Hey Mikkel,

Have you checked out the sourcecode for the default providers? Maybe that has some snippets that can help you can find it here http://our.umbraco.org/FileDownload?id=5060

 

Thanks Tim,

I will check it out asap :-)

However I am a bit confused on where to put the class that contains the workflow and its methods in order to make my umbraco website / contour form execute that given class.

Thanks Tim, 

That was just what I was looking for! :-)

Cheers,

Mikkel

Sorry to interupt you once more, Tim.

It doesn't seem that my custom workflow type is being loaded into the API? - I have followed your instructions (compile, copy/paste the assembly to the bin folder) however it doesn't show up in the dropdownlist along with the default ones?

/Mikkel

Mind sharing the code?

namespace SomeProjectName.Library.Helpers

{

    public class PostFormToUrlExtended : WorkflowType

    {

        [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Url", description = "Enter the url to post to", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.TextField")]

        public string Url { get; set; }

 

        [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Method", description = "POST or GET", prevalues = "POST,GET,PUT,DELETE", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Dropdownlist")]

        public string Method { get; set; }

 

        [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Fields", description = "Map the needed fields", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.FieldMapper")]

        public string Fields { get; set; }

 

        [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("User", description = "(optional)", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.TextField")]

        public string Username { get; set; }

 

        [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Password", description = "(optional)", control = "Umbraco.Forms.Core.FieldSetting.Password")]

        public string Password { get; set; }

 

        public PostFormToUrlExtended() {

            this.Id = new Guid("FD02C929-4E7D-4f90-B9FA-13D074A76688");

            this.Name = "Post form to url";

            this.Description = "Posts the form to a url, either as POST or GET";

        }

 

        public override List<Exception> ValidateSettings() {

            List<Exception> l = new List<Exception>();

 

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Url))

                l.Add(new Exception("'Url' setting has not been set"));

 

            return l;

        }

 

        public override WorkflowExecutionStatus Execute(Record record, RecordEventArgs e) {

 

            string[] _fields = Fields.Split(';');

 

            WebClient client = new WebClient();

            using (client) {

                NameValueCollection values = new NameValueCollection();

 

                if (_fields.Length > 0) {

                    foreach (string field in _fields) {

                        string[] vals = field.Split(',');

                        if (vals.Length == 3) {

 

                            string value = "";

                            string alias = vals[0];

 

                            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(vals[2]))

                                value = vals[2];

                            else

                            {

 

                                var rf = record.RecordFields[new Guid(vals[1])];

 

                                value = rf.ValuesAsString();// string.Join(",", record.RecordFields[new Guid(vals[1])].Values.ConvertAll<string>(val => val.ToString()).ToArray());

                            }

 

                            values.Add(alias, value);

                        }

                    }

                    /*

                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Password) && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(UserName))

                        client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, Password);

                    */

 

 

                } else {

                    foreach (RecordField rf in record.RecordFields.Values) {

                        values.Add(rf.Field.Caption.Replace(" ", ""), rf.ValuesAsString());

                    }

                }

 

 

                client.UploadValues(Url, Method, values);

            }

 

           return WorkflowExecutionStatus.Completed;

        }

 

    }

}

that is the workflow type, and it is located inside my class library which is being compiled and updated everytime I build ..

 

/Mikkel

Think you'll need a new id since it's copied from the original workflow type

 this.Id = new Guid("FD02C929-4E7D-4f90-B9FA-13D074A76688");

So make sure the change to guid to something else then it should show up

Well that sure did the trick! I was kinda sure that it was something that obvious lol.. Anyways, thanks again for the help, Tim! :-)
