow make sure you have an smtp server setyp and that the umbraco.UmbracoSettings.NotificationEmailSende is a valid email address

Ok, I'll check this.

However we have a slight setback to the initial problem. The customer who runs the Umbraco installation which should receive the new workflow is a 4.7.11 and it won't swallow the Razor script. (Could not find namespace Mvc)

The only way for us is to render the macro via Usercontrols..

You should be able to just add the mvc assembly to make it work

You mean I should copy over the Umbraco.Forms.Mvc.dll ?

We tried that and it crashed the system. Wasn't able to render any XSLT files anymore. The system crashed immediatly when trying to execute, save or create an XSLT file.

Any details on the error?

I can't put the dll into the live server again, too risky. So I tried making a copy of the folder structure and the database, but somehow the frontend won't render. So the only detailed error I can give you is the one I get when the Umbraco.Forms.Mvc.dll is in the bin folder and I try to create an XSLT file:

the day before yesterday, when I copied the dll into the live server I only received "Error parsing XSLT" messages on the frontend wherever an XSLT-macro should have been rendered.

is working on a reply...
