Using the razor macro?

Yup using the razor macro.

Is there something extra I need to add to the razor macro string? or is there some sort of problem with the razor macro?  So I use some other sort of method?

Nope might be a bug, looking into it :) it does work with the usercontrol one so might be something that isn't included, looking into it now

Hi Tim,

Any progress on this for me please?

I have tried using the usercontrol menthod, and I just get an error message saying "Umbraco Contour will only work properly if placed inside a <form runat="server"> tag.".

I referred to this post, but it's not really helping me, The solutions instructions are a little on the light side.

We purchased Contour as a simple solution for our customers to add forms to their site, but it's not working out that way, every corner we turn there is a new problem.

Yup looking into it this week, so solution available today/tomorrow

Yeah usercontrol one is only usefull when running in webforms mode and I suppose you are running in mvc mode?

Thanks that will be great, the sooner the better for the solution thanks.

With reference to the MVC mode, not I am in webforms mode I think (from /config/umbracoSettings.config):

<templates>

    <!-- If you want to switch to Mvc then do NOT change useAspNetMasterPages to false -->

    <!-- This (old!) setting is still used to control how macros are inserted into your pages -->

    <useAspNetMasterPages>true</useAspNetMasterPages>

    <!-- To switch the default rendering engine to MVC, change this value from WebForms to Mvc -->

    <!-- Do not set useAspNetMasterPages to false, it is not relevant to MVC usage -->

    <defaultRenderingEngine>WebForms</defaultRenderingEngine>

  </templates>

Is there some other problem relating to using the usercontrol?

OK, I think I have found the problem relating to the usercontrol problem, and I have raised it as a bug here, I am obviously more interested for my client in the other original problem being resolved please.

Thanks

Hi Tim,

OK after a week of messing around I have figured out what was going on.

There was empty partial data being stored because my customer had created an empty step. So no data stored at this time.  Then the customer that we using the form were not completing all of the required fields, and were ignoring the error message telling them they needed to complete it.  So data not stored at the next point.

So problem one not a bug, just silly.  This has been corrected by collecting contact details on the first step, so if there are issues further on with the form, we can contact them.  These are now also the only requied fields.

Bug 2, I am afraid, there is still a bug with auto resume on the razor version.  It just doesn't auto resume.  So one for you too look at still.

However, it is one I have worked around for my purposes.  I will post details of what I did directly after this.

So thanks Tim, your pointer go me going in the right direction, and I got a working solution figured out.  I can see you have had your hands full doing some contour mods for umbraco 7.

OK how I worked around not being able to auto resume forms in countour (the razor version).

Firstly (and this is important) on the first step of the form I collect the users email address.

Then from the advance section of the workflows, I add under partially submitted "send an email when partially submitted".

In the email field I enter {Email} (Email being the name of my field on the form)

Then I add this link to the message http://www.yourdomain.com/yourformname/?recordGuid={record.id}

Obviously there are other bits to fill in as normal, but you get the gist.

WHAT THIS DOES

It sends an email to the user, containing a link allowing them to complete/ammend the form at a later date. Very useful if your customer need to edit their details in a contour form.

I hope this is easy to follow, and I hope it save someone time creating a link back to editing a contour form.

is working on a reply...
