I want to add drop-down menus in a prexisting Contact Form [my clent had someone set a contact form but their partnership has ended] but i don't know how.
Can i add it from the visual editor? If yes, can you point me to a tutorial?
Also, i am not a developer so any information will be appreciated.
Do you know whether the form is a custom build form or one that is setup using Umbraco Forms?
If they have Umbraco Forms installed you should be able to find the form in the forms section and then edit the form from within Umbraco to have the dropdown options. You can learn more about Umbraco forms here https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/
If on the other hand it's a custom form you'll probably need to search through the solution in Visual Studio if possible. I don't know if you have been given full access to the source code and if perhaps the form is built using C# at all? It might also be some 3rd party option embedded into a rich text editor field in Umbraco using Wufoo for instance?
You should be able to access forms the same way you access content and media (If it's been installed).
There's also a change that the form is custom made for some reason or that it's referencing a 3rd party like Wufoo for instance.
If you can't access the forms section I've mentioned you will probably need to get in touch with an Umbraco developer in order to achieve it. Maybe you'll be able to find a company from thist list who can help you out https://umbraco.com/partners/find-a-partner/
Thank you for your prompt response, i really appreciate it.
I believe i have access to neither and come to think of it, i probably don't have access to the setting panel also. I am seeing this when i use my clients credentials and i believe that he has very little rights when it comes to managing his property.
could be wrong because i have no experience with this CMS
:)
Yes the previous developer should have handed over the admin login since that is needed for setting up other users and assign then access to different sections etc.
If you can't get in touch with the previous dev and have them give you the credentials then I guess you'll need to do some database stuff resetting the admin but hopefully that won't be necessary!

Hi Panos and welcome to the Umbraco forum :)

Oh...sorry misread your initial post so did not catch the "I am not a developer" part.
So my answer is - If Umbraco forms is installed and you have access to it you should be able to add the dropdown yourself. Please see the editor documentation for working with forms here https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Editor/
You should be able to access forms the same way you access content and media (If it's been installed).

I hope this makes sense? :)
