Not seen this one before, will try to repro, 

Is this on umbraco v4/V6/V7 ?

Hi Tim,

Umbraco: 6.1.6
Contour: 3.0.19

Here's a screencast from a brand new installation of Umbraco/Contour: http://screencast.com/t/zHm3K5vzv86u

It's a really basic codefirst form, just the 2 fields. In my other project I have a custom form field which I first suspected was the culprit, but this confirms it's not that.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core;
using Umbraco.Forms.CodeFirst;
using Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers.FieldTypes;
using Umbraco.Forms.Data.Storage;
using System.Configuration;

namespace WebApplication1.Definitions
{
    [Form("LoginForm", ShowValidationSummary = false,
        DisableDefaultStylesheet = true,
        StoreRecordsLocally = false)]
    public class LoginForm : FormBase
    {
        [Field("Log in", "", Caption = "Email Address",
            Mandatory = true,
            Regex = @"(\w[-._\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})")]
        public string Username { get; set; }

        [Field("Log in", "",
            Type = typeof(Password),
            Mandatory = true)]
        public string Password { get; set; }

        public override IEnumerable<Exception> Validate()
        {
            var e = new List<Exception>();

            return e;
        }

        public override void Submit()
        {
            System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect(umbraco.library.NiceUrl(1047) + "?done=true");
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the details will try to repro this week, more info soon

We're experiencing the same thing using Umbraco 4.11.8 and Contour 3.0.12, we didn't notice this issue, but were made aware of it a week ago, as with Greg, an App Restart will actually make this work for an unspecified amount of time, after which the content disappears.

Is there any news about this Tim?

Hi Tim

Any news on this issue?

I've noticed fields missing on some of my codefirst forms when I upgraded a project from u4.11 to u7.1.1.

Need a resolution to this fairly pronto.

Kind regards

Martin

Hi Tim

I've noticed when codefirst forms are pulled into umbraco 7 for the first time you have to remove the two entries in the web.config otherwise i get a YSOD. They get put back in once the app has restarted. I'm not sure if this is related?

My install has quite a few code first forms and it seems pretty random which ones are missing fields, I cannot see anything obvious. Is it possible (at least in the case of u7) it could be some kind of agressive caching problem?

You've come through in the past for me when I needed prompt attention to the contour codebase...dont let me down ;-)

Thanks 

Martin

Looking into the issue know will keep you updated 

Only syncing when in debug mode and not trying to sync otherwise would that be an option? 

And you are sure a content editor hasn't changed the forms?

Hi Tim

I testing local only at the moment so yes in debug mode.

M.

Hi Tim

I've tried running up my local instance with debugging enabled and disabled and it doesnt make any difference. Lots of forms with holes either way.

M.

Hi Tim

I've just taken a look at the UFFields table and it's missing rows. So the import process on application start isnt working correctly.

M.

Ok I can reproduce the issue, looking into a fix now, hope to have it ready today!

Phew cheers Tim.

M.

Ok and think I see what is happening for some reason it is removing the fields even though they don't need to be removed so fixing it now, bug fix will be available today

Thanks Tim you rock!

Of found it was a stupid type, build server is running now

One last thing Tim, what's the significance of the two ContourFormBuilderHttpModule web.config entries needing to be missing on first start? Is there any other way this can be achieved? It seems a bit scrappy that I have to remember to remove them on first import.

M.

@Martin could you create new forum topic for that :)

Sure :)

@Martin thanks, that way it's easier to keep track :)

For the missing fields could you give http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/3.0.21/ a try

And let me know if that fixes it (should also fix a YSOD you can get when first importing the form)

AWESOME! fields back to normal no YSOD!

I was hoping to attend CG14 but family pressures mean i've had to dip out another year! :-(

When I finally get the chance to attend CodeGarden, I owe you quite a few beers!

All the best

Martin

Great thanks for confirming :) There is also the Uk festival ;) should be in october/november!

Thanks, Tim, I'll give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.

Greg.

I'll look out for it. :-)

M.

is working on a reply...
