Contour - error when using a form created by Contour

Hi there,

This may be environmental but in case it's a new issue I'll raise it anyway.

I have imported an Access db into SQL Server. I use 1 table to create a datasource and from that ds I create a form.

I insert the Contour macro into a textpage (existing template) and create a new node based on this and when I go to the new page in the front end I get:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Control '2ba200fb-aded-4289-b5ee-9ce287fb9d9c' referenced by the ControlToValidate property of 'mandatory' cannot be validated.

hey, many textfields, a couple of dates and a couple of checkboxes.

I'll try removing fields and see which one causes the issue.

ok, I dropped the table and recreated it using a script and it works so it must be environmental. some fields where mandatory, it may have been related to that. If I get time I will dig around a bit and try and get it to break again...

I am receiving the same errormessage on a form our customer have created. Did some backtracking, started by removing required fields from the bottom.

In the form we have a Checkbox "I approve" which is set to mandatory. This seems to be the field causing the exception. As soon as I remove the "mandatory" on that field the form is working correctly.

To recreate simply create a checkbox and set it as mandatory.

Normal ASP.NET checkboxes and radiobuttons cannot be mandatory.

Thanks for your answer, haven't tried using a checkbox as mandatory before.

So basically it isn't possible to create this with Contour.

We've added a fix for this in the latest nightly build, which you can get here:

http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/1.0.6/

The nightly only contains minor changes so should be safe to install, however we have not done final testing on it so there it is not a "official" release yet, but for those who need a fix right now, this is an option.

To update an existing installation, download the upgrade:

http://nightly.umbraco.org/Umbraco%20Contour/1.0.6/UmbracoContour_1.0.6_633952812677364112_update.zip

and unzip it in the root of your website.
