    My top 6 wish list for Contour :-)

    1. Import tool for CSV files
    2. Possibility to edit inserted items from backend
    3. Automatic field displaying the member or user posted each record (anonymous if none)
    4. Direct link to uploaded files in backend when using the "File upload" fieldtype, not just the path (eg /umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files...)
    5. Possibilyty to select default view when opening the Entries table (eg change standard view to "Submitted" not "Approved", and items from last "Month" not "24 hours")
    6. Possibility to add a macro to a page for editing given record in a Contour form

    Maybe some of this wishes are possible allready, but haven't figured out if so.

    Can I add to number 4 that files should be given unique names.

    @Dan, you'll be happy to hear that the unique name problem will be solved in this weeks maintenance release

    I put a vote up for number 2 and 6.

    Also, if it could be possible to add custom actions on a record in the backend it would make me really really happy. All I need is the possibility to define an image and url, and when the user click the image/link send the user to the specified url with the record id in the query string. Context menu might be an option.

    @Kristian - I have import for csv made already if you'd like some sample code.

    I would like the following features:

    1. Ability to define which fields are listed in the "grid view" for results. 
    2. Popup window to view entry details (1 & 2: it's a little tough viewing results grid for all but the simplest forms).
    3. Hidden fields that can grab parameters from querystring or post.
    4. Auto create form from Document Type and vice versa (create Document Type from form).
    Also, I find the event model / API a little confusing. Need more/better documentation there.

    Oh yeah, and "branching logic" so that if you answered such and such a value at step X, you branch to step Z. Is that too much to ask?! ;-)

    Harald; have you created a package or something for csv import? Saw your message on twitter about that :-)

    The package it's coming. I'm adding validations on import creating a new file with failed records. Need this for a customer, probably done after easter.

    Hi All

    Is there any news on

    1. Direct link to uploaded files in backend when using the "File upload" fieldtype, not just the path (eg /umbraco/plugins/umbracoContour/files...)

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Here's my top 3:
    1. My number one request is an ability to export and import forms, deployment is really painful now (having to completely recreate a form from scratch in my staging / production environment).
    2. The ability to sort items that I put in dropdown lists.
    3. E-mails by default use the "from" address in the umbracoSettings.config, I really want to be able to different addresses for different forms. Also, I would like to be able to have both a from name and a from address (My Name <[email protected]>).

    +1 on placing the form macro in 'edit' mode

    Guys,

    One thing i would like to see is ajax based file upload with progress bar and with ability to set upload size, so that before upload if file size is exceeded you get warning and not allowed to upload.

    Regards

    Ismial

    Hi Harald

    Do you still have the Contour Import script by any chance? Im looking to import Contour entries from an old installation to a new one, and hoping your script can be a starting point.

    pls let me know.
